Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

Micaela Carvajal spends much of her time researching Botany, Salinity, Agronomy, Water transport and Nutrient. Her Xylem, Stomatal conductance and Shoot study, which is part of a larger body of work in Botany, is frequently linked to Water flow, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her work carried out in the field of Salinity brings together such families of science as Cultivar, Pepper, Horticulture, Brassica oleracea and Glucosinolate.

Her Cultivar research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Food science and Crop. In her study, Citrus paradisi, Photosynthetic pigment, Rutaceae and Chlorophyll is inextricably linked to Rootstock, which falls within the broad field of Agronomy. Her research integrates issues of Gene expression, Biophysics, Arabidopsis, Membrane permeability and Membrane protein in her study of Aquaporin.

Her most cited work include:

  • Root hydraulic conductance: diurnal aquaporin expression and the effects of nutrient stress (304 citations)
  • Chemical and biological characterisation of nutraceutical compounds of broccoli. (281 citations)
  • Diurnal variations in hydraulic conductivity and root pressure can be correlated with the expression of putative aquaporins in the roots of lotus japonicus (234 citations)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Salinity, Botany, Horticulture, Aquaporin and Agronomy. Her Salinity research incorporates themes from Rootstock, Osmotic pressure, Nutrient and Stomatal conductance. Her work on Plant nutrition is typically connected to Phosphorus as part of general Nutrient study, connecting several disciplines of science.

Her Botany study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Hydraulic conductivity and Melon. Her studies deal with areas such as Biophysics, Membrane and Abiotic stress as well as Aquaporin. Her Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Agriculture, Osmotic shock and Carbon dioxide.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Salinity (48.32%)
  • Botany (38.93%)
  • Horticulture (36.91%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Aquaporin (30.20%)
  • Horticulture (36.91%)
  • Salinity (48.32%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Aquaporin, Horticulture, Salinity, Membrane and Brassica. The various areas that she examines in her Aquaporin study include Gene expression, Abiotic stress, Regulation of gene expression, Centrifugation and Abiotic component. As part of her studies on Horticulture, Micaela Carvajal frequently links adjacent subjects like Nutrient.

Her Salinity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Pseudomonas syringae and Fusarium oxysporum, Botany. Her work on Plant species as part of general Botany study is frequently connected to Fruit set, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. Micaela Carvajal studied Membrane and Biophysics that intersect with Permeability.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Comparative effect of elicitors on the physiology and secondary metabolites in broccoli plants. (12 citations)
  • Plasma membrane aquaporins mediates vesicle stability in broccoli. (12 citations)
  • Plant plasma membrane vesicles interaction with keratinocytes reveals their potential as carriers (8 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Gene

Horticulture, Aquaporin, Membrane, Vesicle and Salinity are her primary areas of study. Micaela Carvajal combines subjects such as Photosynthesis, Gene expression and Nutrient with her study of Horticulture. The Nutrient study combines topics in areas such as Brassica and Salicylic acid.

Her research in Aquaporin intersects with topics in Osmotic pressure, Plant cell, Brassica rapa and Gene isoform. Her Membrane study incorporates themes from Biophysics and Cell signaling. Her Salinity research integrates issues from Cultivar, Botany, Bioremediation and Antiporter.
