Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

His primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Locus, Gene, Cold acclimation and Vernalization. Gábor Galiba focuses mostly in the field of Genetics, narrowing it down to topics relating to Molecular biology and, in certain cases, Chromosome regions, Chloroplast and Chloroplast DNA. In his study, Allele, Candidate gene and Hordeum vulgare is strongly linked to Quantitative trait locus, which falls under the umbrella field of Locus.

Gábor Galiba integrates Cold acclimation with Frost in his study. His research in Vernalization tackles topics such as Vernalization response which are related to areas like Chromosome 9, Chromosome 7 and Restriction fragment length polymorphism. His work in Acclimatization addresses subjects such as Auxin, which are connected to disciplines such as Botany.

His most cited work include:

  • Osmotic and Salt Stress-Induced Alteration in Soluble Carbohydrate Content in Wheat Seedlings (331 citations)
  • RFLP mapping of the vernalization (Vrn1) and frost resistance (Fr1) genes on chromosome 5A of wheat. (308 citations)
  • Glutathione as an Antioxidant and Regulatory Molecule in Plants Under Abiotic Stress Conditions (257 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Genetics, Gene, Cold acclimation, Botany and Biochemistry. His study in Genetics focuses on Locus, Chromosome, Vernalization, Quantitative trait locus and Gene mapping. His Vernalization research includes elements of Adaptation and Vernalization response.

As part of the same scientific family, Gábor Galiba usually focuses on Quantitative trait locus, concentrating on Allele and intersecting with Candidate gene. With his scientific publications, his incorporates both Cold acclimation and Frost. His study in Botany is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Abscisic acid, Horticulture and Sucrose.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (37.11%)
  • Gene (40.88%)
  • Cold acclimation (41.51%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Gene (40.88%)
  • Gene expression (22.64%)
  • Biochemistry (33.33%)

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

His primary areas of study are Gene, Gene expression, Biochemistry, Glutathione and Genetics. His Gene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Dormancy and Metabolism. Gábor Galiba has researched Gene expression in several fields, including Botany, Hordeum vulgare, Transcription factor, Prunus dulcis and Cold acclimation.

His Cold acclimation study frequently links to other fields, such as Food science. His study in Glutathione is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Oxidative stress and Thiol. His work deals with themes such as Prunus and Prunus armeniaca, which intersect with Genetics.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • LED Lighting – Modification of Growth, Metabolism, Yield and Flour Composition in Wheat by Spectral Quality and Intensity (25 citations)
  • LED Lighting – Modification of Growth, Metabolism, Yield and Flour Composition in Wheat by Spectral Quality and Intensity (25 citations)
  • Relationship between SPAD value and grain yield can be affected by cultivar, environment and soil nitrogen content in wheat (24 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

Gábor Galiba mainly investigates Gene expression, Allele, Hordeum vulgare, Transcription factor and Cold acclimation. His work carried out in the field of Gene expression brings together such families of science as Phenotype, photoperiodism, Horticulture and Phenology. His Allele research includes elements of Biotechnology, Germplasm and Genetic diversity.

His studies deal with areas such as Gene and Phytochrome A as well as Hordeum vulgare. His Transcription factor research entails a greater understanding of Genetics.
