Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Photosynthesis
  • Botany
  • Gene

Neil R. Baker mainly focuses on Photosynthesis, Photosystem II, Botany, Chlorophyll fluorescence and Photoinhibition. Neil R. Baker combines subjects such as Chloroplast, Agronomy and Antioxidant with his study of Photosynthesis. His research integrates issues of Photochemistry, Biophysics, Thylakoid and Fluorescence in his study of Photosystem II.

In the field of Botany, his study on Photosynthetic capacity overlaps with subjects such as Primary charge separation. Chlorophyll fluorescence is the subject of his research, which falls under Chlorophyll. Neil R. Baker interconnects Assimilation, Photorespiration and Reaction centre in the investigation of issues within Photoinhibition.

His most cited work include:

  • The relationship between the quantum yield of photosynthetic electron transport and quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence (6570 citations)
  • Chlorophyll fluorescence: a probe of photosynthesis in vivo (2364 citations)
  • Applications of chlorophyll fluorescence can improve crop production strategies: an examination of future possibilities (1014 citations)

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

Neil R. Baker mainly investigates Photosynthesis, Botany, Photosystem II, Chlorophyll fluorescence and Thylakoid. Canopy is closely connected to Agronomy in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Photosynthesis. His work on Leaf development expands to the thematically related Botany.

His Photosystem II research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Photochemistry, Electron transport chain and Chlorophyll a. His Photochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Light intensity, DCMU, Non-photochemical quenching and P700. His study in Chlorophyll fluorescence is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Quantum yield, Quenching and Carbon fixation.
