Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Ecology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Xylem, Shoot, Biochemistry and Apoplast. Specifically, his work in Botany is concerned with the study of Photosynthesis. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Endodermis, Phloem and Savia.

As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Shoot, focusing on Transpiration and, on occasion, Agronomy, Stomatal conductance and Petiole. His Biochemistry study incorporates themes from Biophysics, Turgor pressure, Cell biology and Hordeum vulgare. His studies in Apoplast integrate themes in fields like Exodermis, Signal transduction, Metabolism and Cytosol.

His most cited work include:

  • Activation of Glucosidase via Stress-Induced Polymerization Rapidly Increases Active Pools of Abscisic Acid (476 citations)
  • The stomatal response to reduced relative humidity requires guard cell-autonomous ABA synthesis. (311 citations)
  • The exodermis: a variable apoplastic barrier (297 citations)

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

Wolfram Hartung mainly investigates Botany, Xylem, Biochemistry, Shoot and Phloem. He combines subjects such as Biophysics and Horticulture with his study of Botany. His Xylem research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Agronomy, Rhinanthus, Nutrient, Rhinanthus minor and Transpiration.

Wolfram Hartung studied Biochemistry and Valerianella that intersect with Membrane transport. His Shoot research includes elements of Plant stem and Salinity. His work deals with themes such as Vascular bundle, Plant nutrition and Nitrate, which intersect with Phloem.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (64.04%)
  • Xylem (34.83%)
  • Biochemistry (26.97%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2004-2018)?

  • Botany (64.04%)
  • Xylem (34.83%)
  • Shoot (20.22%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Xylem, Shoot, Agronomy and Transpiration. His research integrates issues of Rhinanthus minor and Horticulture in his study of Botany. He works mostly in the field of Xylem, limiting it down to concerns involving Phloem and, occasionally, Hordeum vulgare and Variovorax paradoxus.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Cambium and Populus × canescens in addition to Shoot. His Agronomy research incorporates elements of Petiole and Embolism. In his research, Turgor pressure, Phloem transport and Hydraulic conductivity is intimately related to Stomatal conductance, which falls under the overarching field of Transpiration.

Between 2004 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Activation of Glucosidase via Stress-Induced Polymerization Rapidly Increases Active Pools of Abscisic Acid (476 citations)
  • The stomatal response to reduced relative humidity requires guard cell-autonomous ABA synthesis. (311 citations)
  • Long-distance ABA Signaling and Its Relation to Other Signaling Pathways in the Detection of Soil Drying and the Mediation of the Plant’s Response to Drought (267 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Ecology

Wolfram Hartung mainly focuses on Botany, Shoot, Xylem, Arabidopsis and Agronomy. His Biophysics research extends to Botany, which is thematically connected. His Shoot research includes themes of Fructose, Salinity, Osmotic pressure and Sucrose.

His studies deal with areas such as Signal transduction and Apoplast as well as Xylem. His work carried out in the field of Arabidopsis brings together such families of science as Arabidopsis thaliana, Horticulture and Stomatal conductance. His studies in Agronomy integrate themes in fields like Hydraulic conductivity, Dehydration, Phloem transport and Transpiration.
