Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Botany

Marianne Pedersén mainly investigates Botany, Algae, Biochemistry, Photosynthesis and Hydrogen peroxide. The study incorporates disciplines such as Superoxide dismutase and Catalase in addition to Botany. Her Algae study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Environmental chemistry, Oxidative stress, Seawater and Brackish water.

Her Photosynthesis research incorporates themes from Total inorganic carbon and Thallus. Her biological study deals with issues like Carbonic anhydrase, which deal with fields such as Gracilaria. Her Hydrogen peroxide research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Bromoform, H2O2 scavenging and Nuclear chemistry.

Her most cited work include:

  • The Effect of Activated Charcoal on Tissue Cultures: Adsorption of Metabolites Inhibiting Morphogenesis (229 citations)
  • Oxidative stress tolerance in the filamentous green algae Cladophora glomerata and Enteromorpha ahlneriana (128 citations)
  • Induction of Oxidative Stress in the Red Macroalga Gracilaria tenuistipitata by Pollutant Metals (118 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Algae, Biochemistry, Photosynthesis and Environmental chemistry. Her Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Seawater and Food science. Her Algae research incorporates elements of Salinity and Brackish water.

Her work in Biochemistry addresses subjects such as Immunogold labelling, which are connected to disciplines such as Glycogen phosphorylase and Cell wall. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including DCMU, Total inorganic carbon, Kappaphycus alvarezii and Respiration. Her studies deal with areas such as Phytoplankton and Plankton as well as Environmental chemistry.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (51.79%)
  • Algae (31.25%)
  • Biochemistry (25.00%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2003-2013)?

  • Botany (51.79%)
  • Algae (31.25%)
  • Kappaphycus alvarezii (10.71%)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Botany, Algae, Kappaphycus alvarezii, Biochemistry and Photosynthesis. Her Botany research includes themes of Gene and Thiamine. As a part of the same scientific study, Marianne Pedersén usually deals with the Algae, concentrating on Nitrate reductase and frequently concerns with Constant light.

Her Kappaphycus alvarezii study incorporates themes from Food science and Plastoquinone. She focuses mostly in the field of Photosynthesis, narrowing it down to topics relating to Violaxanthin and, in certain cases, Antheraxanthin, Ecophysiology and Chlorophyll. The Chlorophyta study combines topics in areas such as Oxidative stress and Hydrogen peroxide.

Between 2003 and 2013, her most popular works were:

  • Oxidative stress tolerance in the filamentous green algae Cladophora glomerata and Enteromorpha ahlneriana (128 citations)
  • Active carbon uptake in Laminaria digitata and L. saccharina (Phaeophyta) is driven by a proton pump in the plasma membrane (44 citations)
  • In vitro assay and light regulation of nitrate reductase in red alga Gracilaria chilensis. (38 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Organic chemistry

Her main research concerns Algae, Botany, Biochemistry, Green algae and Chlorophyta. In her research, Darkness is intimately related to Photosynthesis, which falls under the overarching field of Algae. The concepts of her Botany study are interwoven with issues in Phycocyanin and Pigment composition.

Marianne Pedersén interconnects Agarophyte, Gracilaria and Nitrate in the investigation of issues within Biochemistry. Her Green algae research integrates issues from Oxidative stress, Chlorophyll, Ecophysiology, Violaxanthin and Xanthophyll. Her Chlorophyta research includes elements of Superoxide dismutase, Catalase and Hydrogen peroxide.
