Overview

Ondřej Novák is affiliated with the Czech Academy of Sciences in the Czech Republic. Their research primarily focuses on the fields of Agricultural and Biological Sciences as well as Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology. Within these broader fields, they have contributed extensively to subfields including Plant Science, Molecular Biology, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, and Insect Science.

The scientist's work covers a range of main topics related to plant biology, including Plant Molecular Biology Research, Plant Reproductive Biology, Plant Stress Responses and Tolerance, Plant nutrient uptake and metabolism, Photosynthetic Processes and Mechanisms, Plant Parasitism and Resistance, and Plant-Microbe Interactions and Immunity.

Recent papers by Ondřej Novák demonstrate a focus on plant physiology and molecular regulation. Notable publications include:

  • A novel strigolactone-miR156 module controls stomatal behaviour during drought recovery (2020), Plant Cell & Environment
  • Salicylic Acid Targets Protein Phosphatase 2A to Attenuate Growth in Plants (2020), Current Biology
  • PIF7 is a master regulator of thermomorphogenesis in shade (2022), Nature Communications
  • Cytokinin fluoroprobe reveals multiple sites of cytokinin perception at plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum (2020), Nature Communications
  • SEEDSTICK Controls Arabidopsis Fruit Size by Regulating Cytokinin Levels and FRUITFULL (2020), Cell Reports

Ondřej Novák has collaborated frequently with several researchers, including Miroslav Strnad and Aleš Pěnčík, both with whom they have co-authored 57 publications each. Other frequent collaborators include Ivan Petřík, Karin Ljung, and Karel Doležal.

Their work has appeared primarily in journals and publication venues that include bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Frontiers in Plant Science, Journal of Experimental Botany, Plants, and International Journal of Molecular Sciences.
