Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Botany

His primary scientific interests are in Lignin, Biochemistry, Cell wall, Mutant and Genetics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Forage and Poaceae in addition to Lignin. His research investigates the connection between Poaceae and topics such as Silage that intersect with problems in Quantitative trait locus.

His study in Arabidopsis and Arabidopsis thaliana falls within the category of Biochemistry. As a member of one scientific family, Yves Barrière mostly works in the field of Cell wall, focusing on Ferulic acid and, on occasion, Recombinant DNA, Stalk and Pith. The Plant composition and Fodder crops research Yves Barrière does as part of his general Botany study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Production quality, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

His most cited work include:

  • Genetic and molecular basis of grass cell-wall degradability. I. Lignin-cell wall matrix interactions. (229 citations)
  • Both caffeoyl Coenzyme A 3-O-methyltransferase 1 and caffeic acid O-methyltransferase 1 are involved in redundant functions for lignin, flavonoids and sinapoyl malate biosynthesis in Arabidopsis (199 citations)
  • Down-Regulation of Caffeic Acid O-Methyltransferase in Maize Revisited Using a Transgenic Approach (160 citations)

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

Yves Barrière spends much of his time researching Lignin, Silage, Botany, Cell wall and Agronomy. His Lignin study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Quantitative trait locus, Biochemistry, Gene, Ferulic acid and Arabidopsis. His work on Mutant as part of general Biochemistry study is frequently linked to Caffeic acid, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His work deals with themes such as Dairy cattle, Poaceae, Hybrid and Genetic variation, which intersect with Silage. The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Zea mays and Food science. His Cell wall study combines topics in areas such as Cellulose, Inbred strain and Polysaccharide.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Lignin (34.65%)
  • Silage (32.28%)
  • Botany (31.50%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2018)?

  • Lignin (34.65%)
  • Gene (20.47%)
  • Cell wall (26.77%)

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

His main research concerns Lignin, Gene, Cell wall, Quantitative trait locus and Botany. He focuses mostly in the field of Lignin, narrowing it down to matters related to Biofuel and, in some cases, Agroforestry. His study in the field of Genome and Arabidopsis also crosses realms of Monolignol.

Cell wall is a subfield of Biochemistry that Yves Barrière tackles. The concepts of his Quantitative trait locus study are interwoven with issues in Genomics, Genetic linkage, Allele and Candidate gene. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Silage, Animal science and Staining.

Between 2008 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Characterization of a cinnamoyl-CoA reductase 1 (CCR1) mutant in maize: effects on lignification, fibre development, and global gene expression (78 citations)
  • Meta-analysis of QTL involved in silage quality of maize and comparison with the position of candidate genes. (70 citations)
  • Impact of lignin structure and cell wall reticulation on maize cell wall degradability (55 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Botany

His scientific interests lie mostly in Lignin, Cell wall, Biochemistry, Quantitative trait locus and Ferulic acid. His Lignin study results in a more complete grasp of Botany. His work in the fields of Botany, such as Neutral Detergent Fiber and Root system, overlaps with other areas such as Phenylpropanoid.

While the research belongs to areas of Cell wall, he spends his time largely on the problem of Inbred strain, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Coumaric acid, Acid content and Plant stem. His research in Biochemistry is mostly focused on Mutant. His research on Quantitative trait locus also deals with topics like

  • Candidate gene, which have a strong connection to Silage,
  • Genetic variation and related Gene–environment interaction, Genotype, Allele, Agronomy and Poaceae.
