Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Genetics, Photosynthesis, Photosystem II and Gene. His study ties his expertise on Biological system together with the subject of Botany. His study in Genomics, Expressed sequence tag, Genome, Arabidopsis and Candidate gene is done as part of Genetics.

His Photosynthesis study results in a more complete grasp of Biochemistry. His work carried out in the field of Photosystem II brings together such families of science as Thylakoid and Biophysics. His studies deal with areas such as Chloroplast and Photosystem I as well as Light-harvesting complex.

His most cited work include:

  • The genome of black cottonwood, Populus trichocarpa (Torr. & Gray) (3324 citations)
  • A pigment-binding protein essential for regulation of photosynthetic light harvesting (1208 citations)
  • The Norway spruce genome sequence and conifer genome evolution. (959 citations)

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

Stefan Jansson mostly deals with Botany, Photosynthesis, Gene, Arabidopsis and Biochemistry. Stefan Jansson has researched Botany in several fields, including Ecology and Senescence. The Photosynthesis study combines topics in areas such as Chloroplast, Biophysics and Chlorophyll.

Stefan Jansson has included themes like Quenching, Photosystem I and Light-harvesting complex in his Biophysics study. His Gene study is related to the wider topic of Genetics. He usually deals with Arabidopsis and limits it to topics linked to Arabidopsis thaliana and Non-photochemical quenching.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (31.60%)
  • Photosynthesis (20.35%)
  • Gene (16.45%)

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

  • Evolutionary biology (5.19%)
  • Gene (16.45%)

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

Stefan Jansson focuses on Diabetes mellitus, Evolutionary biology, Gene, Cohort study and Photosynthesis. His Diabetes mellitus research includes elements of Treatment goals, Primary health care, Pediatrics and Disease. His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sequence assembly, Genome, Recombination and Genetic architecture.

His work on Genome editing and Genetically modified crops as part of general Gene research is frequently linked to Classics and Happening, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Photosynthesis study is concerned with the field of Botany as a whole. His studies deal with areas such as Arabidopsis thaliana, Picea abies, Biophysics, Arabidopsis and Photosystem II as well as Thylakoid.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Darkened leaves use different metabolic strategies for senescence and survival (35 citations)
  • A major locus controls local adaptation and adaptive life history variation in a perennial plant. (34 citations)
  • Stable Accumulation of Photosystem II Requires ONE-HELIX PROTEIN1 (OHP1) of the Light Harvesting-Like Family (31 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Stefan Jansson mainly focuses on Arabidopsis, Thylakoid, Botany, Photosynthesis and Arabidopsis thaliana. His Arabidopsis study is associated with Biochemistry. Stefan Jansson integrates Botany and Mechanism in his studies.

Stefan Jansson has researched Photosynthesis in several fields, including Overwintering and Taiga. His Arabidopsis thaliana research integrates issues from Biophysics and Photosystem II. The study incorporates disciplines such as Chloroplast, Chlorophyll, Chlorophyll fluorescence and Mutant in addition to Photosystem II.
