Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Genus

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Stamen, Sepal, Petal and Whorl. Her work on Gynoecium, Apex and Inflorescence as part of general Botany research is often related to Organogenesis and Floral symmetry, thus linking different fields of science. Her research integrates issues of Ovule and Tapetum, Pollen wall, Microspore in her study of Gynoecium.

In most of her Stamen studies, her work intersects topics such as Piperales. Her studies in Petal integrate themes in fields like Plant stem, Anther dehiscence, Senna and Chamaecrista. Her studies deal with areas such as Taxon and Appendage as well as Whorl.

Her most cited work include:

  • Floral Development in Legumes (169 citations)
  • Overlapping organ initiation and common primordia in flowers of Pisum sativum (Leguminosae: Papilionoideae) (84 citations)
  • ORIGIN OF SYMMETRY IN FLOWERS (75 citations)

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

Shirley C. Tucker mainly investigates Botany, Gynoecium, Petal, Sepal and Stamen. In her work, Shirley C. Tucker performs multidisciplinary research in Botany and Primordium. Her research investigates the connection between Gynoecium and topics such as Ovule that intersect with issues in Ovary.

Her work deals with themes such as Chamaecrista, Senna and Swartzieae, which intersect with Petal. Shirley C. Tucker usually deals with Sepal and limits it to topics linked to Caesalpinioideae and Tribe. Her work carried out in the field of Stamen brings together such families of science as Receptacle and Illicium.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (107.95%)
  • Gynoecium (42.05%)
  • Petal (29.55%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2001-2014)?

  • Botany (107.95%)
  • Petal (29.55%)
  • Sepal (29.55%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Botany, Petal, Sepal, Gynoecium and Stamen. Shirley C. Tucker performs multidisciplinary studies into Botany and Cladoniaceae in her work. Her study focuses on the intersection of Petal and fields such as Whorl with connections in the field of Apex.

Shirley C. Tucker works mostly in the field of Sepal, limiting it down to topics relating to Hypanthium and, in certain cases, Tribe, Lineage, Caesalpinioideae and Mimosoideae, as a part of the same area of interest. Her Gynoecium research focuses on Swartzieae and how it relates to Swartzia and Calyx. Her Stamen study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Tetraberlinia, Afzelia and Berlinia.

Between 2001 and 2014, her most popular works were:

  • Floral Development in Legumes (169 citations)
  • Floral Ontogeny of Aquilegia, Semiaquilegia, and Enemion (Ranunculaceae) (65 citations)
  • Floral development in the Nymphaeales (47 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Genus

Botany, Stamen, Petal, Gynoecium and Sepal are her primary areas of study. Shirley C. Tucker applies her multidisciplinary studies on Botany and Cabombaceae in her research. Cabombaceae combines with fields such as Nymphaea, Nuphar, Nymphaeaceae, Illiciales and Basal angiosperms in her work.

Her Fabaceae research incorporates themes from Inflorescence and Plant stem. Her study in Swartzieae is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Whorl and Hypanthium. In the subject of general Ranunculaceae, her work in Aquilegia and Aquilegia ecalcarata is often linked to Semiaquilegia adoxoides and Enemion, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
