Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Ecology

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Horticulture, Cultivar, Biochemistry and Antioxidant. His Botany study incorporates themes from Metabolism and Nitrate reductase. His work in the fields of Horticulture, such as Cherry tomato, Lycopersicon and Shoot, intersects with other areas such as Grafting.

The concepts of his Lycopersicon study are interwoven with issues in Catechol oxidase, Polyphenol oxidase, Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and Citrullus lanatus. Juan M. Ruiz usually deals with Cultivar and limits it to topics linked to Rootstock and Melon and Cucumis. His study in the field of Proline dehydrogenase, Enzyme, Oxidative stress and Proline is also linked to topics like Glutathione reductase.

His most cited work include:

  • Boron in Plant Biology (525 citations)
  • Resistance to cold and heat stress: accumulation of phenolic compounds in tomato and watermelon plants. (423 citations)
  • Genotypic differences in some physiological parameters symptomatic for oxidative stress under moderate drought in tomato plants. (249 citations)

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

Juan M. Ruiz mainly investigates Botany, Horticulture, Agronomy, Nutrient and Biochemistry. His research integrates issues of Proline, Plant nutrition, Metabolism and Nitrate reductase in his study of Botany. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Nitrogen and Horticulture.

He has researched Nutrient in several fields, including Potassium, Phosphorus and Calcium. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Biochemistry, focusing on Food science and, on occasion, Selenium. His work focuses on many connections between Glutathione and other disciplines, such as Antioxidant, that overlap with his field of interest in Biofortification.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (42.25%)
  • Horticulture (37.97%)
  • Agronomy (18.72%)

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

  • Seagrass (8.56%)
  • Environmental science (5.88%)
  • Photosynthesis (5.88%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Seagrass, Environmental science, Photosynthesis, Ecology and Horticulture. His research in the fields of Posidonia oceanica overlaps with other disciplines such as Reproductive success. His Photosynthesis study also includes

  • TILLING which is related to area like Ionomics, Food science and Metabolism,
  • Cadmium, which have a strong connection to Soil contamination,
  • Biochemistry and Salinity most often made with reference to Brassica rapa.

As part of one scientific family, Juan M. Ruiz deals mainly with the area of Food science, narrowing it down to issues related to the Shoot, and often Antioxidant and Lipid peroxidation. Many of his research projects under Ecology are closely connected to Effects of global warming on oceans with Effects of global warming on oceans, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His study ties his expertise on Nutrient together with the subject of Horticulture.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Recent trend reversal for declining European seagrass meadows (65 citations)
  • Interactive effects of global warming and eutrophication on a fast-growing Mediterranean seagrass. (19 citations)
  • Influence of the proline metabolism and glycine betaine on tolerance to salt stress in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) commercial genotypes. (18 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Ecology

Juan M. Ruiz mostly deals with Seagrass, Nutrient, Photosynthesis, Ecosystem and Environmental science. Juan M. Ruiz has included themes like TILLING and Brassica rapa in his Nutrient study. His Ecosystem course of study focuses on Carbon sequestration and Threatened species, Fishery and Water quality.

His research investigates the connection between Biofortification and topics such as Biochemistry that intersect with issues in Homeostasis. As part of his studies on Phytoremediation, Juan M. Ruiz frequently links adjacent subjects like Horticulture. His research in Horticulture is mostly concerned with Solanum.
