Robert Turgeon

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Botany
• Gene
• DNA

Robert Turgeon spends much of his time researching Phloem, Botany, Plasmodesma, Cell biology and Biophysics. His study in Phloem is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biochemistry and Symplast, Apoplast. Photosynthesis is the focus of his Botany research.

His Plasmodesma study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Vascular bundle, Sieve tube element, Nicotiana tabacum and Organelle biogenesis. In the subject of general Cell biology, his work in Cytoplasm is often linked to Sieve, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His work carried out in the field of Biophysics brings together such families of science as Ultrastructure, Phloem loading, Pressure Flow Hypothesis and Xylem.

His most cited work include:

• The developmental dynamics of the maize leaf transcriptome (568 citations)
• The Sink-Source Transition in Leaves (374 citations)
• Phloem Transport: Cellular Pathways and Molecular Trafficking (322 citations)

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

Robert Turgeon mainly investigates Phloem, Botany, Plasmodesma, Apoplast and Sucrose. His Phloem study incorporates themes from Raffinose, Photoassimilate, Vascular bundle, Biophysics and Biochemistry. His study in Nicotiana tabacum extends to Botany with its themes.

His studies in Plasmodesma integrate themes in fields like Flux, Sieve tube element and Phloem transport. His Apoplast study combines topics in areas such as Plasmolysis and Efflux. His work in Sucrose tackles topics such as Sugar which are related to areas like Phaseolus and Turgor pressure.

He most often published in these fields:

• Phloem (71.84%)
• Botany (57.28%)
• Plasmodesma (30.10%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

• Photosynthesis (19.42%)
• Botany (57.28%)

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

His main research concerns Phloem, Photosynthesis, Botany, Xylem and Sieve tube element. His Phloem research integrates issues from Sugar, Biophysics, Arabidopsis and Cell biology. His Biophysics research includes themes of Phloem loading, Sucrose and Plasmodesma.

Robert Turgeon has researched Plasmodesma in several fields, including Amino acid, Stachyose and Apoplast. His research in Photosynthesis intersects with topics in Shoot and Metabolic pathway. In the field of Botany, his study on Pressure Flow Hypothesis and Chlorophyll fluorescence overlaps with subjects such as Sink and Heterotroph.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Towards an understanding of the molecular basis of effective RNAi against a global insect pest, the whitefly Bemisia tabaci. (45 citations)
• Phloem Loading through Plasmodesmata: A Biophysical Analysis. (35 citations)
• Elucidation of the Mechanisms of Long-Distance mRNA Movement in a Nicotiana benthamiana/Tomato Heterograft System (32 citations)

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

• Botany
• Gene
• DNA

Robert Turgeon mostly deals with Phloem, Biophysics, Photosynthesis, Plasmodesma and Phloem loading. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Solanum, Transgene, Nicotiana benthamiana, RNA and Messenger RNA. His Photosynthesis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Osmotic pressure, Sieve tube element and Xylem.

The concepts of his Plasmodesma study are interwoven with issues in Amino acid, Apoplast and Sucrose. His Phloem loading research incorporates elements of Stachyose and Raffinose.
