Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Biochemistry, Solanaceae, Nicotiana tabacum, Ripening and Cell wall are his primary areas of study. His study in Spermine, Spermidine, Plant cell and Amino acid falls within the category of Biochemistry. Avtar K. Handa has included themes like Osmotic pressure and Protein biosynthesis in his Solanaceae study.

His studies in Nicotiana tabacum integrate themes in fields like Intracellular, Botany and Tissue culture. His Ripening research includes themes of Genetically modified tomato and Pectin. In his work, Transgene, Cation binding and Enzyme is strongly intertwined with Lycopersicon, which is a subfield of Pectin.

His most cited work include:

  • Chemistry and uses of pectin--a review. (943 citations)
  • Characterization of osmotin : a thaumatin-like protein associated with osmotic adaptation in plant cells. (380 citations)
  • Engineered polyamine accumulation in tomato enhances phytonutrient content, juice quality, and vine life. (302 citations)

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

Avtar K. Handa mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Ripening, Horticulture, Lycopersicon and Botany. His Spermine, Spermidine, Polyamine, Enzyme and Solanaceae study are his primary interests in Biochemistry. His work carried out in the field of Solanaceae brings together such families of science as Nicotiana tabacum and Tissue culture.

His Ripening research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Gene expression, Transgene, Genetically modified tomato, Pectin and Complementary DNA. Pectin is closely attributed to Cell wall in his study. His Lycopersicon study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Pectinase, Pectinesterase and Polyethylene glycol.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (36.59%)
  • Ripening (26.83%)
  • Horticulture (13.41%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Agroforestry (9.76%)
  • Biochemistry (36.59%)
  • Spermidine (11.59%)

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

Avtar K. Handa mostly deals with Agroforestry, Biochemistry, Spermidine, Polyamine and Putrescine. His work on Jatropha curcas expands to the thematically related Biochemistry. His Spermidine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Transgene and Spermine.

The Polyamine study combines topics in areas such as Catabolism, Biotechnology, Metabolomics and Ornithine. His Putrescine study incorporates themes from RNA, Transcription and Protein biosynthesis. His research in Genetically modified tomato tackles topics such as Solanum which are related to areas like Ripening.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Critical roles of DNA demethylation in the activation of ripening-induced genes and inhibition of ripening-repressed genes in tomato fruit (133 citations)
  • Polyamines: Bio-Molecules with Diverse Functions in Plant and Human Health and Disease. (78 citations)
  • Pathogenesis-Related Protein 1b1 (PR1b1) Is a Major Tomato Fruit Protein Responsive to Chilling Temperature and Upregulated in High Polyamine Transgenic Genotypes (21 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Avtar K. Handa spends much of his time researching Putrescine, Polyamine, Spermidine, Gene and Spermine. His Putrescine research is included under the broader classification of Biochemistry. While working in this field, Avtar K. Handa studies both Biochemistry and ARG2.

His research in Polyamine intersects with topics in Methyl jasmonate and Metabolomics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Genetically modified tomato, Salicylic acid, Biotechnology, Pathogenesis-related protein and Innate immune system. The concepts of his Mutant study are interwoven with issues in DNA demethylation, DNA and Demethylase.
