Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Horticulture
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Shoot, Xylem, Stomatal conductance and Agronomy. His work on Photosynthesis, Chlorophyll fluorescence and Rumex as part of general Botany research is frequently linked to Partial pressure, bridging the gap between disciplines. His studies deal with areas such as Vineyard, Cultivar, Vapour Pressure Deficit and Physiology as well as Xylem.

His studies in Stomatal conductance integrate themes in fields like Canopy and Ecophysiology. In general Agronomy study, his work on Irrigation often relates to the realm of Thermography, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His Irrigation study incorporates themes from Pruning and Transpiration.

His most cited work include:

  • Hormonal changes induced by partial rootzone drying of irrigated grapevine (464 citations)
  • Stomatal control by chemical signalling and the exploitation of this mechanism to increase water use efficiency in agriculture (389 citations)
  • Thermal infrared imaging of crop canopies for the remote diagnosis and quantification of plant responses to water stress in the field (336 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Stomatal conductance, Horticulture, Xylem and Agronomy. His Stomatal conductance research includes themes of Vitis vinifera, Shoot and Transpiration. He has researched Horticulture in several fields, including Deficit irrigation and Drip irrigation.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Vineyard, Osmotic pressure, Vapour Pressure Deficit and Root pressure. In most of his Agronomy studies, his work intersects topics such as Canopy. His Water-use efficiency study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Guard cell and Wine grape.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (61.54%)
  • Stomatal conductance (46.15%)
  • Horticulture (38.46%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2018)?

  • Horticulture (38.46%)
  • Stomatal conductance (46.15%)
  • Deficit irrigation (15.38%)

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

Brian Loveys mainly investigates Horticulture, Stomatal conductance, Deficit irrigation, Irrigation and Water content. In his research on the topic of Stomatal conductance, Xylem and Shoot is strongly related with Transpiration. His work focuses on many connections between Deficit irrigation and other disciplines, such as Drip irrigation, that overlap with his field of interest in Wine grape and Winemaking.

His Irrigation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Water use, Titratable acid and Pruning. Brian Loveys has included themes like Canopy and Agronomy in his Water content study. His Agronomy research includes themes of Soil texture, Vineyard and Ecophysiology.

Between 2006 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Thermal infrared imaging of crop canopies for the remote diagnosis and quantification of plant responses to water stress in the field (336 citations)
  • The relationship between the expression of abscisic acid biosynthesis genes, accumulation of abscisic acid and the promotion of Vitis vinifera L. berry ripening by abscisic acid. (179 citations)
  • Expression of ABA synthesis and metabolism genes under different irrigation strategies and atmospheric VPDs is associated with stomatal conductance in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L. cv Cabernet Sauvignon) (83 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Horticulture
  • Enzyme

His primary scientific interests are in Stomatal conductance, Water content, Botany, Berry and Veraison. Brian Loveys interconnects Irrigation, Catabolism, Vapour Pressure Deficit, Transpiration and Xylem in the investigation of issues within Stomatal conductance. His research in Water content intersects with topics in Canopy and Ecophysiology.

His Botany study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Horticulture. His study in Berry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sugar, Biochemistry and Biosynthesis. His studies deal with areas such as Petunidin and Anthocyanin as well as Veraison.
