Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Gibberellin, Mutant, Biochemistry, Arabidopsis and Gene. His Gibberellin research entails a greater understanding of Botany. Peter Hedden combines subjects such as Complementary DNA, Gibberella fujikuroi and Bolting with his study of Mutant.

His Arabidopsis research integrates issues from Arabidopsis thaliana, Transcription factor, Gene expression and Meristem. His Gene study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Genetics. The various areas that Peter Hedden examines in his Cell biology study include Regulation of gene expression and Repressor.

His most cited work include:

  • Gibberellin metabolism: new insights revealed by the genes. (777 citations)
  • The genes of the Green Revolution. (700 citations)
  • Genetic Characterization and Functional Analysis of the GID1 Gibberellin Receptors in Arabidopsis (552 citations)

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

Peter Hedden mostly deals with Gibberellin, Biochemistry, Botany, Gene and Mutant. His study in Gibberellin is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Arabidopsis thaliana, Arabidopsis, Shoot and Cell biology. His Biochemistry research focuses on subjects like Gibberella fujikuroi, which are linked to Gene cluster and Gibberella.

His studies examine the connections between Botany and genetics, as well as such issues in Solanaceae, with regards to Abscisic acid. His Gene study is associated with Genetics. His Mutant study incorporates themes from Complementary DNA and Mutation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Gibberellin (66.24%)
  • Biochemistry (38.46%)
  • Botany (34.62%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Gibberellin (66.24%)
  • Biochemistry (38.46%)
  • Arabidopsis (16.24%)

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

Peter Hedden mainly investigates Gibberellin, Biochemistry, Arabidopsis, Botany and Arabidopsis thaliana. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Hormone, Abscisic acid, Germination and Cell biology. His Biosynthesis, Oxidase test, Receptor and Ubiquitin study, which is part of a larger body of work in Biochemistry, is frequently linked to Growth promotion, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His work investigates the relationship between Arabidopsis and topics such as Stamen that intersect with problems in Genetic model and Inflorescence. His work in the fields of Sterility overlaps with other areas such as Obligate parasite. His Arabidopsis thaliana study deals with the bigger picture of Mutant.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The role of gibberellin signalling in plant responses to abiotic stress (427 citations)
  • A century of gibberellin research (188 citations)
  • Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier Protein SUMO Enables Plants to Control Growth Independently of the Phytohormone Gibberellin (100 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Enzyme

His primary areas of investigation include Gibberellin, Botany, Biochemistry, Arabidopsis and Arabidopsis thaliana. Peter Hedden undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Gibberellin and Growth promotion through his research. His Biosynthesis, Operon and Gene cluster study in the realm of Biochemistry connects with subjects such as Sinorhizobium.

His Arabidopsis research incorporates elements of Catabolism, Oxidase test, Auxin and Root hair. Arabidopsis thaliana is a subfield of Mutant that Peter Hedden studies. His work in the fields of Cell biology, such as Signalling, intersects with other areas such as Adverse conditions.
