Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Graham B. Seymour mainly investigates Ripening, Biochemistry, Botany, Gene and Gene expression. He usually deals with Ripening and limits it to topics linked to Mutant and Lycopersicon and Gel electrophoresis. In the field of Botany, his study on Solanum overlaps with subjects such as Climacteric.

His Solanum study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Solanum tuberosum, Solanum chilense and Ectopic expression. His Gene study is focused on Genetics in general. His study looks at the relationship between Gene expression and topics such as Regulation of gene expression, which overlap with Bilberry.

His most cited work include:

  • The tomato genome sequence provides insights into fleshy fruit evolution (1991 citations)
  • Biochemistry Of Fruit Ripening (868 citations)
  • A naturally occurring epigenetic mutation in a gene encoding an SBP-box transcription factor inhibits tomato fruit ripening. (821 citations)

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

Graham B. Seymour mainly focuses on Ripening, Biochemistry, Botany, Horticulture and Cell wall. His Ripening research includes elements of Lycopersicon, Mutant, Gene, Solanaceae and Pectinase. His Biochemistry course of study focuses on Molecular biology and Messenger RNA, Transgene, cDNA library and DNA.

His Solanum study, which is part of a larger body of work in Botany, is frequently linked to Climacteric, bridging the gap between disciplines. The concepts of his Solanum study are interwoven with issues in Genome and Genomics. His research in Cell wall intersects with topics in Pectin, Food science, Cellulose and Polysaccharide.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ripening (54.24%)
  • Biochemistry (31.36%)
  • Botany (30.51%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Ripening (54.24%)
  • Pectate lyase (6.78%)
  • Food science (11.86%)

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

Graham B. Seymour mostly deals with Ripening, Pectate lyase, Food science, Pectinase and Pectin. Research on Horticulture and Botany is a part of his Ripening study. His Flavor study in the realm of Food science interacts with subjects such as Cold storage.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Cellulose, CRISPR, Genetically modified tomato, Mutant and Cell wall in addition to Pectin. His Cell wall study is associated with Biochemistry. The Solanum study combines topics in areas such as Pathogen, Microbiology, Jasmonic acid and Transcriptome, WRKY protein domain.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Biochemistry Of Fruit Ripening (868 citations)
  • Fruit Softening: Revisiting the Role of Pectin. (112 citations)
  • Characterization of CRISPR Mutants Targeting Genes Modulating Pectin Degradation in Ripening Tomato. (36 citations)
