Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • DNA

His main research concerns Botany, Protoplast, Callus, Transformation and Shoot. His studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like Tissue culture, Somatic embryogenesis, Nitrogen fixation, Rhizobiaceae and Oryza sativa. His Protoplast research includes elements of Cell culture, Plating efficiency, Molecular biology, Agarose and Electroporation.

His study in Callus is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Micropropagation, Explant culture, Dry weight and Regeneration. His Transformation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Genetically modified crops, Plasmid and Kanamycin. His Shoot research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Lotus corniculatus, Kinetin, Hypocotyl, Trefoil and Seedling.

His most cited work include:

  • Plant protoplasts: status and biotechnological perspectives (271 citations)
  • Transgenic rice plants produced by electroporation-mediated plasmid uptake into protoplasts (245 citations)
  • Effects of PSAG12-IPT Gene Expression on Development and Senescence in Transgenic Lettuce (197 citations)

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

Botany, Protoplast, Callus, Shoot and Transformation are his primary areas of study. His Botany research includes themes of Micropropagation, Somatic embryogenesis, Explant culture, Tissue culture and Horticulture. He has included themes like Cell culture, Plating efficiency, Electroporation and Regeneration in his Protoplast study.

The study of Callus is intertwined with the study of Seedling in a number of ways. Michael R. Davey has researched Shoot in several fields, including Axenic, Murashige and Skoog medium, Cotyledon, Organogenesis and Cytokinin. The study incorporates disciplines such as Genetically modified crops and Molecular biology in addition to Transformation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (63.59%)
  • Protoplast (35.36%)
  • Callus (18.73%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2017)?

  • Botany (63.59%)
  • Horticulture (12.14%)
  • Biotechnology (6.33%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Horticulture, Biotechnology, Somatic embryogenesis and Shoot. His Botany research focuses on Protoplast and Callus. His Horticulture research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Pesticide resistance, Bromeliaceae and Cryopreservation.

His Biotechnology research integrates issues from Gene transfer, Cultivar, Gentianaceae and Floriculture. Michael R. Davey combines subjects such as Range, Gentiana, Murashige and Skoog medium and Polymorphism with his study of Somatic embryogenesis. His research in Shoot intersects with topics in Explant culture, Pisang Awak and Cutting.

Between 2005 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Plant developmental biology : biotechnological perspectives (68 citations)
  • Production of asiaticoside and madecassoside in Centella asiatica in vitro and in vivo (63 citations)
  • Induced Mutagenesis in Plants Using Physical and Chemical Agents (58 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • DNA

Michael R. Davey mainly focuses on Botany, Agrobacterium, Somatic embryogenesis, Biochemistry and Random positioning machine. His work on Protoplast as part of general Botany research is frequently linked to Phoenix dactylifera, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. The various areas that he examines in his Protoplast study include Chromosome, Hybrid, Somatic fusion, Nicotiana and Ploidy.

His Agrobacterium study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Chlorophyll b, In vitro, In vivo and Terpenoid. Michael R. Davey works mostly in the field of Somatic embryogenesis, limiting it down to topics relating to Somaclonal variation and, in certain cases, Developmental biology, Explant culture, Storage protein, Fatty acid elongation and Cotyledon. His Random positioning machine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biophysics and Cellular differentiation.
