Melvin J. Oliver

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Gene
• Botany
• DNA

His main research concerns Desiccation tolerance, Desiccation, Botany, Tortula ruralis and Moss. His Desiccation tolerance research includes themes of Trehalose and Biochemistry. Melvin J. Oliver interconnects Photosynthesis, Gametophyte, Gene and Transcriptome in the investigation of issues within Desiccation.

His work in the fields of Botany, such as Spore, Lichen and Plant physiology, intersects with other areas such as Cellular level and Protection system. He has included themes like Bryophyte, Messenger RNA, Gene expression and Protein biosynthesis in his Tortula ruralis study. He combines subjects such as Plant cell, Kingdom Plantae and Abscisic acid with his study of Moss.

His most cited work include:

• The evolution of vegetative desiccation tolerance in land plants (334 citations)
• Desiccation-tolerance in bryophytes: a review (290 citations)
• Desiccation Tolerance in Bryophytes: A Reflection of the Primitive Strategy for Plant Survival in Dehydrating Habitats? (218 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Desiccation tolerance, Desiccation, Tortula ruralis and Gene. As a member of one scientific family, Melvin J. Oliver mostly works in the field of Botany, focusing on Horticulture and, on occasion, Chinese spring and Sucrose. His Desiccation tolerance study is associated with Ecology.

His Desiccation research incorporates elements of Gametophyte, Transcriptome, Biochemistry, Dehydration and Cell biology. The concepts of his Tortula ruralis study are interwoven with issues in Complementary DNA, Expressed sequence tag, Ribosomal protein, Ribosomal RNA and Protein biosynthesis. His work carried out in the field of Gene brings together such families of science as Evolutionary biology and Resurrection plant.

He most often published in these fields:

• Botany (41.32%)
• Desiccation tolerance (40.50%)
• Desiccation (38.84%)

• Desiccation tolerance (40.50%)
• Gene (22.31%)
• Desiccation (38.84%)

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

Melvin J. Oliver mainly investigates Desiccation tolerance, Gene, Desiccation, Cell biology and Evolutionary biology. His Desiccation tolerance research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Arabidopsis thaliana and Key genes. His study with Desiccation involves better knowledge in Botany.

His Sporobolus stapfianus study in the realm of Botany connects with subjects such as Nitrogen. Melvin J. Oliver has researched Cell biology in several fields, including Abscisic acid and Seedling. His Evolutionary biology study also includes

• Phylogenetics, Physcomitrella and Gene family most often made with reference to Gene duplication,
• Synteny, which have a strong connection to Comparative genomics.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• A footprint of desiccation tolerance in the genome of Xerophyta viscosa (72 citations)
• The Physcomitrella patens gene atlas project: large-scale RNA-seq based expression data. (34 citations)
• Sporobolus stapfianus: Insights into desiccation tolerance in the resurrection grasses from linking transcriptomics to metabolomics (32 citations)

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

• Gene
• Botany
• DNA

His main research concerns Desiccation tolerance, Desiccation, Cell biology, Gene and Transcriptome. The Desiccation study combines topics in areas such as Dehydration, Cell damage and Metabolic Stress. His work focuses on many connections between Cell biology and other disciplines, such as Abscisic acid, that overlap with his field of interest in Gene expression profiling, Transcription factor, Real-time polymerase chain reaction, Shoot and Transcription.

His Transcriptome study combines topics in areas such as Phylogenetics, Genome and Botany, Drought tolerance. As a part of the same scientific family, Melvin J. Oliver mostly works in the field of Genome, focusing on Computational biology and, on occasion, Protonema and Physcomitrella patens. Melvin J. Oliver works on Botany which deals in particular with Seedling.
