Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Horticulture
  • Biochemistry

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Shoot, Horticulture, Cytokinin and Xylem. His Lycopersicon and Plant physiology study in the realm of Botany connects with subjects such as Zeatin and Solanaceae. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Shoot, concentrating on Pisum and frequently concerns with Sativum, Apex, Epicotyl and Germination.

The Ripening, Malus and Controlled atmosphere research Fritz Bangerth does as part of his general Horticulture study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Cold storage, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. The Ripening study combines topics in areas such as Leafy, Cultivar and Respiration. His Xylem research incorporates elements of Apical dominance, Osmotic pressure and Exudate.

His most cited work include:

  • Calcium-Related Physiological Disorders of Plants (403 citations)
  • Rapid effects of nitrogen form on leaf morphogenesis in tobacco (291 citations)
  • Dominance among fruits/sinks and the search for a correlative signal (205 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Horticulture, Cytokinin, Abscisic acid and Zeatin. His work on Plant physiology, Shoot, Gibberellin and Lycopersicon is typically connected to Solanaceae as part of general Botany study, connecting several disciplines of science. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Callus under Gibberellin, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Biochemistry.

His Horticulture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Hormone and Agronomy. In Cultivar, Fritz Bangerth works on issues like Malus, which are connected to Ripening. His Xylem research integrates issues from Plant nutrition and Exudate.

He most often published in these fields:

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

Fritz Bangerth spends much of his time researching Horticulture, Botany, Flower induction, Food science and Cytokinin. His Yield research extends to the thematically linked field of Horticulture. His Botany study frequently links to other fields, such as Endogenous hormone.

His Food science research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biochemistry, Controlled atmosphere and Postharvest. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Indole-3-acetic acid and Cytokinin. His Shoot research includes themes of Lycopersicon and Exudate.

Between 2002 and 2012, his most popular works were:

  • Root-derived cytokinins as long-distance signals for NO3−-induced stimulation of leaf growth (187 citations)
  • Energy metabolism and membrane lipid alterations in relation to brown heart development in ‘Conference’ pears during delayed controlled atmosphere storage (103 citations)
  • Fatty acids as precursors for aroma volatile biosynthesis in pre-climacteric and climacteric apple fruit (94 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Horticulture
  • Biochemistry

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cytokinin, Botany, Fruit tree, Apex and Apical dominance. Combining a variety of fields, including Cytokinin, Shoot and Solanaceae, are what the author presents in his essays. The various areas that he examines in his Shoot study include Xylem, Lycopersicon and Exudate.

His research integrates issues of Food science, Biochemistry, Agronomy and Postharvest in his study of Fruit tree. Fritz Bangerth combines subjects such as Controlled atmosphere and Pera with his study of Biochemistry. He has included themes like Plant stem and Pisum in his Apex study.
