Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biochemistry, Botany, Agronomy, Gene expression and Arabidopsis thaliana. His study involves Transporter, Gene family, Arabidopsis, Gene and Regulation of gene expression, a branch of Biochemistry. His Botany research incorporates themes from Hyperaccumulator, Food science and Osmoregulation.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Plant nutrition and Nutrient. Malcolm J. Hawkesford has included themes like Fertilizer, Sulfate assimilation, Reductase, Anthesis and Animal science in his Gene expression study. His Arabidopsis thaliana research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Vascular bundle, Cysteine synthase complex, Lateral root, Xylem and Heterologous expression.

His most cited work include:

  • The roles of three functional sulphate transporters involved in uptake and translocation of sulphate in Arabidopsis thaliana (421 citations)
  • Functions of macronutrients (406 citations)
  • Sulphur assimilation and effects on yield and quality of wheat. (321 citations)

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

Malcolm J. Hawkesford mainly focuses on Agronomy, Biochemistry, Botany, Gene and Crop yield. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Nutrient and Plant nutrition. His research in Transporter, Enzyme, Arabidopsis, Metabolism and Glutathione are components of Biochemistry.

Brassica and Shoot are the core of his Botany study. Shoot is often connected to Sulfur metabolism in his work. His study in Gene focuses on Gene expression, Gene family, Mutant and Arabidopsis thaliana.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (27.19%)
  • Biochemistry (26.32%)
  • Botany (16.96%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Agronomy (27.19%)
  • Nutrient (8.19%)
  • Crop (7.60%)

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

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Nutrient, Crop, Horticulture and Gene. His studies in Agronomy integrate themes in fields like Photosynthesis and Nitrate. His study in Crop is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Resource, Germplasm, Crop yield, Agricultural engineering and Food security.

His research investigates the connection with Horticulture and areas like Sulfur metabolism which intersect with concerns in Shoot. His Shoot research focuses on Salinity and how it connects with Biochemistry. His work in Gene addresses subjects such as Botany, which are connected to disciplines such as Plant nutrition, Cell biology and Abiotic stress.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • High Throughput Field Phenotyping of Wheat Plant Height and Growth Rate in Field Plot Trials Using UAV Based Remote Sensing (152 citations)
  • Field Scanalyzer: An automated robotic field phenotyping platform for detailed crop monitoring (148 citations)
  • Leaf photosynthesis and associations with grain yield, biomass and nitrogen-use efficiency in landraces, synthetic-derived lines and cultivars in wheat (61 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

His scientific interests lie mostly in Crop, Nutrient, Botany, Biochemistry and Resource. His Crop research is included under the broader classification of Agronomy. Malcolm J. Hawkesford combines subjects such as Reduced nitrogen and Animal feed with his study of Agronomy.

His work deals with themes such as Agroforestry, Abscisic acid, Agriculture, Transcriptome and Sulfur assimilation, which intersect with Nutrient. His Botany research incorporates elements of Gene and Abiotic stress. Malcolm J. Hawkesford has researched Biochemistry in several fields, including Sulfate transport, Salinity and Potassium deficiency.
