Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry

Markus Pauly mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Cell wall, Botany, Arabidopsis thaliana and Mutant. He works on Cell wall which deals in particular with Xyloglucan. The various areas that he examines in his Botany study include Biomass, Lipid metabolism, Lipid biosynthesis and Bacteria.

Markus Pauly works mostly in the field of Biomass, limiting it down to concerns involving Biofuel and, occasionally, Lignin, Biochemical engineering and Hemicellulose. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Arabidopsis thaliana, Xylosyltransferase, Secondary cell wall, Glycoprotein, Root hair elongation and Extensin is strongly linked to Root hair. His Mutant research includes themes of Inflorescence, Glycosyltransferase and Cell biology.

His most cited work include:

  • Cell‐wall carbohydrates and their modification as a resource for biofuels (568 citations)
  • Integrated Analysis of Metabolite and Transcript Levels Reveals the Metabolic Shifts That Underlie Tomato Fruit Development and Highlight Regulatory Aspects of Metabolic Network Behavior (372 citations)
  • An Arabidopsis gene regulatory network for secondary cell wall synthesis (360 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Biochemistry, Cell wall, Arabidopsis, Xyloglucan and Mutant. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cellulose, Gene, Biosynthesis, Pectin and Polysaccharide in addition to Cell wall. His work deals with themes such as Botany, Function, Golgi apparatus, Wild type and Genetic screen, which intersect with Arabidopsis.

His Botany study incorporates themes from Polymer and Bacteria. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Secondary cell wall, Cellulase, Biophysics, Apoplast and Oligosaccharide. His study in Mutant is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Phenotype, Oryza sativa, Mutation and Cell biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (70.24%)
  • Cell wall (66.07%)
  • Arabidopsis (35.12%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Cell wall (66.07%)
  • Biochemistry (70.24%)
  • Mutant (35.71%)

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

Markus Pauly focuses on Cell wall, Biochemistry, Mutant, Polysaccharide and Lignin. His Cell wall study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Gene and Function. His study in Biochemistry focuses on Glucan in particular.

He combines subjects such as Xyloglucan and Cell biology with his study of Mutant. While the research belongs to areas of Polysaccharide, Markus Pauly spends his time largely on the problem of Biosynthesis, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Hydrolase and Mutation. His research on Lignin also deals with topics like

  • Pulp that connect with fields like Yield, Cellulose, Raw material and Cellulose fiber,
  • Pulp and paper industry that connect with fields like Lignocellulosic biomass, Biomass, Hydrolysis, Cellulase and Hemicellulose.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Mechanistic insights from plant heteromannan synthesis in yeast (15 citations)
  • The synthesis of xyloglucan, an abundant plant cell wall polysaccharide, requires CSLC function. (7 citations)
  • Deposition of lignin in four species of Saccharum. (7 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Genetics

His main research concerns Lignin, Cell wall, Hydrolysis, Fractionation and Pulp. His research on Lignin frequently links to adjacent areas such as Plant stem. His Cell wall research is within the category of Biochemistry.

His Biochemistry study typically links adjacent topics like Function. Markus Pauly has researched Hydrolysis in several fields, including Cellulose, Cellulose fiber and Pulp and paper industry. His Gene research includes elements of Botany and Saccharum.
