Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

His primary areas of study are Botany, Agronomy, Plant physiology, Siderophore and Poaceae. His research brings together the fields of Cluster root and Botany. His work on Fertilizer is typically connected to Scale as part of general Agronomy study, connecting several disciplines of science.

His Siderophore research incorporates themes from Chelation, Ferric-chelate reductase and Sorghum. His Poaceae research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cropping system, Crop rotation, Chromosomal translocation and Human fertilization. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Glomus and Plant nutrition.

His most cited work include:

  • Evidence for a specific uptake system for iron phytosiderophores in roots of grasses. (746 citations)
  • Different strategies in higher plants in mobilization and uptake of iron (661 citations)
  • Citric acid excretion and precipitation of calcium citrate in the rhizosphere of white lupin (Lupinus albus L.) (593 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Agronomy, Horticulture, Shoot and Poaceae. He has included themes like Sunflower, Helianthus annuus and Siderophore in his Botany study. He interconnects Chelation, Nicotianamine and Hordeum vulgare in the investigation of issues within Siderophore.

His work in Agronomy addresses issues such as Soil water, which are connected to fields such as Water content and Environmental chemistry. His Horticulture study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Zinc deficiency and Bioinorganic chemistry. His Shoot study also includes fields such as

  • Plant nutrition that intertwine with fields like Chlorophyll,
  • Xylem that intertwine with fields like Exudate,
  • Chromosomal translocation that connect with fields like Mutant.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (45.18%)
  • Agronomy (32.02%)
  • Horticulture (25.88%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2016)?

  • Agronomy (32.02%)
  • Botany (45.18%)
  • Horticulture (25.88%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Botany, Horticulture, Shoot and Soil water. His work in the fields of Plant physiology, Apoplast and Evergreen overlaps with other areas such as Boric acid. He works mostly in the field of Apoplast, limiting it down to concerns involving Reductase and, occasionally, Chelation.

His Horticulture study incorporates themes from Hordeum vulgare, Root hair and Chromosomal translocation. His Shoot research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Root cell, Exudate, Nutrient solution, Xylem and Genotype. His Soil water research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Fertilizer and Water content.

Between 2008 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Integrated soil-crop system management for food security (446 citations)
  • Research on potassium in agriculture: needs and prospects (411 citations)
  • Influence of long-term nitrogen fertilization on micronutrient density in grain of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (137 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

Volker Römheld mostly deals with Agronomy, Soil water, Cropping system, Field experiment and Human fertilization. His research in Seed priming, Sowing, DNS root zone, Seedling and Shoot are components of Agronomy. The Soil water study combines topics in areas such as Plant nutrition and Water content.

The concepts of his Water content study are interwoven with issues in Environmental chemistry, Calcareous, Nitrification and Crop rotation. His Field experiment research incorporates elements of Cropping, Monoculture and Poaceae. His Human fertilization study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Nitrogen management, Cultivar and Straw.
