Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Gene

Timothy D. Colmer focuses on Botany, Aerenchyma, Shoot, Agronomy and Waterlogging. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Rumex palustris and Horticulture. His Aerenchyma formation study in the realm of Aerenchyma connects with subjects such as Rhizosphere.

His Shoot study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Photosynthesis, Transpiration, Hydroponics, Rhizome and Xylem. Timothy D. Colmer interconnects Soil water, Soil pH, Salinity and Apex in the investigation of issues within Agronomy. His Waterlogging research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ecophysiology, Integrated pest management and Root system.

His most cited work include:

  • Salinity tolerance in halophytes (1515 citations)
  • Long-distance transport of gases in plants: a perspective on internal aeration and radial oxygen loss from roots (820 citations)
  • Flooding tolerance: suites of plant traits in variable environments (484 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Botany, Shoot, Salinity and Aerenchyma. His study looks at the intersection of Agronomy and topics like Soil water with Cynodon dactylon. His Botany study combines topics in areas such as Aeration and Salicornioideae.

Lotus is closely connected to Perennial plant in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Shoot. Timothy D. Colmer has researched Salinity in several fields, including Saline, Germination and Plant physiology. His Aerenchyma formation study in the realm of Aerenchyma interacts with subjects such as Exodermis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (41.72%)
  • Botany (36.21%)
  • Shoot (29.66%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Agronomy (41.72%)
  • Horticulture (19.66%)
  • Aerenchyma (21.72%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Horticulture, Aerenchyma, Shoot and Salinity. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil water and Flooding. The study incorporates disciplines such as Photosynthesis, Oryza sativa and Medicago in addition to Horticulture.

Aerenchyma is a subfield of Botany that Timothy D. Colmer explores. He combines subjects such as Perennial plant, Dry weight, Legume and DNS root zone with his study of Shoot. His studies in Salinity integrate themes in fields like Reproduction, Crop and Sucrose.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Regulation of Root Traits for Internal Aeration and Tolerance to Soil Waterlogging-Flooding Stress. (77 citations)
  • Osmotic adjustment and energy limitations to plant growth in saline soil. (72 citations)
  • Resequencing of 429 chickpea accessions from 45 countries provides insights into genome diversity, domestication and agronomic traits. (64 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Ecology

Aerenchyma, Agronomy, Horticulture, Salinity and Botany are his primary areas of study. His research in Aerenchyma is mostly concerned with Aerenchyma formation. His work carried out in the field of Agronomy brings together such families of science as Aeration, Water metabolism, Soil chemistry and Flooding.

His research in Horticulture intersects with topics in Photosynthesis, Mutant and Rapeseed. His study in Salinity is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biomass, Efflux, Metabolic energy and Crop. The various areas that Timothy D. Colmer examines in his Botany study include Halophyte and Negative correlation.
