The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

His primary areas of investigation include Biochemistry, Arabidopsis, Botany, Metabolism and Arabidopsis thaliana. His study on Solanaceae is often connected to Genetically modified tomato as part of broader study in Biochemistry. His Arabidopsis research focuses on Darkness and how it connects with Biophysics and Protein degradation.

Ronan Sulpice combines subjects such as Gene, Horticulture and Gene expression profiling with his study of Botany. His Metabolism research includes themes of Photosynthesis, Photorespiration, Enzyme assay, Plant physiology and Metabolite. The various areas that Ronan Sulpice examines in his Arabidopsis thaliana study include Transcriptome, Circadian clock and Metabolomics.

His most cited work include:

  • Genomic and metabolic prediction of complex heterotic traits in hybrid maize (390 citations)
  • Starch as a major integrator in the regulation of plant growth (385 citations)
  • Arabidopsis Plants Acclimate to Water Deficit at Low Cost through Changes of Carbon Usage: An Integrated Perspective Using Growth, Metabolite, Enzyme, and Gene Expression Analysis (295 citations)

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

Ronan Sulpice spends much of his time researching Botany, Biochemistry, Arabidopsis, Arabidopsis thaliana and Photosynthesis. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biomass, Phenotype, Circadian clock and Starch. Ronan Sulpice interconnects Darkness, Transcriptome, Quantitative trait locus and Protein biosynthesis in the investigation of issues within Arabidopsis.

Ronan Sulpice has included themes like Secondary metabolism and Cold acclimation in his Arabidopsis thaliana study. He works mostly in the field of Photosynthesis, limiting it down to topics relating to Sucrose and, in certain cases, Carbohydrate, as a part of the same area of interest. His Metabolism research includes elements of Amino acid, Nitrogen assimilation, Function, Plant physiology and Metabolite.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (39.67%)
  • Biochemistry (33.06%)
  • Arabidopsis (32.23%)

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

  • Sucrose (14.05%)
  • Botany (39.67%)
  • Metabolism (19.83%)

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

Ronan Sulpice mainly investigates Sucrose, Botany, Metabolism, Starch and Sea lettuce. His studies deal with areas such as Photosynthesis and Metabolite as well as Sucrose. In his study, Carbon source and Carbohydrate is inextricably linked to Fructan, which falls within the broad field of Photosynthesis.

The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Biomass, Arabidopsis thaliana, Arabidopsis and Gene expression. His work deals with themes such as Cultivar, Horticulture and Cell biology, which intersect with Metabolism. Ronan Sulpice conducted interdisciplinary study in his works that combined Starch and Light intensity.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Capsaicinoids: Pungency beyond Capsicum (34 citations)
  • Multiple circadian clock outputs regulate diel turnover of carbon and nitrogen reserves (15 citations)
  • Extensive Variations in Diurnal Growth Patterns and Metabolism Among Ulva spp. Strains (12 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

His main research concerns Biomass, Botany, Sucrose, Sea lettuce and Photosynthesis. The concepts of his Biomass study are interwoven with issues in Seasonality, Metabolite, Nitrate, Ecosystem and Nutrient. His Botany study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Range.

He has researched Sucrose in several fields, including Starch, TOC1, Circadian clock, Cell biology and Metabolism. His Sea lettuce study spans across into fields like Ecophysiology, Eutrophication, Abundance, Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture and Lipidome. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Capsicum chinense and Cultivar, Sympodial, Horticulture.
