Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Horticulture

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Senescence, Biochemistry, Petal and Shoot. As part of his studies on Botany, he frequently links adjacent subjects like Horticulture. Abraham H. Halevy has included themes like Hormone, Flor, Endogeny and Calcium in his Senescence study.

His work deals with themes such as 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase and Sexual reproduction, which intersect with Petal. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Shoot, concentrating on Bud and intersecting with Rosa hybrida. His Wilting research integrates issues from 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid and Pedicel.

His most cited work include:

  • Senescence and Postharvest Physiology of Cut Flowers, Part 1 (240 citations)
  • Interorgan regulation of ethylene biosynthetic genes by pollination. (194 citations)
  • Factors influencing the production of hardened glaucous carnation plantlets in vitro (135 citations)

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

Botany, Horticulture, Petal, Shoot and Biochemistry are his primary areas of study. Abraham H. Halevy integrates several fields in his works, including Botany and Light intensity. The concepts of his Petal study are interwoven with issues in Carnation, Senescence, Rosaceae and Wilting.

His Shoot research incorporates themes from Rosa hybrida and Sucrose. His study focuses on the intersection of Biochemistry and fields such as Biophysics with connections in the field of EGTA. His Cut flowers research incorporates elements of Vase life and Postharvest.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (67.44%)
  • Horticulture (31.40%)
  • Petal (20.35%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1995-2013)?

  • Botany (67.44%)
  • Horticulture (31.40%)
  • Calcium (6.40%)

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

Abraham H. Halevy mainly focuses on Botany, Horticulture, Calcium, Biophysics and Antirrhinum majus. Cut flowers, Flower induction, Inflorescence and photoperiodism are the subjects of his Botany studies. As a part of the same scientific family, Abraham H. Halevy mostly works in the field of Cut flowers, focusing on Postharvest and, on occasion, Senescence, Vase life and Phalaenopsis.

His studies deal with areas such as Rosaceae and Petal as well as Calcium. His Petal study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Carnation, Biosynthesis and Function. His research integrates issues of EGTA, Biochemistry and BAPTA in his study of Biophysics.

Between 1995 and 2013, his most popular works were:

  • Senescence and Postharvest Physiology of Cut Flowers, Part 1 (240 citations)
  • Inhibition of the gravitropic response of snapdragon spikes by the calcium-channel blocker lanthanum chloride. (49 citations)
  • Calcium regulation of senescence in rose petals (47 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Horticulture

His main research concerns Horticulture, Botany, Paeonia lactiflora, Herbaceous plant and Dormancy. His Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Senescence and Calcium. His Calcium study incorporates themes from Cortex and Shoot.

Abraham H. Halevy combines subjects such as Bud and Greenhouse with his study of Herbaceous plant. His study explores the link between Postharvest and topics such as Rosaceae that cross with problems in Petal. His study looks at the intersection of Petal and topics like Biochemistry with Amyloplast and Biophysics.
