Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Gene

His scientific interests lie mostly in Biochemistry, Botany, Phloem, Bark and Parenchyma. His Biochemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Raphide and Cell biology. His Raphide study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Whewellite, Crystallography, Crystal and Weddellite.

His study in the fields of Picea abies, Shoot, C4 photosynthesis and Bienertia sinuspersici under the domain of Botany overlaps with other disciplines such as Evolution of photosynthesis. His study on Phloem also encompasses disciplines like

  • Xylem that connect with fields like Methyl jasmonate,
  • Cambium that connect with fields like Inoculation and Ceratocystis. His research in Bark intersects with topics in Organism and Sex pheromone.

His most cited work include:

  • CALCIUM OXALATE IN PLANTS: Formation and Function (724 citations)
  • Anatomical and chemical defenses of conifer bark against bark beetles and other pests. (716 citations)
  • Calcium oxalate crystals in plants (652 citations)

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

Vincent R. Franceschi spends much of his time researching Biochemistry, Botany, Chloroplast, Photosynthesis and Phloem. His Biochemistry research includes themes of Calcium oxalate, Biophysics and Idioblast. His studies deal with areas such as Oxalic acid and Nuclear chemistry as well as Calcium oxalate.

His study connects Methyl jasmonate and Botany. His Chloroplast research incorporates themes from Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and Anatomy. His work in Phloem tackles topics such as Parenchyma which are related to areas like Oxidase test.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (48.89%)
  • Botany (46.67%)
  • Chloroplast (19.26%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2011)?

  • Botany (46.67%)
  • Biochemistry (48.89%)
  • Chloroplast (19.26%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Biochemistry, Chloroplast, RuBisCO and Photosynthesis. His study on Vascular bundle and Phloem is often connected to Suaedoideae and Salicornioideae as part of broader study in Botany. His Phloem study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Oxidase test and Bark.

His work carried out in the field of Biochemistry brings together such families of science as Calcium oxalate, Xylem and Parenchyma. His work deals with themes such as Endoplasmic reticulum and Idioblast, which intersect with Calcium oxalate. Vincent R. Franceschi focuses mostly in the field of Chloroplast, narrowing it down to topics relating to Anatomy and, in certain cases, Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and Genus.

Between 2003 and 2011, his most popular works were:

  • CALCIUM OXALATE IN PLANTS: Formation and Function (724 citations)
  • Anatomical and chemical defenses of conifer bark against bark beetles and other pests. (716 citations)
  • SINGLE-CELL C4 PHOTOSYNTHESIS VERSUS THE DUAL-CELL (KRANZ) PARADIGM (233 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Gene

Vincent R. Franceschi mainly investigates Biochemistry, Phloem, Botany, Vacuole and Bark. Vincent R. Franceschi works in the field of Biochemistry, namely Endoplasmic reticulum. His Phloem research integrates issues from Oxidase test, Methyl jasmonate, Xylem and Parenchyma.
