Overview

Viktor Žárský is affiliated with the Czech Academy of Sciences in the Czech Republic and conducts research primarily in the fields of agricultural and biological sciences as well as biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Their work spans several subfields, with a particular focus on plant science, molecular biology, atmospheric science, paleontology, and ecology, evolution, behavior, and systematics.

The scientist's research covers a variety of main topics, including plant molecular biology research, plant reproductive biology, photosynthetic processes and mechanisms, plant nutrient uptake and metabolism, plant-microbe interactions and immunity, legume nitrogen-fixing symbiosis, and polysaccharides and plant cell walls. These topics reflect a broad engagement with mechanisms and interactions at the molecular and cellular levels within plants.

Viktor Žárský has contributed to numerous publications, notably in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Frontiers in Plant Science, PLANT PHYSIOLOGY, The Plant Journal, and The Plant Cell. The distribution of publications indicates a consistent output within specialized plant science journals and preprint servers.

Recent papers include:

  • Plasma membrane phospholipid signature recruits the plant exocyst complex via the EXO70A1 subunit, 2021, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • Exocyst functions in plants: secretion and autophagy, 2022, FEBS Letters
  • EXO70A2 Is Critical for Exocyst Complex Function in Pollen Development, 2020, PLANT PHYSIOLOGY
