Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Gene

His scientific interests lie mostly in Biochemistry, Botany, Hordeum vulgare, Apoplast and Zinc. Søren Husted interconnects Manganese, Shoot and Nuclear chemistry in the investigation of issues within Biochemistry. His work on Ecophysiology, Cucumis and Canopy as part of general Botany research is frequently linked to Relative humidity, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

In his work, Diffusive gradients in thin films, Soil classification, Soil water and Soil test is strongly intertwined with Nutrient, which is a subfield of Hordeum vulgare. Søren Husted undertakes multidisciplinary investigations into Apoplast and Ammonium in his work. Søren Husted combines subjects such as Nicotianamine, Nicotianamine synthase, Phosphorus and Chromosomal translocation with his study of Zinc.

His most cited work include:

  • Iron fortification of rice seeds through activation of the nicotianamine synthase gene (234 citations)
  • The chemical buffer system in raw and digested animal slurry (197 citations)
  • Seasonal variation in methane emission from stored slurry and solid manures (190 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Hordeum vulgare, Biochemistry, Environmental chemistry and Manganese. His study in Apoplast and Brassica is carried out as part of his Botany studies. His Hordeum vulgare study incorporates themes from Biophysics, Phosphorus, Horticulture and Plant physiology.

His research in Biochemistry intersects with topics in Zinc and Nuclear chemistry. In his research, Nutrient is intimately related to Soil water, which falls under the overarching field of Environmental chemistry. He has included themes like Photosynthesis, Chlorophyll and Poaceae in his Manganese study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (20.63%)
  • Hordeum vulgare (18.75%)
  • Biochemistry (16.88%)

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

  • Hordeum vulgare (18.75%)
  • Manganese (14.38%)
  • Agronomy (11.88%)

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

Søren Husted spends much of his time researching Hordeum vulgare, Manganese, Agronomy, Biophysics and Phosphorus. His work is dedicated to discovering how Hordeum vulgare, Horticulture are connected with Chlorophyll a, Plant physiology and Phosphorus deficiency and other disciplines. His work carried out in the field of Manganese brings together such families of science as Superoxide dismutase, Active site, Cycling, Combinatorial chemistry and Oxidation state.

His research integrates issues of Soil fertility, Aleurone, Gene pool, Biofortification and Local adaptation in his study of Agronomy. As part of one scientific family, Søren Husted deals mainly with the area of Biophysics, narrowing it down to issues related to the Manganese deficiency, and often Photosynthesis, Xylem, Stele and Endodermis. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Endosperm, Sulfur and Apoplast.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Nanomaterials as fertilizers for improving plant mineral nutrition and environmental outcomes (21 citations)
  • The Biochemical Properties of Manganese in Plants. (15 citations)
  • Chlorophyll a fluorescence analysis can detect phosphorus deficiency under field conditions and is an effective tool to prevent grain yield reductions in spring barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) (14 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Gene

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Hordeum vulgare, Biotechnology, Plant growth, Nanomaterials and Food processing. His Hordeum vulgare research is within the category of Agronomy.
