  • Member of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

Nicholas P. Harberd mainly focuses on Arabidopsis, Botany, Gibberellin, Cell biology and Mutant. His Arabidopsis study incorporates themes from Regulation of gene expression and Transcription factor. The various areas that he examines in his Botany study include Reactive oxygen species, Abiotic stress and Second messenger system.

His Gibberellin research includes elements of Salicylic acid, Jasmonic acid, Growth inhibition and Pseudomonas syringae. His Cell biology research integrates issues from Plant growth and Auxin. His Mutant research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Mitosis and Petal.

His most cited work include:

  • ‘Green revolution’ genes encode mutant gibberellin response modulators (1441 citations)
  • Integration of plant responses to environmentally activated phytohormonal signals. (1047 citations)
  • The Arabidopsis GAI gene defines a signaling pathway that negatively regulates gibberellin responses (902 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Arabidopsis, Gibberellin, Botany, Arabidopsis thaliana and Mutant. His Arabidopsis research incorporates themes from Hypocotyl and Signal transduction, Cell biology. His study explores the link between Gibberellin and topics such as Repressor that cross with problems in Dwarfism.

In general Botany study, his work on Shoot and Meristem often relates to the realm of Elongation and Cell division, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His Arabidopsis thaliana study also includes

  • Gibberellic acid that intertwine with fields like Chrysanthemum morifolium,
  • Function together with Physcomitrella patens. His Mutant study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Endogeny and Germination.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Arabidopsis (70.00%)
  • Gibberellin (46.67%)
  • Botany (43.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Genetics (34.44%)
  • Gene (25.56%)
  • Crop (8.89%)

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

Nicholas P. Harberd spends much of his time researching Genetics, Gene, Crop, Arabidopsis and Agronomy. His research in the fields of Genome and Arabidopsis thaliana overlaps with other disciplines such as Missing data and Identity. The concepts of his Crop study are interwoven with issues in Quantitative trait locus and Shoot, Botany.

His Arabidopsis research includes themes of Regulation of gene expression, Transcription factor and Signal transduction, Cell biology. His study in Regulation of gene expression is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Transcriptional regulation, Germination, Mutant, Ferritin and Seedling. Nicholas P. Harberd has included themes like Gibberellin and Chromatin, Histone H3 in his Cell biology study.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Shoot-to-Root Mobile Transcription Factor HY5 Coordinates Plant Carbon and Nitrogen Acquisition (198 citations)
  • Modulating plant growth-metabolism coordination for sustainable agriculture (135 citations)
  • The regulatory roles of ethylene and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plant salt stress responses. (85 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Nitrogen cycle, Green Revolution, Signal transduction, Arabidopsis and Nitrate are his primary areas of study. His Green Revolution research incorporates a variety of disciplines, including Histone H3, Transcription factor, Gibberellin, Chromatin and Cell biology. His Signal transduction study combines topics in areas such as Plant physiology, Reactive oxygen species, Transduction and Soil salinity.

His study with Arabidopsis involves better knowledge in Genetics. His work deals with themes such as Gene, Allele and Botany, which intersect with Nitrate. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Oryza sativa and Sucrose.
