Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Salinity, Shoot, Solanum and Biochemistry. The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Nutrient, Atriplex halimus and Cell biology. The various areas that Stanley Lutts examines in his Salinity study include Cultivar, Horticulture, Genetic marker, Regulation of gene expression and Oryza sativa.

Stanley Lutts works mostly in the field of Shoot, limiting it down to topics relating to Plant physiology and, in certain cases, WRKY protein domain, W-box, Salicylic acid and Osmotic pressure. His work carried out in the field of Solanum brings together such families of science as Arabidopsis, Ecophysiology, Seedling and Transcription factor. His Biochemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Hypocotyl, Secondary growth and Lignin.

His most cited work include:

  • Copper Trafficking in Plants and Its Implication on Cell Wall Dynamics (97 citations)
  • Effect of water stress on growth, Na+ and K+ accumulation and water use efficiency in relation to osmotic adjustment in two populations of Atriplex halimus L. (91 citations)
  • Reactive oxygen species and heavy metal stress in plants: Impact on the cell wall and secondary metabolism (80 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Horticulture, Salinity, Shoot and Agronomy. His Botany research includes themes of Halophyte and Cadmium. The concepts of his Cadmium study are interwoven with issues in Zygophyllum fabago, Zinc and Biochemistry.

His studies deal with areas such as Photosynthesis, Water-use efficiency, Transpiration and Osmotic pressure as well as Horticulture. His study looks at the relationship between Salinity and topics such as Cultivar, which overlap with Oryza sativa, Seedling, Drought tolerance and Poaceae. His Shoot research incorporates themes from Nutrient, Phytoremediation, Sesuvium portulacastrum and Chromosomal translocation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (46.59%)
  • Horticulture (32.95%)
  • Salinity (25.00%)

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

  • Horticulture (32.95%)
  • Salinity (25.00%)
  • Halophyte (16.48%)

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

Stanley Lutts mainly investigates Horticulture, Salinity, Halophyte, Cadmium and Shoot. In his work, Caryopsis is strongly intertwined with Transpiration, which is a subfield of Horticulture. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cultivar, Antioxidant, Sodium, Salt and Oryza sativa.

His research integrates issues of Zinc toxicity, Hemicellulose, Lignin, Botany and Polysaccharide in his study of Halophyte. Stanley Lutts is involved in the study of Botany that focuses on Plant stem in particular. His Shoot study incorporates themes from Atriplex and Water-use efficiency.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Reactive oxygen species and heavy metal stress in plants: Impact on the cell wall and secondary metabolism (80 citations)
  • Tomato Fruit Development and Metabolism (33 citations)
  • The cytokinin trans-zeatine riboside increased resistance to heavy metals in the halophyte plant species Kosteletzkya pentacarpos in the absence but not in the presence of NaCl (12 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

Stanley Lutts spends much of his time researching Horticulture, Halophyte, Salinity, Cadmium and Plant physiology. His research on Horticulture frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Aquaporin. His study in Salinity is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soil water, Phytoremediation, Bioavailability, Shoot and Environmental chemistry.

Cadmium and Abscisic acid are frequently intertwined in his study. The concepts of his Plant physiology study are interwoven with issues in Biochemistry, Osmolyte and Metabolism. His Salicylic acid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Plant hormone, Glutathione, Botany and Stomatal conductance.
