Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Gene

Urs Feller spends much of his time researching Botany, Biochemistry, RuBisCO, Phloem and Photosynthesis. In general Botany, his work in Shoot is often linked to Cadmium linking many areas of study. His Hordeum vulgare research extends to Biochemistry, which is thematically connected.

His RuBisCO research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Thylakoid, Chloroplast, Oxygenase, Proteolysis and Glutamine synthetase. Urs Feller has researched Chloroplast in several fields, including Amino acid and Vacuole. His work on Chlorophyll fluorescence, Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate and Stomatal conductance as part of general Photosynthesis study is frequently connected to Quercus pubescens, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His most cited work include:

  • Nitrogen metabolism and remobilization during senescence. (544 citations)
  • Moderately High Temperatures Inhibit Ribulose-1,5-Bisphosphate Carboxylase/Oxygenase (Rubisco) Activase-Mediated Activation of Rubisco (308 citations)
  • Biochemical changes in barley plants after excessive supply of copper and manganese (303 citations)

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

Urs Feller mainly focuses on Botany, Biochemistry, Horticulture, Agronomy and Phloem. Biochemistry is represented through his RuBisCO, Glutamine synthetase, Enzyme, Chloroplast and Proteolysis research. His RuBisCO research includes elements of Oxygenase, Biophysics, Pyruvate carboxylase and Darkness.

His Horticulture research focuses on Protease and how it relates to Proteases. His work deals with themes such as Plant ecology and Nutrient, which intersect with Agronomy. His work carried out in the field of Phloem brings together such families of science as Shoot, Peduncle, Poaceae and Xylem.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (41.01%)
  • Biochemistry (30.34%)
  • Horticulture (21.35%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2020)?

  • Botany (41.01%)
  • Agronomy (21.35%)
  • Horticulture (21.35%)

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

His primary areas of study are Botany, Agronomy, Horticulture, Drought tolerance and Plant physiology. RuBisCO, Trifolium repens, Red Clover, Xylem and Cultivar are the subjects of his Botany studies. His Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Photosynthesis and Plant ecology.

His Drought tolerance study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Leucine, Aminopeptidase, Glutathione, Proteolysis and Chloroplast. His studies deal with areas such as Protease, Hydroponic culture, Abiotic component and Methionine as well as Plant physiology. His study on Protease is covered under Biochemistry.

Between 2009 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Phosphorus and nitrogen regulate arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis in petunia hybrida (137 citations)
  • Proteolytic activity and cysteine protease expression in wheat leaves under severe soil drought and recovery. (103 citations)
  • Interactions between temperature, drought and stomatal opening in legumes (81 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Gene

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Agronomy, Photosynthesis, RuBisCO and Cultivar. He specializes in Botany, namely Xylem. His Xylem research includes themes of Transpiration stream, Phloem and Shoot.

The Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Petunia and Nutrient. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Fagaceae and Abiotic stress. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of RuBisCO, focusing on Plant ecology and, on occasion, Phleum, Chlorophyll fluorescence, Photosystem II, Grassland and Productivity.
