Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Ecology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Anatomy, Cell biology, Arabidopsis and Meristem. Nancy G. Dengler integrates Botany with Systematics in her research. Her Anatomy research focuses on subjects like Vascular bundle, which are linked to Photosynthesis and Convergent evolution.

Her Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Primordium, Heterochrony, Cellular differentiation, Morphogenesis and Leaf morphogenesis. Her work carried out in the field of Arabidopsis brings together such families of science as Evolutionary biology, Pattern formation, Process, Cell type and Leaf cell. Her Meristem research incorporates themes from Rosette, Leaf development, Xylem and Arabidopsis thaliana.

Her most cited work include:

  • Cell cycling and cell enlargement in developing leaves of Arabidopsis. (626 citations)
  • Leaf Vascular Pattern Formation. (286 citations)
  • fusca3: A Heterochronic Mutation Affecting Late Embryo Development in Arabidopsis. (219 citations)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Botany, Meristem, Vascular bundle, Anatomy and Cell biology. Her study in Botany is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Primordium and Leaf development. Her Meristem research incorporates elements of Leaf water and Cellular differentiation.

Her Vascular bundle research focuses on Photosynthesis and how it relates to Poaceae. Her work on Lamina as part of general Anatomy research is often related to Intercellular space and Monstera, thus linking different fields of science. Her research in Cell biology intersects with topics in Arabidopsis, Leaf morphogenesis and Programmed cell death.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (81.48%)
  • Meristem (29.63%)
  • Vascular bundle (22.22%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2001-2018)?

  • Botany (81.48%)
  • Meristem (29.63%)
  • Cell biology (20.99%)

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

Nancy G. Dengler mostly deals with Botany, Meristem, Cell biology, Anatomy and Primordium. Botany is often connected to Arabidopsis thaliana in her work. Her Meristem research integrates issues from Morphogenesis and Leaf water.

Her Cell biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cellular differentiation, Arabidopsis, Leaf morphogenesis and Programmed cell death. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Vascular bundle, Convergent evolution and RuBisCO. Her studies in Primordium integrate themes in fields like Homeobox and Phyllotaxis.

Between 2001 and 2018, her most popular works were:

  • Programmed Cell Death Remodels Lace Plant Leaf Shape during Development (172 citations)
  • Diversity of Kranz anatomy and biochemistry in C4 eudicots (147 citations)
  • Phylogeny of Flaveria (Asteraceae) and inference of C4 photosynthesis evolution. (115 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Ecology

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Anatomy, Botany, Flaveria, Vascular bundle and Meristem. Her Anatomy study also includes fields such as

  • Aponogeton madagascariensis which connect with Perforation, Morphogenesis, Ultrastructure and Leaf morphogenesis,
  • Programmed cell death that intertwine with fields like Cytoplasmic streaming, Tracheary element differentiation and Organelle. Nancy G. Dengler regularly ties together related areas like Maximum parsimony in her Botany studies.

Her Vascular bundle research includes themes of Calcicola, RuBisCO and Heliotropium tenellum. The Meristem study combines topics in areas such as Homeobox, Arabidopsis, Vascular tissue and Cell biology. Her Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cell cycle and Cell division.
