Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Her primary areas of investigation include Gene, Botany, Genetics, Pollen and Arabidopsis. Her research on Botany focuses in particular on Cultivar. Sheila McCormick studies Genetics, namely Promoter.

Her work in Pollen tube and Gametophyte is related to Pollen. Her Pollen tube research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Germination and Cell biology. She combines subjects such as Arabidopsis thaliana and Alternative splicing with her study of Arabidopsis.

Her most cited work include:

  • Insect Tolerant Transgenic Tomato Plants (511 citations)
  • Insect Tolerant Transgenic Tomato Plants (511 citations)
  • Leaf disc transformation of cultivated tomato (L. esculentum) using Agrobacterium tumefaciens. (505 citations)

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

Sheila McCormick spends much of her time researching Pollen, Pollen tube, Genetics, Cell biology and Botany. She interconnects Extracellular and Germination in the investigation of issues within Pollen. Her Pollen tube research includes elements of Arabidopsis thaliana, Gametophyte, Arabidopsis and Biochemistry, Kinase.

In general Genetics, her work in Gene, Sperm and RNA is often linked to Gametogenesis linking many areas of study. Her Molecular biology research extends to Gene, which is thematically connected. Her Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Genetically modified tomato and Solanaceae.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Pollen (40.00%)
  • Pollen tube (38.00%)
  • Genetics (35.33%)

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

  • Cell biology (32.67%)
  • Biochemistry (14.67%)
  • Botany (32.00%)

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

Sheila McCormick focuses on Cell biology, Biochemistry, Botany, Arabidopsis and Evolutionary biology. Her Cell biology research integrates issues from Pollen tube, Cellular differentiation and Small interfering RNA. Her work is dedicated to discovering how Pollen tube, Guanine nucleotide exchange factor are connected with Pollen and other disciplines.

Her study ties her expertise on Arbuscular mycorrhizal together with the subject of Botany. Her Arabidopsis research incorporates elements of Germline, Transcription factor, Embryo and Cell polarity. Her Genome research is under the purview of Genetics.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Rhizobial strain-dependent restriction of nitrogen fixation in a legume-Rhizobium symbiosis. (5 citations)
  • RNA‐directed DNA methylation and seed development: an unexpected difference between Arabidopsis thaliana and Brassica rapa (4 citations)
  • Gametophytic Self‐Incompatibility Is Operative in Miscanthus sinensis (Poaceae) and Is Affected by Pistil Age (4 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Evolutionary biology, RNA, Botany, Physcomitrella patens and Computational biology are her primary areas of study. Evolutionary biology connects with themes related to Brachypodium distachyon in her study. Genetics covers she research in RNA.

Sheila McCormick conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Botany and Miscanthus sinensis through her research.
