Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Horticulture
  • Irrigation

Arturo Torrecillas spends much of his time researching Horticulture, Irrigation, Botany, Turgor pressure and Deficit irrigation. His studies in Horticulture integrate themes in fields like Photosynthesis and Agronomy. His Irrigation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Fruit tree and Orange.

Cultivar is the focus of his Botany research. His Turgor pressure study combines topics in areas such as Xylem and Osmoregulation. His Deficit irrigation research incorporates elements of Trunk and Shoot.

His most cited work include:

  • High temperature effects on photosynthetic activity of two tomato cultivars with different heat susceptibility. (318 citations)
  • High temperature effects on photosynthetic activity of two tomato cultivars with different heat susceptibility. (318 citations)
  • Effects of water stress and night temperature preconditioning on water relations and morphological and anatomical changes of Lotus creticus plants (141 citations)

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

His main research concerns Horticulture, Irrigation, Botany, Deficit irrigation and Agronomy. Arturo Torrecillas has included themes like Stomatal conductance and Transpiration in his Horticulture study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Water stress, Trunk, Vapour Pressure Deficit and Orchard.

The Botany study which covers Orange that intersects with Drought stress. His study on Deficit irrigation also encompasses disciplines like

  • Yield which is related to area like Crop,
  • Water potential most often made with reference to Drip irrigation. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ripening, Leaf water and Water resources.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Horticulture (85.19%)
  • Irrigation (55.56%)
  • Botany (50.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

  • Horticulture (85.19%)
  • Deficit irrigation (35.80%)
  • Irrigation (55.56%)

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

Horticulture, Deficit irrigation, Irrigation, Water stress and Agricultural engineering are his primary areas of study. His work deals with themes such as Water content and Apoplast, which intersect with Horticulture. The Deficit irrigation study combines topics in areas such as Crop, Punica, Crop yield, Yield and Orchard.

Arturo Torrecillas usually deals with Punica and limits it to topics linked to Water resources and Agronomy. His Irrigation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ripening, Preharvest and Drought tolerance. His Drought tolerance study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Hydraulic conductivity, Turgor pressure and Absorption of water.

Between 2016 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Deficit irrigation and emerging fruit crops as a strategy to save water in Mediterranean semiarid agrosystems (44 citations)
  • Inhibition of α-glucosidase and α-amylase by Spanish extra virgin olive oils: The involvement of bioactive compounds other than oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol (30 citations)
  • Water stress at the end of the pomegranate fruit ripening stage produces earlier harvest and improves fruit quality (14 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Horticulture
  • Irrigation

His primary scientific interests are in Deficit irrigation, Irrigation, Horticulture, Postharvest and Water stress. His Deficit irrigation study introduces a deeper knowledge of Agronomy. His work in Irrigation is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Crop.

The various areas that Arturo Torrecillas examines in his Crop study include Greenhouse, Cultivar, Sugar, Inflorescence and Yield. His Postharvest research includes themes of Trunk and Orchard. His research in Water stress intersects with topics in Quality characteristics and Water deficit.
