Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Genetics

Botany, Arabidopsis, Phototropism, Cell biology and Phytochrome are his primary areas of study. His Botany study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Embryonic stem cell and Auxin. Arabidopsis connects with themes related to Hypocotyl in his study.

Roger P. Hangarter has included themes like Gravitropism, Phototropin, Cumulative effects and Phytochrome A in his Phototropism study. His Cell biology research integrates issues from Genetics, Oophila, Green algae, Algae and Mutant. His Phytochrome study combines topics in areas such as Biophysics, Arabidopsis thaliana and Cryptochrome.

His most cited work include:

  • Auxin Transport Is Required for Hypocotyl Elongation in Light-Grown but Not Dark-Grown Arabidopsis (249 citations)
  • The Arabidopsis ELF3 gene regulates vegetative photomorphogenesis and the photoperiodic induction of flowering (198 citations)
  • Gravity, light and plant form (178 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Arabidopsis, Phytochrome, Arabidopsis thaliana and Mutant. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Biophysics, Chloroplast and Blue light. His Arabidopsis study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Phototropism, Auxin, Hypocotyl and Cell biology.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Genetics, Plastid and Seedling in addition to Cell biology. In his work, Transcription factor is strongly intertwined with Phytochrome A, which is a subfield of Phytochrome. His Mutant research incorporates elements of Mutation, photoperiodism and Meristem.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (51.95%)
  • Arabidopsis (51.95%)
  • Phytochrome (37.66%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Botany (51.95%)
  • Arabidopsis (51.95%)
  • Chloroplast (18.18%)

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

Roger P. Hangarter focuses on Botany, Arabidopsis, Chloroplast, Cell biology and Arabidopsis thaliana. His Arabidopsis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biophysics and Auxin. His Auxin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Gravitropism, Lateral root and Auxin efflux.

His studies in Chloroplast integrate themes in fields like Abscisic acid and Chlorophyll a. The Cell biology study which covers Plastid that intersects with Seedling and Chloroplast localization. As part of his studies on Arabidopsis thaliana, Roger P. Hangarter often connects relevant areas like Phototropism.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Intracellular invasion of green algae in a salamander host (83 citations)
  • D6PK AGCVIII Kinases Are Required for Auxin Transport and Phototropic Hypocotyl Bending in Arabidopsis (82 citations)
  • Changes in leaf optical properties associated with light‐dependent chloroplast movements (64 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Genetics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cell biology, Botany, Ultrastructure, MDia1 and Phototropin. His study of Chlorophyll a is a part of Botany. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Green algae, Oophila, Algae and Embryonic stem cell.

His research integrates issues of Arp2/3 complex, Actin remodeling and Actin remodeling of neurons in his study of MDia1.
