Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Genus
  • Ecology

Kevin S. Gould mostly deals with Botany, Anthocyanin, Biochemistry, Flavonoid and Chloroplast. His research investigates the connection between Botany and topics such as Reactive oxygen species that intersect with problems in Proanthocyanidin. His work deals with themes such as Photosynthesis, Chlorophyll, Chlorophyll fluorescence, Antioxidant and Function, which intersect with Anthocyanin.

The Chlorophyll study combines topics in areas such as Photoinhibition, Quintinia, Food science and Photoprotection. His Biochemistry study which covers Palisade cell that intersects with Cytoplasm, Guard cell and Nicotiana plumbaginifolia. Kevin S. Gould interconnects Convolvulaceae, Biosynthesis, Flesh and Deciduous in the investigation of issues within Flavonoid.

His most cited work include:

  • Nature's Swiss Army Knife: The Diverse Protective Roles of Anthocyanins in Leaves (528 citations)
  • Do anthocyanins function as antioxidants in leaves? Imaging of H2O2 in red and green leaves after mechanical injury (343 citations)
  • Functional role of anthocyanins in the leaves of Quintinia serrata A. Cunn. (256 citations)

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

Kevin S. Gould spends much of his time researching Botany, Anthocyanin, Photosynthesis, Antioxidant and Chlorophyll. His Botany research includes themes of Juvenile and Flavonoid. Within one scientific family, Kevin S. Gould focuses on topics pertaining to Reactive oxygen species under Anthocyanin, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Oxidative stress.

His Photosynthesis study combines topics in areas such as Carotenoid and Chlorophyll a. The study incorporates disciplines such as Food science and Abiotic component in addition to Antioxidant. He combines subjects such as Photoinhibition, Quintinia and Ophiopogon planiscapus with his study of Chlorophyll.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (78.85%)
  • Anthocyanin (32.69%)
  • Photosynthesis (18.27%)

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

  • Botany (78.85%)
  • Photosynthesis (18.27%)
  • Photoprotection (11.54%)

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

Kevin S. Gould mainly focuses on Botany, Photosynthesis, Photoprotection, Anthocyanin and Betalain. His Botany research integrates issues from Salinity and Abiotic component. His Abiotic component research incorporates themes from Antioxidant and Fight-or-flight response.

His study in Photosynthesis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Carotenoid, Sweet Basil and Chlorophyll a. Kevin S. Gould has included themes like Chlorophyll, Horticulture, Photoinhibition, Photosystem II and Xanthophyll in his Photoprotection study. His studies in Anthocyanin integrate themes in fields like Lamiaceae, Plectranthus and Plant stem.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Multiple functional roles of anthocyanins in plant-environment interactions. (214 citations)
  • Photoprotection by foliar anthocyanins mitigates effects of boron toxicity in sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum) (47 citations)
  • When are foliar anthocyanins useful to plants? Re-evaluation of the photoprotection hypothesis using Arabidopsis thaliana mutants that differ in anthocyanin accumulation (45 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Genus
  • Ecology

His main research concerns Botany, Anthocyanin, Photoprotection, Photosynthesis and Chlorophyll. Kevin S. Gould focuses mostly in the field of Botany, narrowing it down to matters related to Betalain and, in some cases, Antioxidant, Biochemistry and Betacyanins. In Anthocyanin, Kevin S. Gould works on issues like Abiotic component, which are connected to Fight-or-flight response, Function and Metabolic pathway.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Photoprotection, Phenylpropanoid is strongly linked to Horticulture. His Photosynthesis research includes elements of Defence mechanisms and Plant physiology. His research integrates issues of Photoinhibition and Coleus in his study of Chlorophyll.
