Peter J. Franks

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Botany
• Ecology
• Photosynthesis

Peter J. Franks focuses on Transpiration, Stomatal conductance, Botany, Horticulture and Photosynthesis. His Stomatal conductance research integrates issues from Ecology, Climate change, Herbaceous plant and Water-use efficiency. His work on Guard cell and Shoot as part of general Botany study is frequently connected to Plant Stomata, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His Guard cell research incorporates elements of Stomatal aperture and Biophysics, Turgor pressure. The various areas that Peter J. Franks examines in his Horticulture study include Rainforest, Temperate climate and Liana. The Atmospheric sciences study combines topics in areas such as Eucalyptus gomphocephala and Xylem.

His most cited work include:

• Maximum leaf conductance driven by CO2 effects on stomatal size and density over geologic time (471 citations)
• The Mechanical Diversity of Stomata and Its Significance in Gas-Exchange Control (347 citations)
• Smaller, faster stomata: scaling of stomatal size, rate of response, and stomatal conductance (255 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Stomatal conductance, Transpiration, Ecology and Guard cell. His Botany research includes elements of Atmospheric sciences and Horticulture. His work deals with themes such as Stomatal density, Carbon dioxide, Agronomy and Water-use efficiency, which intersect with Stomatal conductance.

His study in the field of Stomatal aperture also crosses realms of Plant Stomata. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Ecology, focusing on Evolutionary developmental biology and, on occasion, Function. His Guard cell research includes elements of Osmotic pressure and Turgor pressure.

He most often published in these fields:

• Botany (80.00%)
• Stomatal conductance (48.57%)
• Transpiration (48.57%)

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

• Botany (80.00%)
• Ecology (42.86%)
• Atmospheric sciences (22.86%)

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

His main research concerns Botany, Ecology, Atmospheric sciences, Stomatal conductance and Fern. The various areas that Peter J. Franks examines in his Botany study include Habitat and Cretaceous. His work in the fields of Ecology, such as Carbon uptake, intersects with other areas such as New crop, Gradual progression and Molecular evolution.

His study in Stomatal conductance is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Photosynthetic capacity, Agronomy and Transpiration. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Hydraulic conductivity and Diurnal cycle. His work in the fields of Nephrolepis exaltata overlaps with other areas such as Azolla filiculoides, Conserved sequence, Hordeum vulgare and Polystichum proliferum.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Increasing water‐use efficiency directly through genetic manipulation of stomatal density (145 citations)
• Molecular Evolution of Grass Stomata. (91 citations)
• Evolutionary Conservation of ABA Signaling for Stomatal Closure (79 citations)

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

• Botany
• Ecology
• Photosynthesis

Peter J. Franks mostly deals with Botany, Stomatal conductance, Guard cell, Ecology and Photosynthesis. His research in the fields of Fern and Nephrolepis exaltata overlaps with other disciplines such as Azolla filiculoides, Conserved sequence and Hordeum vulgare. The study incorporates disciplines such as Plant morphology, Allometry and Transpiration in addition to Stomatal conductance.

Cell biology covers he research in Guard cell. As part of his studies on Ecology, Peter J. Franks frequently links adjacent subjects like Evolutionary developmental biology. In general Photosynthesis, his work in Photosynthetic capacity, Stomatal density and Water-use efficiency is often linked to Groundwater resources linking many areas of study.
