Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Horticulture
  • Enzyme

Carl E. Sams spends much of his time researching Botany, Postharvest, Calcium, Horticulture and Malus. His Brassica oleracea, Microgreen and Sprouting study in the realm of Botany connects with subjects such as Blue light and Light-emitting diode. Carl E. Sams has included themes like Food science and Agronomy in his Postharvest study.

The Calcium study combines topics in areas such as Botrytis cinerea and Nitrogen. Carl E. Sams regularly links together related areas like Secondary metabolite in his Horticulture studies. His research in Malus intersects with topics in Calcium uptake and Epicuticular wax.

His most cited work include:

  • Preharvest factors affecting postharvest texture (219 citations)
  • Seed quality QTL in a prominent soybean population. (203 citations)
  • Physicochemical properties and bioactivity of fungal chitin and chitosan. (187 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Horticulture, Botany, Agronomy, Calcium and Postharvest. His research on Horticulture often connects related topics like Soybean oil. Carotenoid, Glucosinolate, Brassica, Brassica oleracea and Chlorophyll are among the areas of Botany where Carl E. Sams concentrates his study.

His study in Agronomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Photosynthesis, Loam, Nutrient and Boron. His Calcium research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Penicillium expansum, Botrytis cinerea, Food science and Cell wall. Postharvest is closely attributed to Epicuticular wax in his research.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Horticulture (44.16%)
  • Botany (31.60%)
  • Agronomy (27.27%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Horticulture (44.16%)
  • Agronomy (27.27%)
  • Botany (31.60%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Horticulture, Agronomy, Botany, Carotenoid and Shoot. His Horticulture study incorporates themes from Photosynthesis, Calcium, Nutrient and Zeaxanthin. Phosphorus is closely connected to Potassium in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Calcium.

The concepts of his Agronomy study are interwoven with issues in Soil biodiversity and Pepper. In general Botany study, his work on Sprouting often relates to the realm of Light-emitting diode, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His Carotenoid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Hydroponics, Chlorophyll, Abscisic acid and Animal science.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Increases in Shoot Tissue Pigments, Glucosinolates, and Mineral Elements in Sprouting Broccoli after Exposure to Short-duration Blue Light from Light Emitting Diodes (101 citations)
  • Sprouting Broccoli Accumulate Higher Concentrations of Nutritionally Important Metabolites under Narrow-band Light-emitting Diode Lighting (42 citations)
  • Selenium influences glucosinolate and isothiocyanates and increases sulfur uptake in Arabidopsis thaliana and rapid-cycling Brassica oleracea. (41 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Horticulture
  • Enzyme

Carl E. Sams spends much of his time researching Botany, Agronomy, Horticulture, Carotenoid and Pigment. His work on Sprouting as part of general Botany research is often related to Light-emitting diode, thus linking different fields of science. In his research on the topic of Agronomy, Carbon and Rotation system is strongly related with Pepper.

His Horticulture study frequently involves adjacent topics like Growing season. His Carotenoid study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Proline, Chlorophyll and Genotype. His Pigment study combines topics in areas such as Zeaxanthin and Shoot.
