Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Photosynthesis

Jeroni Galmés mainly investigates Photosynthesis, Botany, Stomatal conductance, Conductance and RuBisCO. His work deals with themes such as Acclimatization, Agronomy, Irrigation and Respiration, which intersect with Photosynthesis. Jeroni Galmés combines subjects such as Limiting factor, Salinity and Photosynthetic acclimation with his study of Respiration.

His Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Chloroplast and Aquaporin. His studies in Stomatal conductance integrate themes in fields like Abscisic acid, Water-use efficiency, Horticulture, Mediterranean climate and Carbon dioxide. His RuBisCO research incorporates elements of Photorespiration, Phylogenetics, Irrigation management and Carboxylation.

His most cited work include:

  • Mesophyll conductance to CO2: current knowledge and future prospects (776 citations)
  • Keeping a positive carbon balance under adverse conditions: responses of photosynthesis and respiration to water stress (533 citations)
  • Mesophyll diffusion conductance to CO2: an unappreciated central player in photosynthesis (431 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Photosynthesis, Botany, RuBisCO, Stomatal conductance and Water-use efficiency. His study in the fields of Photosynthetic capacity under the domain of Photosynthesis overlaps with other disciplines such as Conductance. Much of his study explores Botany relationship to Mediterranean climate.

Jeroni Galmés has included themes like Carbon fixation, Phylogenetics, Photosynthetic efficiency and Carboxylation in his RuBisCO study. His study looks at the relationship between Stomatal conductance and topics such as Horticulture, which overlap with Hydraulic conductivity. His research investigates the connection with Water-use efficiency and areas like Transpiration which intersect with concerns in Biomass and Vineyard.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Photosynthesis (67.83%)
  • Botany (59.13%)
  • RuBisCO (36.52%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2020)?

  • Photosynthesis (67.83%)
  • Water-use efficiency (20.00%)
  • RuBisCO (36.52%)

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

His primary areas of study are Photosynthesis, Water-use efficiency, RuBisCO, Horticulture and Agronomy. His study in the field of Chlorophyll fluorescence also crosses realms of Pitcher plant. His research on RuBisCO concerns the broader Botany.

His Botany research focuses on Ribulose in particular. His work on Solanum and Drought tolerance as part of general Horticulture research is often related to Grafting, thus linking different fields of science. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Climate change under Agronomy, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Mediterranean climate, Range, Wild tomato and Adaptation.

Between 2017 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Evolutionary trends in RuBisCO kinetics and their co-evolution with CO2 concentrating mechanisms. (20 citations)
  • In situ warming in the Antarctic: effects on growth and photosynthesis in Antarctic vascular plants. (19 citations)
  • The ratio of trichomes to stomata is associated with water use efficiency in Solanum lycopersicum (tomato). (16 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Photosynthesis

His scientific interests lie mostly in Photosynthesis, Climate change, Drought tolerance, Agronomy and Irrigation. His RuBisCO study in the realm of Photosynthesis interacts with subjects such as Anoxygenic photosynthesis. In his study, Vascular plant, Plant growth, Plant species and Biosphere is inextricably linked to Colobanthus quitensis, which falls within the broad field of Climate change.

His study in Drought tolerance is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Trichome, Water-use efficiency, Epidermis and Introgression. His work on Cultivar as part of general Agronomy study is frequently linked to Conductance, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Wild tomato research focuses on Adaptation and how it relates to Ribulose, Botany, Archaea and Carbon fixation.
