Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

Teresa Capell mainly focuses on Biotechnology, Genetically modified crops, Metabolic engineering, Transgene and Computational biology. Her Biotechnology study incorporates themes from Genetically modified maize, Food processing and Genomics. The concepts of her Genetically modified crops study are interwoven with issues in Bacillus thuringiensis, Biosafety, Genetically modified organism and Botany.

Her Metabolic engineering study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Carotenoid and Metabolic pathway. Teresa Capell has included themes like Putrescine, Gene expression and Polyamine in her Transgene study. The various areas that Teresa Capell examines in her Computational biology study include Genetics, Gene, Transformation, Metabolic diversity and Metabolic conversion.

Her most cited work include:

  • Modulation of the polyamine biosynthetic pathway in transgenic rice confers tolerance to drought stress (467 citations)
  • Bacillus thuringiensis: a century of research, development and commercial applications. (435 citations)
  • Transgenic multivitamin corn through biofortification of endosperm with three vitamins representing three distinct metabolic pathways. (351 citations)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Carotenoid, Endosperm and Genetically modified crops. Her research integrates issues of Crop and Metabolic engineering in her study of Biotechnology. In her work, Computational biology is strongly intertwined with Metabolic pathway, which is a subfield of Metabolic engineering.

Her study focuses on the intersection of Carotenoid and fields such as Gene with connections in the field of Cell biology. She focuses mostly in the field of Endosperm, narrowing it down to topics relating to Phytoene synthase and, in certain cases, Phytoene desaturase. Her Genetically modified crops research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Biosafety, Bacillus thuringiensis, Agronomy and Genetically modified organism.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Biotechnology (33.99%)
  • Biochemistry (32.03%)
  • Carotenoid (21.57%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Carotenoid (21.57%)
  • Biochemistry (32.03%)
  • Endosperm (17.65%)

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

Teresa Capell focuses on Carotenoid, Biochemistry, Endosperm, Biotechnology and Food science. Carotenoid is a subfield of Botany that Teresa Capell explores. Her study in Endosperm is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Phytoene synthase, Genetically modified crops, Genetically modified rice, Gene and Nicotianamine.

Her Genetically modified crops study frequently links to other fields, such as Monoclonal antibody. Her Biotechnology research integrates issues from Infectivity, Agronomy and Commercialization. Her work deals with themes such as Transformation and Metabolic pathway, which intersect with Transgene.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Bottlenecks in carotenoid biosynthesis and accumulation in rice endosperm are influenced by the precursor–product balance (68 citations)
  • Patterns of CRISPR/Cas9 activity in plants, animals and microbes (67 citations)
  • Characteristics of Genome Editing Mutations in Cereal Crops (65 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

Teresa Capell mainly investigates Endosperm, Biochemistry, Carotenoid, Botany and Genetically modified crops. Her Endosperm research incorporates themes from Endoplasmic reticulum, Plastid, Transgene and Gene mutation. Her Biochemistry research is mostly focused on the topic Apocarotenoid.

Teresa Capell combines subjects such as Chromoplast and Metabolic engineering with her study of Carotenoid. Teresa Capell has researched Botany in several fields, including Genetically modified maize, Retinol and Animal feed. Her Genetically modified crops research focuses on Genetically modified rice in particular.
