Evans, John - The Australian National University

个人简介

John Evans gained his PhD in 1984 (ANU) under the supervision of Professor Graham Farquhar. After post doctoral fellowships in Cambridge (UK) at the Plant Breeding Institute and CSIRO Plant Industry (Canberra), he won a Queen Elizabeth II fellowship and returned to ANU in 1988. He was deputy CEO-Science for the CRC for Greenhouse Accounting (2003-2006), is a monitoring editor for Plant Physiology and on the editorial board of Plant, Cell & Environment. He is a highly cited plant physiologist whose research has focussed on photosynthesis.

研究领域

John Evans is a plant physiologist who has specialised in quantitatively linking biochemical and anatomical properties to the performance of leaves and plants. Photosynthesis research has been the focus throughout his career. His research has made significant impacts in three areas: 1.Relating photosynthesis to nitrogen 2.Quantifying the conductance to CO2 diffusion within leaves 3.Analysing how plants acclimate to their light environment.
