Margrethe Serek

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

• Botany
• Gene
• Horticulture

Margrethe Serek spends much of her time researching Biochemistry, Botany, 1-Methylcyclopropene, Abscission and Ripening. Her work in the fields of Biochemistry, such as Receptor and Somatic embryogenesis, intersects with other areas such as Methylenecyclopropane. Her Botany study focuses mostly on Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, Postharvest and Flor.

Her 1-Methylcyclopropene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Carnation, Cut flowers, Horticulture, Vase life and Ethylene binding. Her Carnation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Medicinal chemistry and Plant physiology. Margrethe Serek focuses mostly in the field of Abscission, narrowing it down to matters related to Silver thiosulfate and, in some cases, Phlox paniculata, Begonia, Fumigation and Phlox.

Her most cited work include:

• Inhibitors of ethylene responses in plants at the receptor level: Recent developments (824 citations)
• Effect of 1-methylcyclopropene and methylenecyclopropane on ethylene binding and ethylene action on cut carnations (220 citations)
• Novel Gaseous Ethylene Binding Inhibitor Prevents Ethylene Effects in Potted Flowering Plants (202 citations)

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

Her main research concerns Botany, Horticulture, Postharvest, 1-Methylcyclopropene and Cultivar. Her research integrates issues of Transformation and Somatic embryogenesis in her study of Botany. Her Horticulture research incorporates themes from Micropropagation and Murashige and Skoog medium.

Her study on Postharvest also encompasses disciplines like

• Abscission and related Ethylene binding, Silver thiosulfate and Receptor,

• Petal that intertwine with fields like Sepal. Her 1-Methylcyclopropene study also includes

• Ripening that intertwine with fields like Biochemistry,

• Carnation that intertwine with fields like Vase life. Her work in Cultivar addresses subjects such as Abscisic acid, which are connected to disciplines such as Plant physiology.

She most often published in these fields:

• Botany (57.76%)
• Horticulture (46.58%)
• Postharvest (21.74%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

• Horticulture (46.58%)
• Botany (57.76%)
• Gene (8.70%)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Horticulture, Botany, Gene, Petunia and Ornamental plant. Her study in Horticulture focuses on Cultivar, Vase life, Petal, Carnation and Rosa hybrida. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Micropropagation, Callus, Subculture and Somatic embryogenesis.

Her Botany research incorporates themes from Genetically modified crops, Cytokinin and Regeneration. Her Petunia study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Arabidopsis thaliana, Transgene, Tobacco rattle virus, Molecular biology and Kalanchoe. Her studies examine the connections between Ornamental plant and genetics, as well as such issues in Phalaenopsis, with regards to Kalanchoe blossfeldiana.

Between 2014 and 2020, her most popular works were:

• Manipulation of MKS1 gene expression affects Kalanchoë blossfeldiana and Petunia hybrida phenotypes. (17 citations)
• Blue light postpones senescence of carnation flowers through regulation of ethylene and abscisic acid pathway-related genes. (4 citations)
• Expression analysis by RT-PCR of genes involved in ethylene synthesis and signal transduction in miniature roses (4 citations)

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

• Botany
• Gene
• Horticulture

Her primary areas of study are Botany, Inflorescence, Carnation, Dianthus and Gene. A large part of her Botany studies is devoted to Kalanchoe blossfeldiana. Her studies deal with areas such as MADS-box, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Perianth, Sepal and Plant physiology as well as Inflorescence.

The various areas that she examines in her Carnation study include Senescence, Cell biology, Vase life and Petal. Her Dianthus study deals with the bigger picture of Horticulture. Her study with Gene involves better knowledge in Biochemistry.
