Antonio Ballester

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Botany
• Gene
• Ecology

His main research concerns Botany, Shoot, Explant culture, Quercus robur and Somatic embryogenesis. His Botany study incorporates themes from Sucrose, Auxin and Tissue culture. In his work, Hybrid and Root rot is strongly intertwined with Plantlet, which is a subfield of Shoot.

Antonio Ballester is interested in Micropropagation, which is a branch of Explant culture. While the research belongs to areas of Quercus robur, Antonio Ballester spends his time largely on the problem of Epicormic shoot, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Cytokinin, Subculture and Fagaceae. His Somatic embryogenesis study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Somaclonal variation, Germination and Callus.

His most cited work include:

• Bioremediation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene by bacterial nitroreductase expressing transgenic aspen. (110 citations)
• Proliferation, maturation and germination of Castanea sativa Mill. Somatic embryos originated from leaf explants. (75 citations)
• Anatomical and chemical studies of vitrified shoots of chestnut regenerated in vitro (74 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Somatic embryogenesis, Shoot, Explant culture and Horticulture. Antonio Ballester combines subjects such as Micropropagation and Tissue culture with his study of Botany. His studies in Somatic embryogenesis integrate themes in fields like Vegetative reproduction, Cryopreservation and Somatic cell.

Antonio Ballester interconnects In vitro, Juvenile, Basal shoot, Auxin and Quercus robur in the investigation of issues within Shoot. His Explant culture research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Epicormic shoot, Zeatin, Cytokinin and Apex. The various areas that Antonio Ballester examines in his Horticulture study include Woody plant, Crop and Sucrose.

He most often published in these fields:

• Botany (74.23%)
• Somatic embryogenesis (45.36%)
• Shoot (40.21%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2019)?

• Somatic embryogenesis (45.36%)
• Botany (74.23%)
• Explant culture (32.99%)

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

Antonio Ballester spends much of his time researching Somatic embryogenesis, Botany, Explant culture, Shoot and Vegetative reproduction. In his research on the topic of Somatic embryogenesis, Transformation efficiency and Plant disease resistance is strongly related with Genetically modified crops. He mostly deals with Germination in his studies of Botany.

His Explant culture research focuses on subjects like Auxin, which are linked to Picloram and Embryo. His Shoot research includes elements of Hypocotyl and Murashige and Skoog medium, Thidiazuron. His work is dedicated to discovering how Horticulture, Woody plant are connected with Eucalyptus and Sucrose and other disciplines.

Between 2013 and 2019, his most popular works were:

• Induction of somatic embryogenesis in explants of shoot cultures established from adult Eucalyptus globulus and E. saligna × E. maidenii trees (41 citations)
• Effect of thidiazuron on multiple shoot induction and plant regeneration from cotyledonary nodes of chestnut (29 citations)
• Micropropagation of mature Quercus ilex L. trees by axillary budding (18 citations)

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

• Botany
• Gene
• Ecology

Antonio Ballester mainly focuses on Botany, Explant culture, Shoot, Murashige and Skoog medium and Somatic embryogenesis. As part of his studies on Botany, Antonio Ballester often connects relevant subjects like Thidiazuron. Many of his studies on Explant culture apply to Epicotyl as well.

His studies deal with areas such as Micropropagation, Picloram, Zeatin and Budding as well as Murashige and Skoog medium. His research integrates issues of Subculture, Callus, Molecular biology, Genetically modified crops and Auxin in his study of Somatic embryogenesis.
