Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Vimla Vasil mainly focuses on Botany, Gene, Callus, Somatic embryogenesis and Protoplast. The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Transformation, Transgene and Embryo. Vimla Vasil works mostly in the field of Gene, limiting it down to concerns involving Molecular biology and, occasionally, Southern blot, Transcription and Intron.

Her research investigates the link between Callus and topics such as Cultivar that cross with problems in Germination and Scutellum. Her studies in Protoplast integrate themes in fields like Cell culture and Shoot. Her research in Reporter gene tackles topics such as Transcription factor which are related to areas like Regulation of gene expression and Activator.

Her most cited work include:

  • Herbicide resistant fertile transgenic wheat plants obtained by microprojectile bombardment of regenerable embryogenic callus (663 citations)
  • The Viviparous-1 developmental gene of maize encodes a novel transcriptional activator. (585 citations)
  • Evaluation of Selectable Markers for Obtaining Stable Transformants in the Gramineae (290 citations)

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

Vimla Vasil mostly deals with Botany, Callus, Protoplast, Gene and Somatic embryogenesis. The various areas that Vimla Vasil examines in her Botany study include Genetically modified crops and Embryo. Her Callus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cell culture, Cultivar, Phosphinothricin acetyltransferase and Bacteria.

In her study, Agar plate and Callus formation is strongly linked to Horticulture, which falls under the umbrella field of Protoplast. Her Gene study combines topics in areas such as Molecular biology and DNA. Her research integrates issues of Primordium, Scutellum, Germination, Zea mays and Regeneration in her study of Somatic embryogenesis.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (61.64%)
  • Callus (45.21%)
  • Protoplast (28.77%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 1992-2006)?

  • Botany (61.64%)
  • Gene (27.40%)
  • Genetically modified crops (16.44%)

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

Vimla Vasil mainly investigates Botany, Gene, Genetically modified crops, Gene expression and Callus. Her Botany research incorporates elements of Agriculture and Transgene. The concepts of her Gene study are interwoven with issues in Molecular biology and DNA.

Her Gene expression research incorporates elements of Transformation and Intron. Her Callus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cultivar and Phosphinothricin acetyltransferase. Her studies in Poaceae integrate themes in fields like Regeneration and Embryo.

Between 1992 and 2006, her most popular works were:

  • Rapid production of transgenic wheat plants by direct bombardment of cultured immature embryos (254 citations)
  • Integration and expression of the high-molecular-weight glutenin subunit 1Ax1 gene into wheat (198 citations)
  • Accelerated production of transgenic wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plants. (196 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Her main research concerns Gene, Transgene, Transformation, Botany and Genetics. Her study brings together the fields of Cell biology and Gene. The Transgene study combines topics in areas such as Molecular biology, Reporter gene, Cultivar and Southern blot.

Her Transformation study incorporates themes from Poaceae, Gene expression, Callus formation and Embryo. Her studies deal with areas such as Genetically modified crops and Wheat flour, Food science, Gluten as well as Gene expression. Her study in Callus and Endosperm are all subfields of Botany.
