Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Biochemistry

His primary scientific interests are in Photosynthesis, Botany, Thylakoid, Photosynthetic capacity and Biochemistry. The various areas that Fernando C. Lidon examines in his Photosynthesis study include Nutrient, Shoot and Hordeum vulgare. His Botany research includes themes of Oxidative stress, Horticulture and Copper.

Fernando C. Lidon has included themes like Biophysics, Galactolipids, Stomatal conductance, Chlorophyll a and Membrane lipids in his Photosynthetic capacity study. His Stomatal conductance study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cytochrome b559, Antheraxanthin and Chlorophyll fluorescence. The Biochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Food science and Plant physiology.

His most cited work include:

  • Evaluation of Grain Filling Rate and Duration in Bread and Durum Wheat, under Heat Stress after Anthesis (153 citations)
  • Comparison of resistance to drought of three bean cultivars (126 citations)
  • Manganese accumulation in rice: implications for photosynthetic functioning. (113 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Photosynthesis, Horticulture, Botany, Biofortification and Agronomy. Fernando C. Lidon usually deals with Photosynthesis and limits it to topics linked to Thylakoid and Biophysics. His work in the fields of Horticulture, such as Coffea arabica, intersects with other areas such as Context.

The concepts of his Botany study are interwoven with issues in Actinorhizal plant, Frankia and Membrane permeability. Fernando C. Lidon focuses mostly in the field of Biofortification, narrowing it down to topics relating to Food science and, in certain cases, Roasting. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Agriculture and Nutrient, Plant nutrition.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Photosynthesis (29.81%)
  • Horticulture (26.92%)
  • Botany (27.40%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Horticulture (26.92%)
  • Biofortification (20.67%)
  • Context (12.50%)

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

Fernando C. Lidon mainly investigates Horticulture, Biofortification, Context, Agriculture and Photosynthesis. Fernando C. Lidon combines subjects such as Zinc and Calcium with his study of Horticulture. Fernando C. Lidon interconnects Biotechnology, Agronomy, Oryza sativa and Selenium in the investigation of issues within Biofortification.

As part of the same scientific family, Fernando C. Lidon usually focuses on Photosynthesis, concentrating on Coffea arabica and intersecting with Ploidy. His biological study deals with issues like Actinorhizal plant, which deal with fields such as Botany. The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Casuarina glauca and Polyunsaturated fatty acid.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • SELENIUM BIOFORTIFICATION OF RICE THROUGH FOLIAR APPLICATION WITH SELENITE AND SELENATE (14 citations)
  • Metal content in edible crops and agricultural soils due to intensive use of fertilizers and pesticides in Terras da Costa de Caparica (Portugal). (10 citations)
  • Lipid profile adjustments may contribute to warming acclimation and to heat impact mitigation by elevated [CO2] in Coffea spp (8 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

Fernando C. Lidon mostly deals with Horticulture, Nutrient, Biofortification, Acclimatization and Photosynthesis. His work on Transpiration expands to the thematically related Horticulture. His Nutrient study incorporates themes from Solanum tuberosum, Agronomy, Fertilizer and Sodium selenate.

His research in Biofortification intersects with topics in Biotechnology and Selenate. His work deals with themes such as AMAX, Food science, RuBisCO and Photosystem, which intersect with Acclimatization. His research in the fields of Water-use efficiency and Stomatal conductance overlaps with other disciplines such as Dietary intake.
