Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

His main research concerns Botany, Genetics, Solanum, Biochemistry and Gene. His biological study focuses on Ripening. Antonio Granell works mostly in the field of Gene, limiting it down to concerns involving Cell biology and, occasionally, Anthesis, Gibberellin, Antirrhinum majus, Genetically modified tomato and Tobacco rattle virus.

His Arabidopsis study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Gene silencing, Transcription factor and Abiotic stress. The study incorporates disciplines such as Annotation, Computational biology and GenBank in addition to Genome. His Genomics study combines topics in areas such as Solanum chilense, Wild tomato, Solanum tuberosum, Solanum pimpinellifolium and Neofunctionalization.

His most cited work include:

  • The tomato genome sequence provides insights into fleshy fruit evolution (1991 citations)
  • A chemical genetic roadmap to improved tomato flavor (241 citations)
  • Uniform ripening encodes a Golden 2-like transcription factor regulating tomato fruit chloroplast development. (220 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Biochemistry, Gene, Horticulture and Genetics. His Botany research incorporates themes from Quantitative trait locus and Arabidopsis. The various areas that he examines in his Gene study include Computational biology and Cell biology.

Antonio Granell focuses mostly in the field of Ripening, narrowing it down to topics relating to Aroma and, in certain cases, Carotenoid. Antonio Granell specializes in Genome, namely Genomics. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Wild tomato and Solanum.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (34.92%)
  • Biochemistry (21.16%)
  • Gene (18.52%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Horticulture (14.29%)
  • CRISPR (4.23%)
  • Gene (18.52%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Horticulture, CRISPR, Gene, Computational biology and Cas9. His study in Horticulture concentrates on Flesh, Cultivar, Solanum and Orange. His studies in Solanum integrate themes in fields like Abscisic acid, Oxidase test, Wild type, Nitrate reductase and Metabolism.

His study explores the link between CRISPR and topics such as Arabidopsis thaliana that cross with problems in Arabidopsis. The Gene study combines topics in areas such as Anthocyanin and Synthetic biology. His Computational biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cloning and Regulation of gene expression.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Volatile Compounds in Citrus Essential Oils: A Comprehensive Review (61 citations)
  • Assessment of Cas12a‐mediated gene editing efficiency in plants (36 citations)
  • Strong gene activation in plants with genome-wide specificity using a new orthogonal CRISPR/Cas9-based programmable transcriptional activator. (18 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

His primary areas of investigation include Nicotiana benthamiana, Computational biology, Cas9, CRISPR and Synthetic biology. His study in Nicotiana benthamiana is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Gene expression, Veraison, Botrytis cinerea, Efflux and Heterologous expression. The Cas9 study combines topics in areas such as Genome editing and Arabidopsis thaliana.

Antonio Granell is exploring Genome editing as part of his Genetics and Genome and Genome editing studies. His Arabidopsis thaliana research integrates issues from Cloning, Arabidopsis and Transgene. He studied Synthetic biology and Gene that intersect with Function.
