Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Gene

His primary areas of study are Horticulture, Botany, Ripening, Fragaria and Postharvest. His Horticulture research is mostly focused on the topic Rosaceae. Within one scientific family, Gustavo A. Martínez focuses on topics pertaining to Peroxidase under Botany, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Superoxide dismutase.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Ripening, Pectinase are connected with Food science and Pectin and other disciplines. The concepts of his Fragaria study are interwoven with issues in Botrytis cinerea, Enzyme assay, Biochemistry and Gene expression. Gustavo A. Martínez combines subjects such as Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, Anthocyanin and Chlorophyllase with his study of Postharvest.

His most cited work include:

  • UV-C treatment delays postharvest senescence in broccoli florets (219 citations)
  • UV-C treatments reduce decay, retain quality and alleviate chilling injury in pepper (169 citations)
  • Combined use of UV‐C irradiation and heat treatment to improve postharvest life of strawberry fruit (143 citations)

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

Gustavo A. Martínez spends much of his time researching Postharvest, Horticulture, Ripening, Botany and Biochemistry. His work carried out in the field of Postharvest brings together such families of science as Chlorophyll, Food science, Shelf life, Senescence and Brassica oleracea. Gustavo A. Martínez interconnects Sugar, Legume, Agronomy and Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase in the investigation of issues within Horticulture.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Cultivar, Cell wall, Auxin and Fragaria in addition to Ripening. His Fragaria research incorporates themes from Cell wall disassembly, Pectinase, Achene, Peroxidase and Rosaceae. His work on Respiration rate and Carotenoid as part of general Botany research is often related to Softening and Time of day, thus linking different fields of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Postharvest (65.24%)
  • Horticulture (51.22%)
  • Ripening (49.39%)

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

  • Postharvest (65.24%)
  • Horticulture (51.22%)
  • Food science (23.17%)

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

Postharvest, Horticulture, Food science, Brassica oleracea and Senescence are his primary areas of study. Gustavo A. Martínez has included themes like Chlorophyll, Gene expression and Carotenoid in his Postharvest study. His Chlorophyll research includes themes of Photosynthesis and Biochemistry.

His work on Ripening as part of his general Horticulture study is frequently connected to Ethephon, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His biological study deals with issues like Metabolism, which deal with fields such as Fragaria, Pectinase, Peroxidase and Pectin. His study looks at the relationship between Senescence and topics such as Chlorophyll b, which overlap with Enzyme, Reductase and Modified atmosphere.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Calcium chloride treatment modifies cell wall metabolism and activates defense responses in strawberry fruit (Fragaria × ananassa, Duch). (12 citations)
  • Calcium chloride treatment modifies cell wall metabolism and activates defense responses in strawberry fruit (Fragaria × ananassa, Duch). (12 citations)
  • Effects of hormonal and physical treatments on the expression of a putative chlorophyll b reductase gene (BoNYC1) during postharvest senescence of broccoli (9 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Gene

Gustavo A. Martínez mainly investigates Botrytis cinerea, Postharvest, Horticulture, Callose and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. The Botrytis cinerea study combines topics in areas such as Peroxidase, Pectin, Pectinase and Cell wall. His Postharvest study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Modified atmosphere, Reductase, Enzyme, Senescence and Chlorophyll a.

Horticulture is closely attributed to Sugar in his research. His Callose study typically links adjacent topics like Microbiology.
