Ronald Pierik

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Botany
• Ecology
• Gene

His primary areas of study are Shade avoidance, Botany, Phytochrome, Arabidopsis and Cell biology. His Shade avoidance study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ecology and Auxin. Shoot, Gibberellin and Petiole are among the areas of Botany where the researcher is concentrating his efforts.

As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Shoot, concentrating on Photosynthesis and frequently concerns with Aerenchyma, Terrestrial plant and Aerenchyma formation. His Arabidopsis research integrates issues from Arabidopsis thaliana and Jasmonic acid. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Mutant and Seedling.

His most cited work include:

• How plants cope with complete submergence. (409 citations)
• The Janus face of ethylene: growth inhibition and stimulation (333 citations)
• Reaching out of the shade. (201 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Shade avoidance, Arabidopsis, Phytochrome and Arabidopsis thaliana. His work on Petiole, Shoot, Gibberellin and Photosynthesis as part of general Botany study is frequently connected to Rumex palustris, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His Shoot research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Phenotypic trait and Plant physiology.

The various areas that Ronald Pierik examines in his Shade avoidance study include Ecology, Competition, Phenotypic plasticity and Auxin. His research integrates issues of Hypocotyl, Regulation of gene expression, Transcriptome and Cell biology in his study of Arabidopsis. His Arabidopsis thaliana research includes themes of Xyloglucan endotransglucosylase, Biophysics and Rosette.

He most often published in these fields:

• Botany (59.46%)
• Shade avoidance (57.66%)
• Arabidopsis (31.53%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

• Shade avoidance (57.66%)
• Phytochrome (30.63%)
• Cell biology (23.42%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Shade avoidance, Phytochrome, Cell biology, Far-red and Cryptochrome. Ronald Pierik is exploring Shade avoidance as part of his Arabidopsis and Arabidopsis thaliana and Shade avoidance studies. Ronald Pierik has included themes like RNA and Messenger RNA in his Arabidopsis study.

Ronald Pierik performs multidisciplinary study in Phytochrome and Jasmonate in his work. In Cell biology, Ronald Pierik works on issues like Auxin, which are connected to Kinase, Brassinosteroid and Abscisic acid. His studies in Shoot integrate themes in fields like Lateral root, Biophysics, Nitrate and Root system.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Far-red radiation increases dry mass partitioning to fruits but reduces Botrytis cinerea resistance in tomato (20 citations)
• Soil Salinity Limits Plant Shade Avoidance (18 citations)
• The bHLH network underlying plant shade‐avoidance (10 citations)

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

• Botany
• Gene
• Ecology

Ronald Pierik mostly deals with Shade avoidance, Transcription factor, Phytochrome, Function and Botrytis cinerea. His Shade avoidance research is included under the broader classification of Arabidopsis. His work in the fields of Arabidopsis Proteins overlaps with other areas such as Future studies.

Ronald Pierik combines subjects such as Sugar, Methyl jasmonate and Jasmonate with his study of Jasmonic acid. Ronald Pierik has researched Kinase in several fields, including Abscisic acid, Brassinosteroid and Auxin. His work in the fields of Canopy, Vegetation and Competition overlaps with other areas such as Psychological resilience.
