  • 1986 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
  • 1983 - Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences
  • 1979 - Member of the National Academy of Sciences

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Photosynthesis
  • Botany
  • Ecology

Olle Björkman spends much of his time researching Photosynthesis, Botany, Photoinhibition, Chlorophyll fluorescence and Xanthophyll. His work carried out in the field of Photosynthesis brings together such families of science as Biophysics and Woody plant. The concepts of his Biophysics study are interwoven with issues in Biochemistry and Energy quenching.

His study in Botany is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Adaptation and Horticulture. His Photoinhibition research includes themes of Photochemistry, Chloroplast and Darkness. As a part of the same scientific study, Olle Björkman usually deals with the Xanthophyll, concentrating on Zeaxanthin and frequently concerns with Quenching and Photoprotection.

His most cited work include:

  • Photosynthetic Response and Adaptation to Temperature in Higher Plants (2294 citations)
  • Photon yield of O2 evolution and chlorophyll fluorescence characteristics at 77 K among vascular plants of diverse origins. (1948 citations)
  • A pigment-binding protein essential for regulation of photosynthetic light harvesting (1208 citations)

  • Xanthophyll (32.31%)
  • Photosynthesis (69.23%)
  • Violaxanthin (26.15%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Xanthophyll, Photosynthesis, Violaxanthin, Chlorophyll fluorescence and Biochemistry. His Xanthophyll study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Antheraxanthin, Zeaxanthin, Biophysics and Quenching. His research investigates the connection with Biophysics and areas like Non-photochemical quenching which intersect with concerns in Energy quenching.

His study in the field of Transpiration also crosses realms of Light intensity. Olle Björkman has included themes like Photochemistry, Energy charge and Neoxanthin in his Violaxanthin study. His study explores the link between Chlorophyll fluorescence and topics such as Lutein that cross with problems in Photoprotection.

Between 1991 and 2012, his most popular works were:

  • A pigment-binding protein essential for regulation of photosynthetic light harvesting (1208 citations)
  • Arabidopsis mutants define a central role for the xanthophyll cycle in the regulation of photosynthetic energy conversion. (797 citations)
  • The roles of specific xanthophylls in photoprotection (441 citations)

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

  • Photosynthesis
  • Botany
  • Ecology

His primary areas of study are Xanthophyll, Antheraxanthin, Zeaxanthin, Biochemistry and Biophysics. His research on Xanthophyll is centered around Botany and Photosynthesis. His Photosynthesis research integrates issues from Seawater and Salinity.

His Antheraxanthin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Violaxanthin and Chlorophyll fluorescence. His Chlorophyll fluorescence research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Lutein and Chlamydomonas. His Biophysics research focuses on subjects like Quenching, which are linked to Photoprotection.
