Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Enzyme

Marcel A. K. Jansen mostly deals with Cell biology, Botany, Biochemistry, Auxin and Photosynthesis. His work deals with themes such as Phenotype, Morphogenesis, Abiotic stress and Acclimatization, which intersect with Cell biology. His work on Terpenoid as part of general Botany research is frequently linked to Stressor, bridging the gap between disciplines.

In his works, Marcel A. K. Jansen conducts interdisciplinary research on Biochemistry and Genetically modified tomato. His Auxin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Reactive oxygen species, Arabidopsis and Cell growth. His study in Photosynthesis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biophysics and Tocotrienol.

His most cited work include:

  • Higher plants and UV-B radiation: balancing damage, repair and acclimation (797 citations)
  • Stress-induced morphogenic responses: growing out of trouble? (523 citations)
  • UV-B exposure, ROS, and stress: inseparable companions or loosely linked associates? (305 citations)

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

Marcel A. K. Jansen spends much of his time researching Botany, Photosynthesis, Biochemistry, Photosystem II and Cell biology. His Botany research incorporates elements of UVR8 and Arabidopsis. His biological study deals with issues like Biophysics, which deal with fields such as Uv b radiation.

His Photosystem II study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Plastoquinone, Photosynthetic reaction centre, Protein degradation and Photochemistry. His work carried out in the field of Cell biology brings together such families of science as Arabidopsis thaliana, Morphogenesis, Auxin and Acclimatization. His research in Arabidopsis thaliana intersects with topics in Kaempferol and Rosette.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (38.51%)
  • Photosynthesis (25.00%)
  • Biochemistry (22.30%)

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

  • Lemna minor (12.16%)
  • Environmental chemistry (8.78%)
  • Ecology (10.81%)

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

Marcel A. K. Jansen mainly investigates Lemna minor, Environmental chemistry, Ecology, Climate change and Botany. His study on Environmental chemistry also encompasses disciplines like

  • Phytotoxicity that connect with fields like Toxicity, Zinc, Wood ash, Fly ash and Frond,
  • Productivity and related Plant physiology, Nitrogen and Urea. His study ties his expertise on Amplified fragment length polymorphism together with the subject of Botany.

Photosystem II is closely connected to Photosynthetic efficiency in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Chlorophyll. His studies deal with areas such as Phenotype, Dry weight and Greenhouse as well as Photosystem II. The various areas that Marcel A. K. Jansen examines in his Photosynthesis study include Biomass, Arabidopsis thaliana, Plant morphology and Rosette.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Environmental effects of ozone depletion, UV radiation and interactions with climate change: UNEP Environmental Effects Assessment Panel, update 2017 (97 citations)
  • Linkages between stratospheric ozone, UV radiation and climate change and their implications for terrestrial ecosystems (43 citations)
  • Ozone depletion, ultraviolet radiation, climate change and prospects for a sustainable future (22 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Enzyme

His primary areas of investigation include Ultraviolet, Ozone depletion, Climate change, Biophysics and Uv b radiation. His Ultraviolet research includes themes of Greenhouse, Cucumis, Phenotype, Dry weight and Photosystem II. While working on this project, Marcel A. K. Jansen studies both Biophysics and Interactive effects.

His research integrates issues of Biotic component and Sustainability in his study of Ecosystem. The Global warming study combines topics in areas such as Air quality index, Abiotic component, Aquatic ecosystem and Greenhouse gas. He has researched Plant species in several fields, including UVR8, Blue light, Plant production and Spectral composition.
