Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Photosynthesis

Maciej A. Zwieniecki spends much of his time researching Botany, Xylem, Transpiration, Water transport and Hydraulic conductivity. In his work, Aceraceae is strongly intertwined with Horticulture, which is a subfield of Botany. His work carried out in the field of Xylem brings together such families of science as Vascular bundle, Cavitation, Mechanics and Biophysics.

His work in Biophysics addresses subjects such as Biochemistry, which are connected to disciplines such as Lignin. In general Transpiration study, his work on Transpiration stream often relates to the realm of Plant Stomata, Microfluidics and Layer, thereby connecting several areas of interest. The concepts of his Hydraulic conductivity study are interwoven with issues in Swelling, Reticulate and Fraxinus.

His most cited work include:

  • Hydrogel control of xylem hydraulic resistance in plants. (442 citations)
  • Leaf hydraulic capacity in ferns, conifers and angiosperms: impacts on photosynthetic maxima (290 citations)
  • Angiosperm leaf vein evolution was physiologically and environmentally transformative (268 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Xylem, Transpiration, Horticulture and Biophysics. His research in Botany intersects with topics in Hydraulic conductivity and Aquaporin. He combines subjects such as Sugar, Parenchyma, Phloem and Water stress with his study of Xylem.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Soil water, Agronomy and Stomatal conductance in addition to Transpiration. Maciej A. Zwieniecki interconnects Bloom, Acclimatization and Carbohydrate in the investigation of issues within Horticulture. His studies in Biophysics integrate themes in fields like Membrane and Biochemistry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (52.08%)
  • Xylem (39.58%)
  • Transpiration (19.44%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Horticulture (17.36%)
  • Xylem (39.58%)
  • Sugar (9.03%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Maciej A. Zwieniecki mainly focuses on Horticulture, Xylem, Sugar, Biophysics and Phenology. The various areas that Maciej A. Zwieniecki examines in his Horticulture study include Bloom and Carbohydrate. In his study, Salinity is inextricably linked to Rootstock, which falls within the broad field of Xylem.

He has researched Biophysics in several fields, including Sporopollenin, Phloem and Apoplast. His work in Phloem tackles topics such as Sugar transport which are related to areas like Botany. Maciej A. Zwieniecki is interested in Absorption of water, which is a field of Botany.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The pitfalls of in vivo imaging techniques: evidence for cellular damage caused by synchrotron X-ray computed micro-tomography. (23 citations)
  • Priming xylem for stress recovery depends on coordinated activity of sugar metabolic pathways and changes in xylem sap pH (19 citations)
  • Diurnal Variation in Nonstructural Carbohydrate Storage in Trees: Remobilization and Vertical Mixing. (18 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Gene

His primary areas of study are Horticulture, Xylem, Agronomy, Context and Carbohydrate metabolism. His studies deal with areas such as Cuticle and Absorption of water as well as Horticulture. His research integrates issues of Starch, Sucrose, Biophysics, Diel vertical migration and Machine learning in his study of Xylem.

His Starch research includes themes of Diurnal temperature variation and Canopy, Botany. His Agronomy research incorporates themes from Hydraulic conductivity, Seasonality, Forest health and Water content. His Carbohydrate metabolism study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Apoplast, Osmosis, Metabolic pathway, Sugar and Maltose.
