- Botany (19.21%)
- Flaveria (22.52%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His scientific interests lie mostly in Gene, Botany, Flaveria, Vascular bundle and Genetics.
His Gene research is classified as research in Biochemistry.
The Plant composition and Seedling research Peter Westhoff does as part of his general Botany study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Library science and Political science, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
His work carried out in the field of Flaveria brings together such families of science as Evolutionary biology, Photorespiration, Genus and Sequence analysis.
He has included themes like Mutation, Reporter gene, Anatomy and Cell biology in his Vascular bundle study.
His work on Protein biosynthesis, Translation and Locus as part of general Genetics research is frequently linked to Selective sweep, bridging the gap between disciplines.
Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Predicting C4 Photosynthesis Evolution: Modular, Individually Adaptive Steps on a Mount Fuji Fitness Landscape (116 citations)
- The role of photorespiration during the evolution of C4 photosynthesis in the genus Flaveria (103 citations)
- Evolution of C4 Photosynthesis in the Genus Flaveria: Establishment of a Photorespiratory CO2 Pump (54 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Peter Westhoff mostly deals with Botany, Chloroplast, Photorespiration, Flaveria and Photosynthesis.
His research on Botany often connects related topics like Regulation of gene expression.
His Chloroplast study introduces a deeper knowledge of Gene.
As a part of the same scientific family, Peter Westhoff mostly works in the field of Photorespiration, focusing on C4 photosynthesis and, on occasion, Oxygenase, Pyruvate carboxylase, Carbon fixation, Convergent evolution and Anaplerotic reactions.
His studies deal with areas such as Evolutionary biology, Flux balance analysis and Genus as well as Flaveria.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Photosynthesis, Photosynthetic capacity, Photosynthetic efficiency, Shoot and Transpiration is strongly linked to Vascular bundle.
