Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Biochemistry

Jeffrey B. Harborne mainly focuses on Botany, Flavones, Biochemistry, Glycoside and Flavonols. His Botany study incorporates themes from Biflavonoids and Kaempferol. His studies in Flavones integrate themes in fields like Apigenin, Scutellarein, Flavonoid and Valerianaceae, Traditional medicine.

His Glycoside research is within the category of Organic chemistry. His Organic chemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Amino acid and Terpenoid. Jeffrey B. Harborne has included themes like Pelargonium, Pelargonium quercifolium, Exudate and Pelargonium crispum in his Flavonols study.

His most cited work include:

  • Phytochemical Methods: A Guide to Modern Techniques of Plant Analysis (4746 citations)
  • Advances in flavonoid research since 1992. (2705 citations)
  • Encyclopedia of plant physiology, New series (1686 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Kaempferol, Volume, Flavonols and Flavonoid. His Botany study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Luteolin. His Luteolin research includes elements of Apigenin and Tricin.

His Kaempferol study contributes to a more complete understanding of Quercetin. His Cyanidin study is related to the wider topic of Anthocyanin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (42.81%)
  • Kaempferol (7.69%)
  • Volume (7.02%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1995-2017)?

  • Botany (42.81%)
  • Flavonoid (6.86%)
  • Traditional medicine (5.85%)

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

His primary areas of study are Botany, Flavonoid, Traditional medicine, Chemical engineering and Flavones. He combines subjects such as Quercetagetin and Apigenin with his study of Botany. His work is dedicated to discovering how Apigenin, Luteolin are connected with Scutellarein and other disciplines.

His Flavonoid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ether, Glycoside and Quercetin. His work on Phytochemistry as part of general Traditional medicine research is frequently linked to Tanacetum parthenium, bridging the gap between disciplines. Jeffrey B. Harborne studied Flavones and Flavonols that intersect with Kaempferol.

Between 1995 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Advances in flavonoid research since 1992. (2705 citations)
  • Phytochemical dictionary. A handbook of bioactive compounds from plants. (501 citations)
  • The comparative biochemistry of phytoalexin induction in plants (160 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Genus

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Medicinal plants, Flavones, Quercetagetin and Plant composition. His Botany research incorporates elements of Plant secondary metabolism, Flavonoid and Horticulture. His Flavonoid study frequently links to other fields, such as Anthocyanin.

His work carried out in the field of Medicinal plants brings together such families of science as Chemical structure, Chemical engineering, Triterpenoid and Terpenoid. His study in Flavones is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Kaempferol and Flavonols. Jeffrey B. Harborne has researched Plant composition in several fields, including Phytochemical and Structural type.
