Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Ecology

Her primary areas of study are Botany, Chloroplast, Photosynthesis, C4 photosynthesis and Cell biology. Her Botany research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Evolutionary biology and Embryo. The various areas that she examines in her Chloroplast study include GTPase and Mutant.

She combines subjects such as Phylogenetics and RuBisCO with her study of C4 photosynthesis. She has researched Phylogenetics in several fields, including Biophysics, Flaveria, Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and Molluginaceae. Her Pollen tube study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ovule and Sterility.

Her most cited work include:

  • Photorespiration and the Evolution of C4 Photosynthesis (422 citations)
  • Tocopherols Play a Crucial Role in Low-Temperature Adaptation and Phloem Loading in Arabidopsis (177 citations)
  • C3 plants enhance rates of photosynthesis by reassimilating photorespired and respired CO2 (156 citations)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Botany, Photosynthesis, C4 photosynthesis, Chloroplast and Vascular bundle. Her Botany research focuses on Pollen tube, Pollen, Photorespiration, Ovule and RuBisCO. Her Photosynthesis study incorporates themes from Oryza and Xylem.

Her work on Flaveria as part of general C4 photosynthesis research is frequently linked to Temperature response, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. Her work deals with themes such as Convergent evolution, Plasmodesma, Ribulose and Arabidopsis, which intersect with Chloroplast. Her Vascular bundle research incorporates elements of Anatomy, Invasive species, Phylogenetics, Organelle and Heliotropium tenellum.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (71.21%)
  • Photosynthesis (34.85%)
  • C4 photosynthesis (24.24%)

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

  • Photosynthesis (34.85%)
  • C4 photosynthesis (24.24%)
  • Chloroplast (22.73%)

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

Tammy L. Sage spends much of her time researching Photosynthesis, C4 photosynthesis, Chloroplast, Botany and Vascular bundle. Her study in Photosynthesis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Evolutionary dynamics, Biological evolution and Function. Tammy L. Sage has included themes like Citric acid cycle and Nitrogen assimilation in her C4 photosynthesis study.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Convergent evolution and Clade. Her Botany research integrates issues from Caryophyllales and Okenia. Her Vascular bundle study also includes

  • Organelle that connect with fields like Arabidopsis, Mutant and Green fluorescent protein,
  • Plasmodesma together with Callose and Biophysics.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • C4 anatomy can evolve via a single developmental change. (22 citations)
  • The Evolutionary Origin of C4 photosynthesis in the Grass Subtribe Neurachninae (6 citations)
  • Mind the gap: the evolutionary engagement of the C4 metabolic cycle in support of net carbon assimilation. (5 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Ecology

Her scientific interests lie mostly in C4 photosynthesis, Photosynthesis, Alloteropsis semialata, Developmental change and Anatomy. Her research integrates issues of Carbon gain, Carbon assimilation, Biological evolution, Function and Evolutionary dynamics in her study of C4 photosynthesis. Her studies deal with areas such as Evolutionary biology, Chloroplast, Vascular bundle and Respiration as well as Photosynthesis.

Her study on Alloteropsis is often connected to Trait as part of broader study in Alloteropsis semialata.
