José Ignacio García-Plazaola

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Botany
• Photosynthesis
• Ecology

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Xanthophyll, Photosynthesis, Violaxanthin and Photoprotection. His study on Fagus sylvatica, Fagaceae and Beech is often connected to Revegetation and Information storage as part of broader study in Botany. His Xanthophyll study incorporates themes from Lutein and Chlorophyll, Horticulture, Photosynthetic pigment.

José Ignacio García-Plazaola has included themes like Biophysics and Phytoene in his Lutein study. His work deals with themes such as Quercus suber, Zeaxanthin and Chlorophyll a, which intersect with Photosynthesis. José Ignacio García-Plazaola frequently studies issues relating to Antheraxanthin and Violaxanthin.

His most cited work include:

• A rapid high‐performance liquid chromatography method to measure lipophilic antioxidants in stressed plants: simultaneous determination of carotenoids and tocopherols (163 citations)
• Seasonal changes in photosynthetic pigments and antioxidants in beech (Fagus sylvatica) in a Mediterranean climate: implications for tree decline diagnosis (111 citations)
• The lutein epoxide cycle in higher plants: its relationships to other xanthophyll cycles and possible functions (110 citations)

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

José Ignacio García-Plazaola mostly deals with Botany, Xanthophyll, Photosynthesis, Photoprotection and Violaxanthin. His study involves Carotenoid, Chlorophyll, Acclimatization, Photoinhibition and Desiccation, a branch of Botany. His Xanthophyll research incorporates elements of Lutein, Antheraxanthin, Zeaxanthin, Darkness and Biophysics.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Non-photochemical quenching and Ecophysiology in addition to Lutein. His studies in Photosynthesis integrate themes in fields like Photochemistry, Desiccation tolerance and Horticulture. His study in Photoprotection is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ecology, Mediterranean climate, Evergreen, Beech and Plant physiology.

He most often published in these fields:

• Botany (71.88%)
• Xanthophyll (42.97%)
• Photosynthesis (41.41%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

• Photosynthesis (41.41%)
• Botany (71.88%)
• Desiccation (14.84%)

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

José Ignacio García-Plazaola spends much of his time researching Photosynthesis, Botany, Desiccation, Desiccation tolerance and Xanthophyll. His research in Photosynthesis intersects with topics in Arctic vegetation, Chlorophyll, photoperiodism and Carotenoid. He carries out multidisciplinary research, doing studies in Botany and Trait.

His research investigates the connection with Desiccation and areas like Horticulture which intersect with concerns in Crown and Evergreen. The various areas that José Ignacio García-Plazaola examines in his Xanthophyll study include Ballota, Antheraxanthin, Photoprotection and Ramonda myconi. His work carried out in the field of Antheraxanthin brings together such families of science as Violaxanthin and Energy quenching.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• First evidence of freezing tolerance in a resurrection plant: insights into molecular mobility and zeaxanthin synthesis in the dark (21 citations)
• Born to revive: molecular and physiological mechanisms of double tolerance in a paleotropical and resurrection plant (13 citations)
• Photosynthetic Strategies of Desiccation-Tolerant Organisms (11 citations)

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

• Botany
• Ecology
• Photosynthesis

His primary scientific interests are in Photosynthesis, Botany, Desiccation, Photoprotection and Horticulture. His work on Stomatal conductance as part of general Photosynthesis study is frequently connected to Relative humidity, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. In his papers, José Ignacio García-Plazaola integrates diverse fields, such as Botany and Context.

His work in the fields of Desiccation, such as Desiccation tolerance, overlaps with other areas such as Gametophyte and Multicellular organism. The various areas that José Ignacio García-Plazaola examines in his Photoprotection study include Range, Resurrection plant, Ramonda myconi and Xanthophyll, Carotenoid. His study on Fresh weight and Imbibition is often connected to Semi quantitative and Absorbent material as part of broader study in Horticulture.
