What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

Walter J. Horst mainly focuses on Botany, Callose, Horticulture, Apoplast and Cell wall. Walter J. Horst has included themes like Organic acid and Aluminium in his Botany study. His work in Callose addresses issues such as Biophysics, which are connected to fields such as Pectic matrix.

His research in Horticulture is mostly concerned with Cultivar. His Apoplast course of study focuses on Toxicity and Manganese, Silicon and High yielding. The subject of his Cell wall research is within the realm of Biochemistry.

His most cited work include:

  • Effect of aluminium on lipid peroxidation, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase activities in root tips of soybean (Glycine max) (1176 citations)
  • Functions of macronutrients (406 citations)
  • Root-induced changes in the rhizosphere: Importance for the mineral nutrition of plants (387 citations)

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

Walter J. Horst spends much of his time researching Botany, Agronomy, Horticulture, Cultivar and Apoplast. His studies examine the connections between Botany and genetics, as well as such issues in Toxicity, with regards to Organic acid. His Agronomy research incorporates themes from Plant physiology, Soil pH and Nitrogen.

The various areas that he examines in his Horticulture study include Ammonium, Aluminium and Genotype. As a part of the same scientific study, Walter J. Horst usually deals with the Cultivar, concentrating on Shoot and frequently concerns with Dry matter and Vegetative reproduction. The study incorporates disciplines such as Peroxidase, Plant nutrition and Xylem in addition to Apoplast.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (40.65%)
  • Agronomy (35.51%)
  • Horticulture (29.91%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2018)?

  • Botany (40.65%)
  • Agronomy (35.51%)
  • Cultivar (24.30%)

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

Botany, Agronomy, Cultivar, Nitrogen and Biochemistry are his primary areas of study. Botany and Gene are commonly linked in his work. The study of Agronomy is intertwined with the study of Nutrient in a number of ways.

The various areas that Walter J. Horst examines in his Cultivar study include Brassica and Field experiment. His research investigates the connection between Phytotoxicity and topics such as Soil conditioner that intersect with problems in Horticulture. His Phaseolus research includes elements of Silicon, Manganese and Toxicity.

Between 2010 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Functions of macronutrients (406 citations)
  • TAA1-Regulated Local Auxin Biosynthesis in the Root-Apex Transition Zone Mediates the Aluminum-Induced Inhibition of Root Growth in Arabidopsis (102 citations)
  • Adaptation of Plants to Adverse Chemical Soil Conditions (97 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

Walter J. Horst mainly investigates Agronomy, Nutrient, Cultivar, Cell wall and Biochemistry. Walter J. Horst combines subjects such as Horticulture and Nitrogen with his study of Agronomy. His studies in Horticulture integrate themes in fields like Isotopes of zinc, Toxicity and Soil conditioner.

His Cultivar study incorporates themes from High nitrogen, Plant traits, Yield and Shoot. In Photosynthesis, Walter J. Horst works on issues like Amino acid, which are connected to Botany. The concepts of his Botany study are interwoven with issues in Arabidopsis thaliana and Osmotic shock.
