Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Mark G. M. Aarts mostly deals with Gene, Arabidopsis, Botany, Arabidopsis thaliana and Hyperaccumulator. His Gene study is associated with Genetics. His research on Arabidopsis concerns the broader Mutant.

His Arabidopsis thaliana research incorporates themes from Plant genetics, Plant morphology, Quantitative trait locus, Domestication and Physiology. His work on Thlaspi caerulescens as part of general Hyperaccumulator study is frequently linked to Heavy metal detoxification, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work in Thlaspi caerulescens tackles topics such as Thlaspi which are related to areas like Transporter and Genomics.

His most cited work include:

  • Plant science: the key to preventing slow cadmium poisoning (502 citations)
  • Large Expression Differences in Genes for Iron and Zinc Homeostasis, Stress Response, and Lignin Biosynthesis Distinguish Roots of Arabidopsis thaliana and the Related Metal Hyperaccumulator Thlaspi caerulescens (386 citations)
  • INTRAGENIC RECOMBINATION AND DIVERSIFYING SELECTION CONTRIBUTE TO THE EVOLUTION OF DOWNY MILDEW RESISTANCE AT THE RPP8 LOCUS OF ARABIDOPSIS (384 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Arabidopsis thaliana, Arabidopsis, Genetics and Gene. Mark G. M. Aarts has included themes like Hyperaccumulator and Transcriptome in his Botany study. His work in the fields of Hyperaccumulator, such as Thlaspi caerulescens, overlaps with other areas such as Heavy metal detoxification.

His work focuses on many connections between Arabidopsis thaliana and other disciplines, such as Adaptation, that overlap with his field of interest in Environmental change and Fitness landscape. His Arabidopsis study deals with Biotechnology intersecting with Plant nutrition. In his study, Genomics is inextricably linked to Identification, which falls within the broad field of Gene.

  • Arabidopsis thaliana (38.33%)
  • Genetics (31.67%)
  • Arabidopsis (32.50%)

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

His primary areas of study are Arabidopsis thaliana, Genetics, Arabidopsis, Gene and Mitochondrial DNA. The various areas that Mark G. M. Aarts examines in his Arabidopsis thaliana study include Quantitative trait locus, Photosynthetic efficiency and Botany. His research integrates issues of Ecology and Environmental change in his study of Genetics.

His Arabidopsis study deals with the bigger picture of Biochemistry. Mark G. M. Aarts frequently studies issues relating to Cell biology and Gene. His Mitochondrial DNA study incorporates themes from Phenotype, Epistasis, Ploidy and Genome.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • LPCAT1 controls phosphate homeostasis in a zinc-dependent manner. (30 citations)
  • Converging phenomics and genomics to study natural variation in plant photosynthetic efficiency. (28 citations)
  • Transcriptional effects of cadmium on iron homeostasis differ in calamine accessions of Noccaea caerulescens (15 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

His main research concerns Genetics, Arabidopsis, Hyperaccumulator, Nicotianamine synthase and Shoot. His Genetics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Fitness landscape and Biofortification. His Arabidopsis research integrates issues from Phylogenetic tree, Zinc deficiency, Transcription factor, Function and Ectopic expression.

The Hyperaccumulator study combines topics in areas such as Botany, Iron deficiency and Calamine.
