Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Argelia Lorence investigates plant biology, focusing on genetic and physiological responses to environmental conditions. Her recent work has explored the biosynthesis of ascorbate in plants, specifically examining the role of the enzyme Arabidopsis Gluconolactonase and its localization within chloroplasts in protecting plants from light stress. Lorence has also studied natural genetic variations affecting rice grain weight, particularly under conditions of elevated night-time temperatures.
Her research also extends to the development and application of high-throughput plant phenotyping technologies. This includes work on the PlantCV software, an image analysis tool designed for this purpose, and the infrastructure required for studying plant responses to environmental stressors like high night air temperatures in irrigated rice systems. Lorence is also involved in the application of DNA barcoding for quality control of herbal drugs and their derived phytopharmaceuticals.
Lorence holds a strong publication record, with 76 total publications and a citation count of 2,731, reflecting her recognition as a highly cited researcher. She actively collaborates with researchers at Arkansas State University, including Karina Medina‐Jiménez, Shannon S Cunningham, and Zachary C. Campbell, as well as Cherryl Quiñones from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
