Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Biochemistry
  • Botany
  • Photosynthesis

Her primary areas of investigation include Biochemistry, Singlet oxygen, Reactive oxygen species, Photochemistry and Photoinhibition. Her research in the fields of Antioxidant, Ascorbate glutathione cycle and APX overlaps with other disciplines such as Isozyme and Glutathione reductase. As a part of the same scientific family, she mostly works in the field of Singlet oxygen, focusing on Photosynthesis and, on occasion, Biophysics, Chloroplast and Synechocystis.

Her work in Reactive oxygen species tackles topics such as Oxidative stress which are related to areas like Nicotiana tabacum. The Photochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Radical, Quenching and Oxygen. Her Photoinhibition study combines topics in areas such as Thylakoid and Fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy.

Her most cited work include:

  • Rapid Induction of Distinct Stress Responses after the Release of Singlet Oxygen in Arabidopsis (624 citations)
  • The genetic basis of singlet oxygen-induced stress responses of Arabidopsis thaliana. (495 citations)
  • UV-B exposure, ROS, and stress: inseparable companions or loosely linked associates? (305 citations)

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

Éva Hideg spends much of her time researching Photochemistry, Singlet oxygen, Photosystem II, Photosynthesis and Reactive oxygen species. Her research in Photochemistry intersects with topics in Thylakoid, Chloroplast, Electron paramagnetic resonance, Oxygen and Radical. Éva Hideg combines subjects such as Photoinhibition, Photosensitizer, Amine gas treating and Rose bengal with her study of Singlet oxygen.

Her Photosystem II research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Photosynthetic reaction centre and Thermoluminescence. Her Photosynthesis research includes elements of Chlorophyll and Carotenoid. Éva Hideg interconnects Oxidative stress and Hydrogen peroxide in the investigation of issues within Reactive oxygen species.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Photochemistry (50.70%)
  • Singlet oxygen (35.92%)
  • Photosystem II (27.46%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Antioxidant (11.97%)
  • Photosynthesis (26.76%)
  • Flavonols (7.75%)

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

Éva Hideg mainly investigates Antioxidant, Photosynthesis, Flavonols, Flavonoid and Singlet oxygen. Her study in Antioxidant is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Hydrogen peroxide and Horticulture. In her study, Electron transport chain, Rose bengal, Photosensitizer and Photosystem is strongly linked to Chlorophyll, which falls under the umbrella field of Photosynthesis.

Her Flavonols research incorporates elements of Berry and Botany. The concepts of her Singlet oxygen study are interwoven with issues in Photochemistry and Reactive oxygen species. She has included themes like Photoinhibition, Myricetin and Food science in her Reactive oxygen species study.

Between 2013 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Comparative Evaluation of Total Antioxidant Capacities of Plant Polyphenols. (78 citations)
  • Singlet oxygen scavenging by leaf flavonoids contributes to sunlight acclimation in Tilia platyphyllos (52 citations)
  • Singlet oxygen scavenging by leaf flavonoids contributes to sunlight acclimation in Tilia platyphyllos (52 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Photosynthesis

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Flavonols, Kaempferol, Antioxidant and Food science. Her study in the fields of Carotenoid under the domain of Botany overlaps with other disciplines such as Context, Antheraxanthin and Violaxanthin. Her Flavonols study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Singlet oxygen, Myricetin, Photoinhibition and Reactive oxygen species.

Her Myricetin study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Photochemistry and Oxygen. Her Antioxidant research includes themes of Catechol, In vitro toxicology and Hydrogen peroxide. Her work carried out in the field of Food science brings together such families of science as Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity, Caftaric acid, Polyphenol, Biochemistry and Flavonoid.
