Kenneth A. Shackel

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Botany
• Horticulture
• Thermodynamics

Kenneth A. Shackel mainly investigates Botany, Xylem, Turgor pressure, Horticulture and Transpiration. His work on Vitis vinifera, Apoplast and Ripening as part of general Botany study is frequently connected to Investigation methods, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His work focuses on many connections between Xylem and other disciplines, such as Phloem, that overlap with his field of interest in Pedicel.

His research in Turgor pressure intersects with topics in Membrane function, Boiling and Biochemistry. His biological study focuses on Water stress. His Transpiration research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Agronomy, Wilting, Growth rate and Stomatal conductance.

His most cited work include:

• Stem-water Potential as a Sensitive Indicator of Water Stress in Prune Trees (Prunus domestica L. cv. French) (409 citations)
• The Dynamics of Embolism Repair in Xylem: In Vivo Visualizations Using High-Resolution Computed Tomography (274 citations)
• A Reevaluation of the Key Factors That Influence Tomato Fruit Softening and Integrity (271 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Horticulture, Agronomy, Turgor pressure and Irrigation. His study in Xylem, Vitis vinifera, Ripening, Transpiration and Berry are all subfields of Botany. Kenneth A. Shackel has researched Xylem in several fields, including Hydraulic conductivity, Phloem and Anatomy.

His study on Horticulture is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Sugar. His Crop, Orchard and Water stress study, which is part of a larger body of work in Agronomy, is frequently linked to Deficit irrigation, bridging the gap between disciplines. He usually deals with Turgor pressure and limits it to topics linked to Apoplast and Cell.

He most often published in these fields:

• Botany (43.97%)
• Horticulture (39.01%)
• Agronomy (27.66%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

• Horticulture (39.01%)
• Agronomy (27.66%)
• Botany (43.97%)

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

Kenneth A. Shackel spends much of his time researching Horticulture, Agronomy, Botany, Orchard and Xylem. His Horticulture study combines topics in areas such as Growing season and Irrigation. His Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Vineyard and Bark.

In the field of Botany, his study on Ripening overlaps with subjects such as Hydrostatic pressure. His work carried out in the field of Orchard brings together such families of science as Fertilizer and Nut. His Xylem study incorporates themes from Hydraulic conductivity and Vitis vinifera.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• In Vivo Visualizations of Drought-Induced Embolism Spread in Vitis vinifera (127 citations)
• Water Uptake along the Length of Grapevine Fine Roots: Developmental Anatomy, Tissue-Specific Aquaporin Expression, and Pathways of Water Transport (74 citations)
• Characterization of major ripening events during softening in grape: turgor, sugar accumulation, abscisic acid metabolism, colour development, and their relationship with growth (61 citations)

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

• Botany
• Horticulture
• Thermodynamics

His main research concerns Botany, Xylem, Horticulture, Vitis vinifera and Water transport. Specifically, his work in Botany is concerned with the study of Ripening. His work in the fields of Horticulture, such as Cultivar, Ficus and Carica, overlaps with other areas such as Deficit irrigation.

His Cultivar research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ostiole and Apoplast. His studies deal with areas such as Flow and Mechanics as well as Vitis vinifera. His Abscisic acid research integrates issues from Catabolism, Softening, Turgor pressure, Sugar and Cell wall.
