Sofie Goormachtig

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

• Gene
• Bacteria
• Botany

Botany, Symbiosis, Rhizobia, Root nodule and Sesbania rostrata are her primary areas of study. Her Botany study incorporates themes from Primordium, Plant hormone, Rhizobium, Root hair and Medicago truncatula. Her Primordium research includes themes of Regulation of gene expression and Cytokinin.

Her work focuses on many connections between Rhizobium and other disciplines, such as Lateral root, that overlap with her field of interest in Epidermis. Sofie Goormachtig usually deals with Medicago truncatula and limits it to topics linked to Cell biology and Lotus japonicus. As part of the same scientific family, Sofie Goormachtig usually focuses on Sesbania rostrata, concentrating on Azorhizobium caulinodans and intersecting with Microbiology and Ontogeny.

Her most cited work include:

• Transcriptional machineries in jasmonate-elicited plant secondary metabolism (316 citations)
• CLE Peptides Control Medicago truncatula Nodulation Locally and Systemically (226 citations)
• Strigolactones suppress adventitious rooting in Arabidopsis and pea (211 citations)

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

Sofie Goormachtig mainly focuses on Botany, Sesbania rostrata, Cell biology, Medicago truncatula and Azorhizobium caulinodans. Her work deals with themes such as Primordium, Rhizobia, Lateral root, Root nodule and Root hair, which intersect with Botany. Her Sesbania rostrata research incorporates themes from Legume, Gene expression, Chitinase, Molecular biology and Sesbania.

Her Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Arabidopsis thaliana, Arabidopsis, Mutant, Transcriptome and Meristem. Her research integrates issues of Lotus japonicus, Transcription factor, Gene and Sinorhizobium meliloti in her study of Medicago truncatula. In her study, Nod is inextricably linked to Microbiology, which falls within the broad field of Azorhizobium caulinodans.

She most often published in these fields:

• Botany (65.08%)
• Sesbania rostrata (36.51%)
• Cell biology (29.37%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

• Cell biology (29.37%)
• Arabidopsis thaliana (15.87%)
• Medicago truncatula (27.78%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Cell biology, Arabidopsis thaliana, Medicago truncatula, Botany and Computational biology. In the field of Cell biology, her study on Signalling pathways overlaps with subjects such as Tandem affinity purification. The concepts of her Arabidopsis thaliana study are interwoven with issues in Arabidopsis and Strigolactone.

Her research in Medicago truncatula focuses on subjects like Rhizobia, which are connected to Ectopic expression, Lotus japonicus, Transcriptome and F-box protein. Her Botany research incorporates elements of Arbuscular mycorrhiza, Symbiosis, Root nodule and Rhizosphere. Her studies in Computational biology integrate themes in fields like Proteomics, A protein and Protein–protein interaction.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

• The Plant PTM Viewer, a central resource for exploring plant protein modifications. (19 citations)
• Unraveling new molecular players involved in the autoregulation of nodulation in Medicago truncatula. (16 citations)
• Seed germination in parasitic plants: what insights can we expect from strigolactone research? (16 citations)

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

• Gene
• Bacteria
• Botany

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Arabidopsis thaliana, Rhizobacteria, Orobanchaceae, Cell biology and Arabidopsis. Her study in Botany extends to Arabidopsis thaliana with its themes. Her work carried out in the field of Rhizobacteria brings together such families of science as Microbiome, 16S ribosomal RNA and Horticulture.

The various areas that she examines in her Orobanchaceae study include Abscisic acid, Strigolactone, Germination, Orobanche minor and Obligate. Her Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in F-box protein, Rhizobia, Transcriptome, Karrikin and Obligate parasite. Sofie Goormachtig combines subjects such as Rhizosphere and Auxin with her study of Arabidopsis.
