Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Organic chemistry

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Cuticle, Wax, Plant cuticle and Cutin. His Botany research includes elements of Absorbance, Food science and Chemical composition. As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Cuticle, narrowing it down to issues related to the Chromatography, and often Sorption and Membrane.

His study of Epicuticular wax is a part of Wax. The Plant cuticle study which covers Hedera helix that intersects with Clivia miniata. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Fagus sylvatica, Picea abies, Suberin, Terrestrial plant and Chemical ecology.

His most cited work include:

  • Protecting against water loss: analysis of the barrier properties of plant cuticles (564 citations)
  • Plant Surface Properties in Chemical Ecology (293 citations)
  • Effects of natural intensities of visible and ultraviolet radiation on epidermal ultraviolet screening and photosynthesis in grape leaves. (261 citations)

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

Markus Riederer mostly deals with Botany, Wax, Cuticle, Cutin and Plant cuticle. His study in the field of Transpiration, Germination and Suberin also crosses realms of Composition. His work deals with themes such as Monstera deliciosa, Horticulture and Permeability, which intersect with Transpiration.

Markus Riederer works mostly in the field of Wax, limiting it down to concerns involving Chemical composition and, occasionally, Alkyl. His Cuticle research includes themes of Partition coefficient, Chromatography, Prunus laurocerasus, Ficus elastica and Membrane. The various areas that he examines in his Chromatography study include Alcohol, Sorption and Diffusion.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (56.82%)
  • Wax (49.24%)
  • Cuticle (37.12%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Botany (56.82%)
  • Wax (49.24%)
  • Cutin (20.45%)

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

Markus Riederer mainly focuses on Botany, Wax, Cutin, Cuticle and Plant cuticle. Botany connects with themes related to Chemical composition in his study. Much of his study explores Wax relationship to Membrane.

His study in Cutin is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cultivar, Horticulture and Olea. His Cuticle research integrates issues from Ecophysiology, Epiphyte, Permeability, Evergreen and Liana. His Plant cuticle research incorporates themes from Perennial plant, Prunus laurocerasus, Drupe and Permeation.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The ecophysiology of leaf cuticular transpiration: are cuticular water permeabilities adapted to ecological conditions? (41 citations)
  • The desert plant Phoenix dactylifera closes stomata via nitrate‐regulated SLAC1 anion channel (27 citations)
  • Effects of temperature on the cuticular transpiration barrier of two desert plants with water-spender and water-saver strategies. (22 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Organic chemistry

Botany, Cuticle, Transpiration, Phoenix dactylifera and Cutin are his primary areas of study. His Abscisic acid research extends to Botany, which is thematically connected. Markus Riederer studies Plant cuticle which is a part of Cuticle.

The Transpiration study combines topics in areas such as Ecology, Resistance, Citrullus colocynthis and Horticulture. Markus Riederer has researched Cutin in several fields, including Cultivar, Malus, Ursolic acid, Late season and Wax. His work carried out in the field of Wax brings together such families of science as Olea, Chemical composition and Postharvest.
