Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Agronomy
  • Horticulture

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Dry matter, Canola, Botany and Shoot. His work carried out in the field of Agronomy brings together such families of science as Soil water, Plant nutrition and Horticulture. His work focuses on many connections between Dry matter and other disciplines, such as Sowing, that overlap with his field of interest in Cropping system and Anthesis.

His studies deal with areas such as Brassica, Fertilizer and Crop as well as Canola. Many of his research projects under Botany are closely connected to Composition, Tree tobacco and Nicotiana with Composition, Tree tobacco and Nicotiana, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His Shoot research integrates issues from Lupinus, Root system and Hordeum vulgare.

His most cited work include:

  • Plant mechanisms to optimise access to soil phosphorus (279 citations)
  • Effect of phosphorus supply on the formation and function of proteoid roots of white lupin (Lupinus albus L.) (257 citations)
  • Mobilization of Minerals to Developing Seeds of Legumes (196 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Horticulture, Dry matter, Botany and Sunflower. His Agronomy study focuses mostly on Anthesis, Fertilizer, Sowing, Canola and Crop. His Horticulture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Phosphatase, Plant nutrition and Soil fertility.

The Dry matter study combines topics in areas such as Noxious weed, Weed, Xanthium and Shoot. His work in the fields of Botany, such as Lupinus, Phloem, Xylem and Terrestrial plant, overlaps with other areas such as Posidonia australis. In general Sunflower, his work in Helianthus annuus is often linked to Fertilisation and Pollination linking many areas of study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (67.86%)
  • Horticulture (37.50%)
  • Dry matter (33.93%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2014)?

  • Agronomy (67.86%)
  • Poaceae (7.14%)
  • Horticulture (37.50%)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Poaceae, Horticulture, Plant nutrition and Soil water. Specifically, his work in Agronomy is concerned with the study of Sowing. His Hordeum vulgare study, which is part of a larger body of work in Poaceae, is frequently linked to Root hair, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His work carried out in the field of Horticulture brings together such families of science as Plant ecology and Phosphatase, Phosphomonoesterase. The Soil organic matter research Peter J. Hocking does as part of his general Soil water study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Lime, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His Soil fertility research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cultivar, Fertilizer, Cover crop, Crop yield and Organic farming.

Between 2003 and 2014, his most popular works were:

  • Plant mechanisms to optimise access to soil phosphorus (279 citations)
  • Transgenic barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) expressing the wheat aluminium resistance gene (TaALMT1) shows enhanced phosphorus nutrition and grain production when grown on an acid soil. (120 citations)
  • Variation in root-associated phosphatase activities in wheat contributes to the utilization of organic P substrates in vitro, but does not explain differences in the P-nutrition of plants when grown in soils (73 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Agronomy
  • Horticulture

Peter J. Hocking spends much of his time researching Poaceae, Horticulture, Agronomy, Plant nutrition and Phytic acid. His Poaceae study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Phytotoxicity and Shoot. His Horticulture study combines topics in areas such as Soil organic matter, Soil water, Soil fertility and Organic farming.

His Phytic acid study deals with the bigger picture of Botany.
