Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Ecology

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Root system, Savia, Xylem and Photosynthesis. His Botany research integrates issues from Abscisic acid, Temporal resolution and Water content. His studies deal with areas such as Biological system, Shoot and Ecophysiology as well as Root system.

His Savia research incorporates elements of Phloem and Analytical chemistry. Ulrich Schurr has researched Xylem in several fields, including Sunflower, Helianthus annuus, Composition, Water stress and Nutrient. His studies in Photosynthesis integrate themes in fields like Endogenous rhythms, Carbohydrate, Systems biology and Biochemical engineering.

His most cited work include:

  • Future scenarios for plant phenotyping. (549 citations)
  • Agriculture: Feeding the future (333 citations)
  • Control of Stomatal Behaviour by Abscisic Acid which Apparently Originates in the Roots (299 citations)

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

Ulrich Schurr mostly deals with Botany, Agronomy, Shoot, Horticulture and Photosynthesis. His research integrates issues of Growth rate and Nicotiana tabacum in his study of Botany. The Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Biomass and Nutrient.

His Horticulture study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Sucrose. His research on Photosynthesis frequently links to adjacent areas such as Chlorophyll. His Xylem study combines topics in areas such as Phloem and Savia.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (40.00%)
  • Agronomy (19.09%)
  • Shoot (12.27%)

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

  • Shoot (12.27%)
  • Agronomy (19.09%)
  • Botany (40.00%)

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

His primary areas of study are Shoot, Agronomy, Botany, Plant phenotyping and Biomass. The various areas that he examines in his Shoot study include Chemical physics, Characterization, Photosynthesis and Metabolomics. His work on Legume as part of general Agronomy research is often related to Root and Nodule, thus linking different fields of science.

Ulrich Schurr works mostly in the field of Botany, limiting it down to topics relating to Metabolism and, in certain cases, Plant nutrition and Subspecies. His work is dedicated to discovering how Plant phenotyping, Data science are connected with Data mining and Plant growth and other disciplines. He has included themes like Stress and Root system in his Biotechnology study.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • De Novo Assembly of a New Solanum pennellii Accession Using Nanopore Sequencing. (126 citations)
  • Quantitative 3D Analysis of Plant Roots Growing in Soil Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (101 citations)
  • Valorization of Sida (Sida hermaphrodita) biomass for multiple energy purposes (43 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Ecology

Ulrich Schurr spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Biomass, Plant phenotyping, Data science and Lignin. His Agronomy research includes themes of Nutrient, Chlorella vulgaris, Metabolomics and Genomics. The concepts of his Biomass study are interwoven with issues in Perennial plant, Nitrogen deficiency, Flavonoid, Horticulture and Secondary metabolite.

His Perennial plant research is classified as research in Botany. His Plant phenotyping study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Agriculture and Precision agriculture. His study in Data science is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Field and Process.
