  • Drought-induced changes in nitrogen partitioning between cyanide and nitrate in leaves and stems of sorghum grown at elevated CO2 are age dependent (23 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Carbon dioxide

R. L. LaMorte mostly deals with Agronomy, Drought tolerance, Carbon dioxide, Straw and Animal nutrition. The concepts of his Drought tolerance study are interwoven with issues in Nitrate and Root system. His studies deal with areas such as Silage and Sorghum, Sweet sorghum as well as Nitrate.

His Root system research includes elements of Stomatal conductance, Evapotranspiration, Shoot, Poaceae and Transpiration. There are a combination of areas like Composition and Chemical composition integrated together with his Straw study. R. L. LaMorte integrates Dhurrin and Cyanide in his research.
