Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Photosynthesis
  • Biochemistry

Alexei Solovchenko mainly investigates Carotenoid, Botany, Chlorophyll, Biochemistry and Plant physiology. His studies in Carotenoid integrate themes in fields like Carotene, Chromatography, Dry weight and Nannochloropsis. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Nutrient and Horticulture.

His work carried out in the field of Chlorophyll brings together such families of science as Ripening, Lutein, Xanthophyll and Analytical chemistry. The concepts of his Biochemistry study are interwoven with issues in Absorbance and Metabolomics. Alexei Solovchenko interconnects Cell, Food science, Bioproducts and Haematococcus pluvialis, Astaxanthin in the investigation of issues within Plant physiology.

His most cited work include:

  • Effects of light intensity and nitrogen starvation on growth, total fatty acids and arachidonic acid in the green microalga Parietochloris incisa (261 citations)
  • Reflectance spectral features and non-destructive estimation of chlorophyll, carotenoid and anthocyanin content in apple fruit (249 citations)
  • Significance of skin flavonoids for UV‐B‐protection in apple fruits (179 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Photosynthesis, Carotenoid, Chlorophyll and Biochemistry. His research brings together the fields of Fatty acid and Botany. His study explores the link between Fatty acid and topics such as Food science that cross with problems in Parietochloris incisa.

In his study, Ultrastructure is strongly linked to Biophysics, which falls under the umbrella field of Photosynthesis. Alexei Solovchenko studied Carotenoid and Plant physiology that intersect with Haematococcus pluvialis. His Chlorophyll research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Antonovka, Malus, Anthocyanin, Ripening and Xanthophyll.

Alexei Solovchenko mainly investigates Photosynthesis, Biophysics, Ultrastructure, Biofertilizer and Photoprotection. His Photosynthesis research includes elements of Acclimatization and Chlorophyll. His biological study deals with issues like Algae, which deal with fields such as Phototroph, Cell and Biotechnology.

His research on Biofertilizer also deals with topics like

  • Chitosan that connect with fields like Biomass,
  • Phosphate, which have a strong connection to Environmental chemistry,
  • Wastewater that intertwine with fields like Heterotroph and Sewage treatment. His research in Biological system tackles topics such as Absorption spectroscopy which are related to areas like Carotenoid. The various areas that Alexei Solovchenko examines in his Carotenoid study include Chlorella and Fatty acid.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (4th edition) (38 citations)
  • Luxury phosphorus uptake in microalgae (21 citations)
  • Phosphorus starvation and luxury uptake in green microalgae revisited (16 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Photosynthesis
  • Biochemistry

Alexei Solovchenko focuses on Photosynthesis, Biochemistry, Ultrastructure, Nutrient and Photoprotection. His work deals with themes such as Biophysics, Chlorophyll and Canopy, which intersect with Photosynthesis. His studies examine the connections between Biophysics and genetics, as well as such issues in Acclimatization, with regards to Algae.

His Algae research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biotechnology and Biofertilizer. His study in Nutrient is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Glycolipid, Urea and Chlorella. Alexei Solovchenko usually deals with Photoprotection and limits it to topics linked to Photosystem and Astaxanthin.
