Matthew Gilliham focuses on Botany, Arabidopsis, Salinity, Shoot and Biochemistry. His Botany research incorporates elements of Wheat grain, Transporter gene, Plant nutrition and Aquaporin. Matthew Gilliham has included themes like Arabidopsis thaliana and Cell biology in his Arabidopsis study.

His work deals with themes such as Symporter and Serine, which intersect with Arabidopsis thaliana. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Phloem, Glycine soja, Allele, Haplotype and Genetic variation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Dry weight and Turgor pressure.

His most cited work include:

  • Wheat grain yield on saline soils is improved by an ancestral Na + transporter gene (456 citations)
  • Wheat grain yield on saline soils is improved by an ancestral Na + transporter gene (456 citations)
  • Salinity tolerance of crops – what is the cost? (416 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Botany, Shoot, Arabidopsis, Biochemistry and Biophysics. His Botany research includes themes of Gene, Candidate gene, Nutrient and Symporter. Matthew Gilliham has researched Shoot in several fields, including Quantitative trait locus, Salinity, Gene expression and Xylem.

His Arabidopsis research incorporates elements of Arabidopsis thaliana, Exocytosis, Hydroponics and Cell biology. His Biophysics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Extracellular, Xenopus, Transporter and Aquaporin. His research integrates issues of Wheat grain, Transporter gene, Carrier protein, Plant roots and Salt Tolerant Plants in his study of Soil salinity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (36.00%)
  • Shoot (28.80%)
  • Arabidopsis (24.00%)

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

  • Shoot (28.80%)
  • Salinity (18.40%)
  • Transporter (20.80%)

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

Matthew Gilliham mainly investigates Shoot, Salinity, Transporter, Biophysics and Xenopus. His Shoot research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Allele, Gene expression and Xylem. His research in Salinity intersects with topics in Cultivar and Agronomy.

His Transporter study combines topics in areas such as Transport protein and Arabidopsis thaliana. His Biophysics research integrates issues from Extracellular, Cotransporter, Efflux and Ion transporter. His Soil salinity research also works with subjects such as

  • Botany which connect with Nutrient,
  • Protein kinase A, which have a strong connection to Arabidopsis and Transcriptome.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Energy costs of salt tolerance in crop plants (93 citations)
  • Evolution of chloroplast retrograde signaling facilitates green plant adaptation to land (55 citations)
  • Energy costs of salinity tolerance in crop plants. (30 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

His primary scientific interests are in Transporter, Biophysics, Toxicity, Aquaporin and Extracellular. His work deals with themes such as Transport protein, Leucine, Crop yield and Xylem, which intersect with Transporter. His studies deal with areas such as Phenotype, Single amino acid, Function, Systems biology and Sequence as well as Transport protein.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Cotransporter, Mutant, Membrane, Phosphorylation and Patch clamp in addition to Biophysics. His studies in Aquaporin integrate themes in fields like Photosynthesis, Membrane transport, Efficient energy use and Apoplast. His study in Extracellular is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Xenopus, Cytoplasm, Protein kinase C and Muscimol.
