Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Wagner Campos Otoni mainly focuses on Botany, Explant culture, Somatic embryogenesis, Shoot and Biochemistry. His studies deal with areas such as Horticulture, Solanaceae, Organogenesis, Ploidy and Tissue culture as well as Botany. His Explant culture research incorporates elements of Hypocotyl, Zeatin and Cotyledon.

In his work, Genetic marker and Molecular marker is strongly intertwined with Somaclonal variation, which is a subfield of Somatic embryogenesis. His Shoot research incorporates elements of Auxin and Pera. His work on Gene isoform, 20-Hydroxyecdysone and Biosynthesis as part of general Biochemistry study is frequently connected to Tunicamycin and Steroid hormone, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His most cited work include:

  • Enhanced Accumulation of BiP in Transgenic Plants Confers Tolerance to Water Stress (191 citations)
  • Structure, organization, and functions of cellulose synthase complexes in higher plants (93 citations)
  • High-efficiency Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of citrus via sonication and vacuum infiltration. (86 citations)

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

Wagner Campos Otoni mainly investigates Botany, Horticulture, Explant culture, Shoot and Passiflora. His work in Botany tackles topics such as Micropropagation which are related to areas like Cytokinin. His studies deal with areas such as Eucalyptus and Sucrose as well as Horticulture.

His Explant culture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Hypocotyl, Zeatin and Cotyledon. His Somatic embryogenesis research includes themes of Somatic cell and Callus. Wagner Campos Otoni interconnects Photosynthesis and Secondary metabolism in the investigation of issues within Plant physiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (51.84%)
  • Horticulture (30.20%)
  • Explant culture (25.31%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Horticulture (30.20%)
  • Pfaffia glomerata (11.02%)
  • Botany (51.84%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Horticulture, Pfaffia glomerata, Botany, Plant physiology and Shoot. His Horticulture study incorporates themes from Explant culture, In vitro, Murashige and Skoog medium and Sucrose. His study in Explant culture is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Lecythis pisonis, Budding and Embryo.

His Botany study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Micropropagation. His Plant physiology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Apocarotenoid, Food science, Secondary metabolism and Methyltransferase. His work in the fields of Shoot, such as Meristem, intersects with other areas such as Hyperspectral imaging.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Advances in passion fruit (Passiflora spp.) propagation (12 citations)
  • Hydroalcoholic extract of Pfaffia glomerata alters the organization of the seminiferous tubules by modulating the oxidative state and the microstructural reorganization of the mice testes. (12 citations)
  • Blue and red light affects morphogenesis and 20-hydroxyecdisone content of in vitro Pfaffia glomerata accessions. (11 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Wagner Campos Otoni mostly deals with Pfaffia glomerata, Horticulture, Shoot, Passiflora and Bixa. The concepts of his Horticulture study are interwoven with issues in Murashige and Skoog medium, Plant tissue culture and Sucrose. Wagner Campos Otoni has researched Shoot in several fields, including Organogenesis and Arabidopsis.

His Passiflora research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Evolutionary biology, Passion fruit and RNA editing. His Bixa study also includes fields such as

  • Bixin which is related to area like Cultivar, Trichome, Hypocotyl and Explant culture,
  • Plastid which connect with Botany. Botany and Circadian clock are commonly linked in his work.
