Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Arabidopsis, Meristem, Leafy and Shoot. His Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Plant hormone, Genome evolution and Genome size. His Arabidopsis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Gibberellin and Genome, Whole genome sequencing, Genomics.

The concepts of his Gibberellin study are interwoven with issues in Mutant and Gene. Gene is a subfield of Genetics that he studies. As part of one scientific family, Ove Nilsson deals mainly with the area of Meristem, narrowing it down to issues related to the ABC model of flower development, and often Genetically modified crops.

His most cited work include:

  • The Norway spruce genome sequence and conifer genome evolution. (959 citations)
  • CO/FT Regulatory Module Controls Timing of Flowering and Seasonal Growth Cessation in Trees (800 citations)
  • A developmental switch sufficient for flower initiation in diverse plants (705 citations)

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

His main research concerns Botany, Arabidopsis, Gene, Genetics and Meristem. His Botany study combines topics in areas such as Genetically modified crops and Agrobacterium. The various areas that Ove Nilsson examines in his Arabidopsis study include Arabidopsis thaliana, Leafy, Transcription factor, Cell biology and Regulation of gene expression.

His Leafy study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as ABC model of flower development. His Gene study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Stamen. In general Meristem study, his work on Vascular cambium often relates to the realm of Cell division, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (43.59%)
  • Arabidopsis (42.31%)
  • Gene (34.62%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Cell biology (16.67%)
  • Botany (43.59%)
  • Arabidopsis (42.31%)

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

Ove Nilsson mainly focuses on Cell biology, Botany, Arabidopsis, photoperiodism and RNA interference. His research integrates issues of Gene expression and Meristem in his study of Cell biology. His Meristem study incorporates themes from Transcription factor, Post-transcriptional regulation, Regulator, Inflorescence and Leafy.

Botany is often connected to Monolignol in his work. His study ties his expertise on Regulon together with the subject of Arabidopsis. The photoperiodism study which covers Shade avoidance that intersects with Shoot.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A major locus controls local adaptation and adaptive life history variation in a perennial plant. (34 citations)
  • GIGANTEA-like genes control seasonal growth cessation in Populus. (28 citations)
  • Autumn senescence in aspen is not triggered by day length. (23 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

Ove Nilsson mostly deals with Gene, Mechanism, photoperiodism, Woody plant and Senescence. His Gene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Dormancy and Cell biology. Mechanism is connected with Botany and Day length in his research.
