Overview

Wouter G. van Doorn was affiliated with the University of California, Davis in the United States. Their research primarily focused on areas spanning Agricultural and Biological Sciences as well as Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology. Within these broad fields, their work included subfields such as Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, Plant Science, and Molecular Biology.

Their notable research topics covered Plant and Animal Studies, Plant Molecular Biology Research, and Plant Reproductive Biology. These areas reflect a specialization in understanding biological processes related to plant growth, reproduction, and molecular mechanisms.

Van Doorn contributed to scientific literature with publications including:

  • Dendrobium orchids carrying antisense ACC oxidase: small changes in flower morphology and a delay of bud abortion, flower senescence, and abscission of flowers (2020, Transgenic Research)

This publication investigated the impact of genetic modulation on flower development and senescence processes in orchids.

Throughout their career, van Doorn collaborated frequently with several coauthors, including:

  • Piyanuch Sornchai
  • Wachiraya Imsabai
  • Parichart Burns
  • Sermsiri Chanprame

Their work appeared primarily in the journal Transgenic Research, which served as a venue for at least one of their publications.
