Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Gene

Javier Abadía mainly focuses on Botany, Iron deficiency, Chlorophyll, Photosynthesis and Horticulture. His research investigates the connection between Botany and topics such as Sugar beet that intersect with issues in Electron transport chain. Iron deficiency is a subfield of Biochemistry that Javier Abadía tackles.

His study of Chlorophyll fluorescence is a part of Chlorophyll. Javier Abadía studies Photosynthesis, namely Photosystem II. Javier Abadía focuses mostly in the field of Chlorosis, narrowing it down to matters related to Fruit tree and, in some cases, PEAR, Agronomy, Dry weight, Pyrus communis and Rosaceae.

His most cited work include:

  • Function of iron in chloroplasts (251 citations)
  • Cadmium toxicity in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) plants grown in hydroponics (231 citations)
  • Involvement of the ABCG37 transporter in secretion of scopoletin and derivatives by Arabidopsis roots in response to iron deficiency. (213 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Iron deficiency, Biochemistry, Horticulture and Chlorophyll. The various areas that Javier Abadía examines in his Iron deficiency study include Riboflavin, Plant nutrition, Metabolomics, Plant physiology and Citric acid cycle. In Biochemistry, Javier Abadía works on issues like Sugar beet, which are connected to Chenopodiaceae, Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and Food science.

His Horticulture study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Antioxidant and Human fertilization. Javier Abadía interconnects Photosynthesis, Photosystem and Photosystem II in the investigation of issues within Chlorophyll. Javier Abadía has included themes like Violaxanthin and Chlorophyll a in his Photosynthesis study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (33.33%)
  • Iron deficiency (31.51%)
  • Biochemistry (28.31%)

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

  • Biochemistry (28.31%)
  • Horticulture (26.03%)
  • Nicotianamine (3.65%)

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

Biochemistry, Horticulture, Nicotianamine, Antioxidant and Medicago truncatula are his primary areas of study. His research brings together the fields of Xylem and Biochemistry. His studies deal with areas such as Glycyrrhizin, Superoxide dismutase, Catalase and Human fertilization as well as Horticulture.

His research integrates issues of Medicago scutellata, EDDHA, Chlorophyll and Iron deficiency in his study of Antioxidant. His study in Iron deficiency is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Riboflavin, Legume, Ferric-chelate reductase, Secretion and Flavin group. His Botany research incorporates elements of Calcium and Titratable acid.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Phytosiderophores determine thresholds for iron and zinc accumulation in biofortified rice endosperm while inhibiting the accumulation of cadmium (32 citations)
  • The expression of heterologous Fe (III) phytosiderophore transporter HvYS1 in rice increases Fe uptake, translocation and seed loading and excludes heavy metals by selective Fe transport. (31 citations)
  • Effect of drought stress on growth parameters, osmolyte contents, antioxidant enzymes and glycyrrhizin synthesis in licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) grown in the field (21 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Gene

His scientific interests lie mostly in Horticulture, Endosperm, Biochemistry, Nicotianamine and Botany. His work on Cultivar as part of general Horticulture study is frequently linked to Ascorbic acid, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Biochemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Chlorosis and Rhizosphere.

Javier Abadía has researched Nicotianamine in several fields, including Oryza sativa, Metal Chelator and Embryo. His Botany study deals with Orchard intersecting with Punica. His study on Superoxide dismutase, Catalase and Lipid peroxidation is often connected to Proline as part of broader study in Antioxidant.
