Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agriculture

Yitzchak Gutterman mainly investigates Botany, Germination, Annual plant, Seed dispersal and Mucilage. As part of one scientific family, Yitzchak Gutterman deals mainly with the area of Botany, narrowing it down to issues related to the Agronomy, and often Deserts and xeric shrublands. His study on Seed dormancy is often connected to Blepharis as part of broader study in Germination.

His Annual plant study combines topics in areas such as Porcupine, Ecological succession, Ecosystem and Growing season. His research investigates the connection between Seed dispersal and topics such as Plant physiology that intersect with issues in Diaspore, Seed dispersal syndrome, Plant ecology and Myrmecochory. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Arid and Soil crust.

His most cited work include:

  • Strategies of seed dispersal and germination in plants inhabiting deserts (232 citations)
  • Influence of light, temperature, salinity and storage on seed germination of Haloxylon ammodendron (154 citations)
  • The germination of mucilaginous seeds of t Plantago coronopus, Reboudia pinnata, and t Carrichtera annua on cyanobacterial soil crust from the Negev Desert (120 citations)

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

Germination, Botany, Agronomy, Annual plant and Horticulture are his primary areas of study. His studies deal with areas such as Soil crust, Biological dispersal and Seedling as well as Germination. His research in Botany intersects with topics in Arid and Seed dispersal.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Agronomy, Deserts and xeric shrublands are connected with Biomass and other disciplines. As a part of the same scientific study, Yitzchak Gutterman usually deals with the Annual plant, concentrating on Plantago coronopus and frequently concerns with Coronopus. His Horticulture research incorporates themes from Natural population growth and Pasture.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Germination (67.96%)
  • Botany (66.99%)
  • Agronomy (26.21%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2004-2020)?

  • Germination (67.96%)
  • Botany (66.99%)
  • Seedling (17.48%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Germination, Botany, Seedling, Agronomy and Biological dispersal. His Germination research includes themes of Mesembryanthemum nodiflorum and Plant physiology. He integrates many fields, such as Botany and Embryo, in his works.

He has included themes like Desiccation, Vegetation, Surface runoff, Corm and Dormancy in his Seedling study. His Biological dispersal study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Arid, Archaeology, Human settlement and Livestock. His Annual plant study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Seed dispersal.

Between 2004 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • INFLUENCES ON SEED GERMINABILITY: PHENOTYPIC MATERNAL EFFECTS DURING SEED MATURATION (68 citations)
  • Possible Role of Pectin-containing Mucilage and Dew in Repairing Embryo DNA of Seeds Adapted to Desert Conditions (63 citations)
  • Genetic basis of barley caryopsis dormancy and seedling desiccation tolerance at the germination stage (49 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agriculture

His primary areas of study are Germination, Botany, Caryopsis, Biological dispersal and Annual plant. His study in Germination is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Deserts and xeric shrublands and Plant physiology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Coleoptile and Ecotype in addition to Deserts and xeric shrublands.

His studies in Caryopsis integrate themes in fields like Hordeum vulgare, Dormancy, Desiccation tolerance and Seedling. Yitzchak Gutterman interconnects Inflorescence, Mesembryanthemum nodiflorum, Ornamental plant and Wet season in the investigation of issues within Biological dispersal. Yitzchak Gutterman performs integrative study on Annual plant and Maternal effect.
