Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Plasmodesma, Movement protein, Tobacco mosaic virus, Cell biology and Botany. Plasmodesma is closely attributed to Organelle in his study. Shmuel Wolf has researched Tobacco mosaic virus in several fields, including Genetically modified crops, Molecular biology and Cell wall.

Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Molecular mass under Genetically modified crops, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Gene. The Botany study which covers Messenger RNA that intersects with Auxin, Small RNA, Vascular tissue, Lateral root formation and Arabidopsis. His study in Phloem is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sucrose and Apoplast.

His most cited work include:

  • Movement Protein of Tobacco Mosaic Virus Modifies Plasmodesmatal Size Exclusion Limit (529 citations)
  • Phloem Transport: Cellular Pathways and Molecular Trafficking (322 citations)
  • Secondary plasmodesmata are specific sites of localization of the tobacco mosaic virus movement protein in transgenic tobacco plants. (299 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Phloem, Biochemistry, Cell biology and Movement protein. His work deals with themes such as Genetically modified crops, Transgene, Horticulture and Solanaceae, which intersect with Botany. The concepts of his Phloem study are interwoven with issues in Cucumber mosaic virus, Messenger RNA and Green fluorescent protein.

His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Solanum, Vascular tissue and Auxin. Movement protein is connected with Tobacco mosaic virus, Plasmodesma and Nicotiana tabacum in his research. In his study, Gene expression is inextricably linked to Virus, which falls within the broad field of Plasmodesma.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (43.18%)
  • Phloem (35.23%)
  • Biochemistry (26.14%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?

  • Phloem (35.23%)
  • Cell biology (26.14%)
  • Botany (43.18%)

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

Phloem, Cell biology, Botany, Biochemistry and Auxin are his primary areas of study. His studies in Phloem integrate themes in fields like Cucumber mosaic virus, Stachyose, Raffinose, Vascular bundle and Downregulation and upregulation. His Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Transcription, Vascular tissue, Sieve tube element and Messenger RNA.

The Transcription study combines topics in areas such as Genetically modified crops and Apical dominance. His study on Sieve tube element also encompasses disciplines like

  • Cell, Function, Plasmodesma and Macromolecule most often made with reference to RNA,
  • RNA-binding protein which is related to area like Phloem transport. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Melon, Glyphosate and Obligate parasite.

Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Vacuoles release sucrose via tonoplast-localised SUC4-type transporters (89 citations)
  • Phloem-Mobile Aux/IAA Transcripts Target to the Root Tip and Modify Root Architecture (79 citations)
  • Don't kill the messenger: Long-distance trafficking of mRNA molecules. (41 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Enzyme

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cell biology, Phloem, Sieve tube element, Messenger RNA and Biochemistry. His research investigates the link between Cell biology and topics such as Auxin that cross with problems in Transcriptome and Lateral root. His Sieve tube element research includes elements of Transcription, RNA-binding protein, RNA transport and Phloem transport.

His Messenger RNA research incorporates themes from Cucumis, Vascular tissue, Botany, Lateral root formation and Small RNA. Many of his research projects under Biochemistry are closely connected to Sucrose transport, Symporter and Heterologous expression with Sucrose transport, Symporter and Heterologous expression, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. In Arabidopsis thaliana, Shmuel Wolf works on issues like Arabidopsis, which are connected to Meristem and Sucrose.
