Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Photosynthesis
  • Ecology

Fermín Morales spends much of his time researching Chlorophyll, Botany, Chlorophyll fluorescence, Iron deficiency and Photosynthesis. The subject of his Chlorophyll research is within the realm of Horticulture. His Botany study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Sugar beet.

The concepts of his Chlorophyll fluorescence study are interwoven with issues in Salinity and Photosynthetically active radiation. Fermín Morales studies Photosynthesis, focusing on Photosystem II in particular. His Photosystem II study combines topics in areas such as Photochemistry and RuBisCO.

His most cited work include:

  • Ultraviolet-induced fluorescence for plant monitoring: present state and prospects (218 citations)
  • Assessment of vineyard water status variability by thermal and multispectral imagery using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) (213 citations)
  • Imaging chlorophyll fluorescence with an airborne narrow-band multispectral camera for vegetation stress detection (199 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Botany, Photosynthesis, Chlorophyll, Horticulture and Iron deficiency. His work on Xanthophyll and Photosynthetic pigment as part of general Botany research is often related to Antheraxanthin and Violaxanthin, thus linking different fields of science. His Photosynthesis study which covers Evergreen that intersects with Quercus suber.

Fermín Morales studies Chlorophyll fluorescence, a branch of Chlorophyll. In his work, Savia and Organic acid is strongly intertwined with Xylem, which is a subfield of Iron deficiency. His Sugar beet research includes elements of Food science, Biochemistry, Chenopodiaceae and Epidermis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (42.11%)
  • Photosynthesis (45.26%)
  • Chlorophyll (35.79%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Horticulture (42.11%)
  • Photosynthesis (45.26%)
  • Agronomy (20.00%)

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

Fermín Morales mainly investigates Horticulture, Photosynthesis, Agronomy, Cutting and Nutrient. His Horticulture research incorporates themes from Sugar and Phenology. Fermín Morales incorporates Photosynthesis and Relative humidity in his research.

His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Gliadin and Gluten. His Cutting study also includes

  • Irrigation that connect with fields like Stomatal conductance,
  • Vegetative reproduction which is related to area like Pruning, Canopy, Shoot and Olive trees. His Soil water study incorporates themes from Chlorosis, Essential nutrient and Carbon fixation.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Tempranillo clones differ in the response of berry sugar and anthocyanin accumulation to elevated temperature. (26 citations)
  • Photosynthetic Metabolism under Stressful Growth Conditions as a Bases for Crop Breeding and Yield Improvement (23 citations)
  • Supplementary potassium and calcium improves salt tolerance in olive plants (8 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Enzyme

His main research concerns Agronomy, Nutrient, Horticulture, Cutting and Soil salinity. Fermín Morales combines subjects such as Arid and Photosynthesis, Stomatal conductance with his study of Agronomy. His work deals with themes such as Crop, Climate change, Plant growth, Assimilation and Acclimatization, which intersect with Nutrient.

The study of Horticulture is intertwined with the study of Sugar in a number of ways. The study incorporates disciplines such as Vegetative reproduction, Irrigation, Growing season and Climate change scenario in addition to Cutting. His Soil salinity research is under the purview of Salinity.
