Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Symbiosis, Arbuscular mycorrhiza, Mycorrhiza and Shoot. His primary area of study in Botany is in the field of Hypha. His Hypha study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Brassinosteroid and Apoplast.

His Symbiosis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Terrestrial plant, Host, Gene expression and Colonization. His work deals with themes such as Glomus and Glomeromycota, which intersect with Arbuscular mycorrhiza. His Shoot research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Endophyte and Vegetative reproduction.

His most cited work include:

  • The transcriptome of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices (DAOM 197198) reveals functional tradeoffs in an obligate symbiont (259 citations)
  • Overlapping expression patterns and differential transcript levels of phosphate transporter genes in arbuscular mycorrhizal, Pi-fertilised and phytohormone-treated Medicago truncatula roots. (88 citations)
  • The H+-ATPase HA1 of Medicago truncatula Is Essential for Phosphate Transport and Plant Growth during Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis (83 citations)

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

Philipp Franken mostly deals with Botany, Symbiosis, Arbuscular mycorrhiza, Mycorrhiza and Shoot. The various areas that Philipp Franken examines in his Botany study include Rhizophagus irregularis, Medicago truncatula and Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. His Symbiosis research also works with subjects such as

  • Nutrient and related Agronomy,
  • Colonisation which is related to area like Solanaceae.

His Arbuscular mycorrhiza study incorporates themes from Soil structure and Horticulture. The concepts of his Mycorrhiza study are interwoven with issues in Glomus, Gene, Brassinosteroid and Arbuscular mycorrhizal. His work carried out in the field of Shoot brings together such families of science as Endophyte, Piriformospora and Cutting.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (74.47%)
  • Symbiosis (32.98%)
  • Arbuscular mycorrhiza (31.91%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2020)?

  • Botany (74.47%)
  • Arbuscular mycorrhiza (31.91%)
  • Symbiosis (32.98%)

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

Philipp Franken spends much of his time researching Botany, Arbuscular mycorrhiza, Symbiosis, Horticulture and Shoot. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Salicylic acid, Mycorrhiza and Phosphate. Philipp Franken combines subjects such as Soil structure, Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense, Soil contamination and Endophyte with his study of Arbuscular mycorrhiza.

Philipp Franken has included themes like Assimilation, Arabidopsis, Nutrient and Nicotiana tabacum in his Symbiosis study. His Horticulture research integrates issues from Rhizophagus irregularis, Moisture stress, Fungus and Stomatal conductance. The Shoot study which covers Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi that intersects with Crop and New crop.

Between 2017 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Molecular and physiological control of adventitious rooting in cuttings: phytohormone action meets resource allocation (44 citations)
  • Unraveling the Initial Plant Hormone Signaling, Metabolic Mechanisms and Plant Defense Triggering the Endomycorrhizal Symbiosis Behavior (29 citations)
  • Arbuscular Mycorrhizas: A Promising Component of Plant Production Systems Provided Favorable Conditions for Their Growth. (25 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Enzyme

Nutrient, Arbuscular mycorrhiza, Symbiosis, Soil structure and Rhizophagus irregularis are his primary areas of study. His research integrates issues of Shoot and Botany in his study of Nutrient. His Botany study frequently links to other fields, such as Dark septate endophyte.

In Arbuscular mycorrhiza, he works on issues like Horticulture, which are connected to Water potential, Mycorrhiza, Field capacity and Soil water. His Symbiosis research incorporates themes from Axenic, Obligate, Assimilation, Plant defense against herbivory and Abiotic component. His studies deal with areas such as New crop, Crop, Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and Ocimum as well as Rhizophagus irregularis.
