Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agriculture

José Moutinho-Pereira mostly deals with Photosynthesis, Botany, Cultivar, Chlorophyll and Horticulture. His Photosynthesis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Assimilation, Nutrient and Plant physiology. His work on Pelargonidin as part of general Botany study is frequently connected to Cadmium, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His Cultivar research incorporates themes from Transpiration and Prunus. His Chlorophyll research incorporates elements of Oxidative stress, Olea and Stomatal conductance. The study incorporates disciplines such as Hydroxycinnamic acid, Flavonols, Chlorogenic acid and Phenolic acid in addition to Horticulture.

His most cited work include:

  • Effect of ripeness and postharvest storage on the phenolic profiles of Cherries (Prunus avium L.). (175 citations)
  • Effect of ripeness and postharvest storage on the evolution of colour and anthocyanins in cherries (Prunus avium L.) (167 citations)
  • Cadmium toxicity affects photosynthesis and plant growth at different levels (165 citations)

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

José Moutinho-Pereira mainly focuses on Horticulture, Photosynthesis, Botany, Agronomy and Stomatal conductance. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Mediterranean climate and Water-use efficiency. His Photosynthesis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Chlorophyll a, Chlorophyll, Acclimatization and Plant physiology.

His work deals with themes such as Lipid peroxidation, Oxidative stress and Antioxidant, which intersect with Botany. His Agronomy research includes elements of Soil water, Soil fertility and Vine. The Stomatal conductance study combines topics in areas such as Chlorophyll fluorescence, Growing season and Transpiration.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Horticulture (42.97%)
  • Photosynthesis (30.47%)
  • Botany (25.78%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Horticulture (42.97%)
  • Photosynthesis (30.47%)
  • Climate change (13.28%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Horticulture, Photosynthesis, Climate change, Viticulture and Olive trees. The concepts of his Horticulture study are interwoven with issues in Salicylic acid and Water-use efficiency. His work on Stomatal conductance as part of general Photosynthesis study is frequently linked to Silicon, bridging the gap between disciplines.

The various areas that he examines in his Stomatal conductance study include Chlorophyll and Metabolism. As part of one scientific family, José Moutinho-Pereira deals mainly with the area of Viticulture, narrowing it down to issues related to the Ripening, and often Photosystem II and Growing season. He has included themes like Yield and Olea in his Olive trees study.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A Review of the Potential Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Options for European Viticulture (37 citations)
  • Drought Stress Effects and Olive Tree Acclimation under a Changing Climate. (27 citations)
  • Kaolin, an emerging tool to alleviate the effects of abiotic stresses on crop performance (16 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agriculture

Horticulture, Climate change, Olive trees, Olea and Drought stress are his primary areas of study. His work carried out in the field of Horticulture brings together such families of science as Photosynthesis, Irrigation and Water content. His Photosynthesis research focuses on Stomatal conductance in particular.

His Climate change study combines topics in areas such as Weather and climate, Terroir, Viticulture and Abiotic component. His research in Olive trees intersects with topics in Ecophysiology, Salicylic acid, Oleuropein, Water-use efficiency and Primary metabolite. His Drought stress study incorporates themes from Vigna, Legume crops and Anthocyanin.
