Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Biochemistry
  • Ecology

Botany, Guard cell, Commelina communis, Biophysics and Biochemistry are his primary areas of study. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil water and Agronomy. His Guard cell research incorporates elements of Stimulation, Commelina and Darkness.

Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Turgor pressure under Commelina communis, and may sometimes address concerns connected to EGTA, Suaeda, Transpiration stream and Halophyte. His Biophysics study combines topics in areas such as Epidermis, Osmotic pressure and Starch. His study in the field of Second messenger system, Extracellular and Signal transduction is also linked to topics like Cytosol.

His most cited work include:

  • Some current aspects of stomatal physiology. (328 citations)
  • Suppression of Stomatal Opening in Leaves Treated with Abscisic Acid (195 citations)
  • SYNERGISM BETWEEN CALCIUM IONS AND ABSCISIC ACID IN PREVENTING STOMATAL OPENING (154 citations)

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

Terry A. Mansfield mostly deals with Botany, Guard cell, Commelina communis, Biophysics and Epidermis. His study in Botany is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Endogeny and Carbon dioxide. His Guard cell study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Turgor pressure and Darkness.

He has researched Commelina communis in several fields, including Circadian rhythm, Commelinaceae and Starch. His Biophysics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Stomatal aperture, Co2 concentration, EGTA, Calmodulin and Stimulation. He interconnects Osmotic pressure and Incubation in the investigation of issues within Epidermis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (61.33%)
  • Guard cell (46.67%)
  • Commelina communis (36.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1993-2002)?

  • Botany (61.33%)
  • Guard cell (46.67%)
  • Transpiration (14.67%)

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

His primary areas of study are Botany, Guard cell, Transpiration, Stomatal conductance and Commelina communis. His Botany research integrates issues from Salinity, Agronomy, Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere, Carbon dioxide and Brown earth. His research integrates issues of Peat, Cambisol, Respiration rate and Gleysol in his study of Agronomy.

His Guard cell study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Biophysics. His research in Biophysics intersects with topics in Extracellular, Biochemistry, Signal transduction, Intracellular and Second messenger system. His Transpiration stream research includes themes of Suaeda, Turgor pressure, Xylem, Suaeda maritima and Epidermis.

Between 1993 and 2002, his most popular works were:

  • Carbon dioxide induces increases in guard cell cytosolic free calcium (152 citations)
  • Root production and turnover and carbon budgets of two contrasting grasslands under ambient and elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. (113 citations)
  • HOW CAN STOMATA CONTRIBUTE TO SALT TOLERANCE (111 citations)
