Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Steven P. C. Groot mainly focuses on Germination, Botany, Radicle, Gibberellin and Biochemistry. His work in Germination addresses issues such as Arabidopsis, which are connected to fields such as Arabidopsis thaliana. His Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Quantitative trait locus, Abscisic acid and Horticulture.

His studies in Radicle integrate themes in fields like Endosperm, Mitosis, Cell biology, Cell cycle and Priming. In his research, Paclobutrazol is intimately related to Gibberellic acid, which falls under the overarching field of Gibberellin. His Biochemistry research includes themes of Imbibition and Seedling.

His most cited work include:

  • Proteomic Analysis of Arabidopsis Seed Germination and Priming (496 citations)
  • Gibberellins regulate seed germination in tomato by endosperm weakening: a study with gibberellin-deficient mutants (307 citations)
  • Proteome-Wide Characterization of Seed Aging in Arabidopsis: A Comparison between Artificial and Natural Aging Protocols (280 citations)

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

Germination, Botany, Horticulture, Agronomy and Seed treatment are his primary areas of study. His work deals with themes such as Gibberellin and Longevity, which intersect with Germination. His work is dedicated to discovering how Botany, Arabidopsis are connected with Arabidopsis thaliana and other disciplines.

His work in Horticulture addresses subjects such as Quantitative trait locus, which are connected to disciplines such as Ageing. As part of one scientific family, Steven P. C. Groot deals mainly with the area of Seed treatment, narrowing it down to issues related to the Biological pest control, and often Natural enemies. The Radicle study combines topics in areas such as Cell cycle, Biochemistry, Desiccation tolerance and Imbibition.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Germination (60.61%)
  • Botany (42.42%)
  • Horticulture (37.37%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Germination (60.61%)
  • Horticulture (37.37%)
  • Quantitative trait locus (8.08%)

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

Steven P. C. Groot focuses on Germination, Horticulture, Quantitative trait locus, Moisture and Botany. His Germination study incorporates themes from Arabidopsis, Cell biology, Auxin, Cutting and Somatic embryogenesis. His studies in Arabidopsis integrate themes in fields like Embryo and Somatic cell.

Steven P. C. Groot combines subjects such as Crop and Longevity with his study of Horticulture. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Quantitative trait locus, Dormancy, Stratification and Seed dormancy is strongly linked to Ageing. The various areas that he examines in his Botany study include Epistasis and Doubled haploidy.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Prolonging the longevity of ex situ conserved seeds by storage under anoxia (42 citations)
  • Barley Seed Aging: Genetics behind the Dry Elevated Pressure of Oxygen Aging and Moist Controlled Deterioration. (19 citations)
  • Quantitative Trait Locus Analysis of Seed Germination and Seedling Vigor in Brassica rapa Reveals QTL Hotspots and Epistatic Interactions. (17 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Steven P. C. Groot mainly investigates Germination, Quantitative trait locus, Botany, Horticulture and Ageing. His Germination study incorporates themes from Seedling and Longevity. His Seedling research incorporates themes from Shoot, Epistasis, Doubled haploidy and Brassica rapa.

His work on Stratification and Seed dormancy as part of general Dormancy research is often related to Partial pressure and Common method, thus linking different fields of science. His Moisture research overlaps with other disciplines such as Allele and Caryopsis. His Ex situ conservation research incorporates elements of Dry storage, Anoxic waters, Initial rate, Oxygen uptake and Temporary storage.
