Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

His main research concerns Biochemistry, Arabidopsis, Gene, Enzyme and Ascorbic acid. His study in Biochemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Anti-inflammatory, Food science and Inflammation Process. His work deals with themes such as Arabidopsis thaliana and Galactose, which intersect with Arabidopsis.

His research on Gene often connects related topics like Molecular biology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Oxygenase, Carbon fixation and Glycine. His Regulation of gene expression research incorporates elements of Vector, Cloning vector, Computational biology and Expression vector.

His most cited work include:

  • Transient expression vectors for functional genomics, quantification of promoter activity and RNA silencing in plants (762 citations)
  • Regulation of Soybean Net Photosynthetic CO2 Fixation by the Interaction of CO2, O2, and Ribulose 1,5-Diphosphate Carboxylase (594 citations)
  • MYB transcription factors that colour our fruit (414 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Biochemistry, Enzyme, Botany, Gene and Photosynthesis. His studies link Molecular biology with Biochemistry. His Gene study introduces a deeper knowledge of Genetics.

His Photosynthesis study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Animal science and Horticulture. While the research belongs to areas of Photoinhibition, William A. Laing spends his time largely on the problem of Actinidia deliciosa, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Actinidia chinensis. In Ribulose, William A. Laing works on issues like Catalysis, which are connected to RuBisCO.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (52.00%)
  • Enzyme (18.40%)
  • Botany (16.80%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Biochemistry (52.00%)
  • Vitamin C (8.00%)
  • Food science (6.40%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Biochemistry, Vitamin C, Food science, Glycogen phosphorylase and Gene. Biosynthesis, Enzyme, Oleic acid, Fatty acid and Polyunsaturated fatty acid are among the areas of Biochemistry where the researcher is concentrating his efforts. His research integrates issues of Botany, Arabidopsis and Horticulture in his study of Vitamin C.

His Food science study combines topics in areas such as Anti-inflammatory, Proanthocyanidin, Malus and Terpene. His Glycogen phosphorylase research integrates issues from Arabidopsis thaliana, Galactose, Polynucleotide, Plant cell and Regulation of gene expression. His Gene study results in a more complete grasp of Genetics.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Enhancing ascorbate in fruits and tubers through over‐expression of the l‐galactose pathway gene GDP‐l‐galactose phosphorylase (141 citations)
  • An Upstream Open Reading Frame Is Essential for Feedback Regulation of Ascorbate Biosynthesis in Arabidopsis (106 citations)
  • Dietary Flavonoids from Modified Apple Reduce Inflammation Markers and Modulate Gut Microbiota in Mice (105 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Amino acid

William A. Laing mainly investigates Biochemistry, Malus, Food science, Arabidopsis and Vitamin C. His research on Biochemistry often connects related areas such as Betulinic acid. William A. Laing has included themes like Quantitative trait locus, Marker-assisted selection, Flavonols, Leucoanthocyanidin reductase and Phenylpropanoid in his Malus study.

William A. Laing interconnects Arabidopsis thaliana, Plant Physiological Phenomena, Botany, Biotechnology and Abiotic stress in the investigation of issues within Arabidopsis. The various areas that he examines in his Botany study include Polyphenol, Galactose and Horticulture. William A. Laing combines subjects such as Glycogen phosphorylase, Enzyme assay, Human nutrition and Antioxidant with his study of Vitamin C.
