Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Botany
Horticulture
Gene

John L. Jifon focuses on Horticulture, Botany, Agronomy, Chromatography and High-performance liquid chromatography. His Horticulture study incorporates themes from Photosynthesis and Potassium. The study incorporates disciplines such as Citrus × sinensis, Nutrient and Crop in addition to Botany.

His work on Plant breeding, Saccharum and Crop yield as part of general Agronomy research is frequently linked to Sugar cane, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His study in Chromatography is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Hydrochloride, Acetic acid and Vitamin C, Dehydroascorbic acid. His High-performance liquid chromatography study which covers Hexane that intersects with DPPH.

His most cited work include:

Use of physiological parameters as fast tools to screen for drought tolerance in sugarcane (195 citations)
Gas exchange, chlorophyll and nutrient contents in relation to Na+ and Cl− accumulation in ‘Sunburst’ mandarin grafted on different rootstocks (140 citations)
Moderate shade can increase net gas exchange and reduce photoinhibition in citrus leaves. (119 citations)

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

John L. Jifon mainly focuses on Horticulture, Agronomy, Botany, Cultivar and Photosynthesis. His work in Postharvest, Melon, Orange, Pungency and Shoot is related to Horticulture. The various areas that John L. Jifon examines in his Postharvest study include Phytochemical and Aroma.

His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Soil water and Potassium. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Citrus × sinensis and Nutrient. His Cultivar research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Pepper and Flavonoid.

He most often published in these fields:

Horticulture (47.33%)
Agronomy (38.17%)
Botany (21.37%)

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

His main research concerns Horticulture, Agronomy, Botany, Crop and Postharvest. His Horticulture research includes elements of Yield, Transpiration and Tomato yellow leaf curl virus. The study incorporates disciplines such as Biomass, Cane and Nitrogen in addition to Agronomy.

His Botany study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Sorghum bicolor. His work deals with themes such as Phytochemical, Aroma and Isorhamnetin, which intersect with Postharvest. As a part of the same scientific study, John L. Jifon usually deals with the Cultivar, concentrating on Melon and frequently concerns with Carotenoid and Food science.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Quality Matters: Influences of Citrus Flush Physicochemical Characteristics on Population Dynamics of the Asian Citrus Psyllid (Hemiptera: Liviidae). (27 citations)
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) detects fine roots of agricultural crops in the field (23 citations)
Nanoparticle-Mediated Seed Priming Improves Germination, Growth, Yield, and Quality of Watermelons (Citrullus lanatus) at multi-locations in Texas. (21 citations)

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

Botany
Horticulture
Gene

John L. Jifon mainly investigates Horticulture, Botany, Germination, Seedling and Phytochemical. His work in Horticulture is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Yield. His studies deal with areas such as Ammonium nitrate, Chlorophyll, Lactuca, Agronomy and Nitrogen as well as Yield.

Botany is closely attributed to Starch in his study. His Seedling research includes themes of Cultivar, Crop, Sowing, Seed treatment and Pungency. His Phytochemical study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Aroma and Aroma compound.
