Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

Photosynthesis
Enzyme
Botany

Susanne von Caemmerer mostly deals with Photosynthesis, Botany, RuBisCO, Biochemistry and Stomatal conductance. She has researched Photosynthesis in several fields, including Chloroplast, Chlorophyll and Carboxylation. Susanne von Caemmerer interconnects Biophysics and Carbon dioxide in the investigation of issues within Botany.

The various areas that Susanne von Caemmerer examines in her RuBisCO study include Nicotiana and Nicotiana tabacum. Her Biochemistry research integrates issues from Drought tolerance and Plant physiology. Her Stomatal conductance research incorporates elements of Enzyme activator, Carbon-Carbon Lyases, Carboxy-lyases, Enzyme and Water use.

Her most cited work include:

C4 photosynthesis (23.33%)
Biophysics (16.67%)

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

Susanne von Caemmerer focuses on Photosynthesis, C4 photosynthesis, Biophysics, Vascular bundle and RuBisCO. Susanne von Caemmerer is investigating Photosynthesis as part of her Biochemistry and Botany and Photosynthesis study. In her research on the topic of Botany, Photoprotection, Biomass and Chlorophyll fluorescence is strongly related with Oryza sativa.

Her work deals with themes such as Electron transport chain, Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and Respiration, which intersect with C4 photosynthesis. Her Biophysics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Carbon fixation, Chloroplast and Cell wall. Her RuBisCO study incorporates themes from Photosynthetic efficiency and Photosystem.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

A roadmap for improving the representation of photosynthesis in Earth system models (188 citations)
Carboxysome encapsulation of the CO2-fixing enzyme Rubisco in tobacco chloroplasts. (86 citations)
Quantifying impacts of enhancing photosynthesis on crop yield (82 citations)

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

Enzyme
Photosynthesis
Gene

Susanne von Caemmerer spends much of her time researching Photosynthesis, C4 photosynthesis, RuBisCO, Global change and Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase. Her study on Photosynthesis is covered under Biochemistry. Her C4 photosynthesis study which covers Biophysics that intersects with Photosynthetic efficiency.

Susanne von Caemmerer has included themes like Chloroplast and Synthetic biology in her RuBisCO study. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Soil science, Canopy and Biosphere. The concepts of her Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase study are interwoven with issues in Cytosol, Assimilation, Cell wall, Carbonic anhydrase and Transpiration.
