Overview

Richard W. Scott is affiliated with the Fox Chase Cancer Center in the United States. Their research spans across Environmental Science, Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, and Agricultural and Biological Sciences. The subfields in which they have contributed include Biochemistry, Global and Planetary Change, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, Plant Science, and Agronomy and Crop Science.

Their work focuses on several main topics including lipid metabolism and biosynthesis, plant water relations and carbon dynamics, plant responses to elevated CO2, bioenergy crop production and management, psychological well-being and life satisfaction, climate change and health impacts, and health, psychology, and well-being.

Frequently collaborating with other researchers, Richard W. Scott has co-authored papers with Luke J. Cooney, Zac Beechey-Gradwell, Somrutai Winichayakul, Kim Richardson, and Tracey Crowther.

Their recent publications include the following papers:

  • Changes in Leaf-Level Nitrogen Partitioning and Mesophyll Conductance Deliver Increased Photosynthesis for Lolium perenne Leaves Engineered to Accumulate Lipid Carbon Sinks (2021, Frontiers in Plant Science)
  • Lolium perenne engineered for elevated leaf lipids exhibits greater energy density in field canopies under defoliation (2021, Field Crops Research)
  • Wise Ancestors, Good Ancestors: Why Mindfulness Matters in the Promotion of Planetary Health (2021, Challenges)
  • Epichloë fungal endophyte interactions in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) modified to accumulate foliar lipids for increased energy density (2023, BMC Plant Biology)
  • The Earthrise Community: Transforming Planetary Consciousness for a Flourishing Future (2025, Challenges)

One of the prominent venues for their research publications is the journal Challenges, alongside Frontiers in Plant Science, Field Crops Research, BMC Plant Biology, and Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology.
