Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Photosynthesis

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Agronomy, Photosynthesis, Horticulture and Dry matter. As a member of one scientific family, Leo F. M. Marcelis mostly works in the field of Botany, focusing on Nutrient and, on occasion, Specific leaf area. He has included themes like Light intensity, Agroforestry and Pepper in his Agronomy study.

Leo F. M. Marcelis has researched Photosynthesis in several fields, including Starch, Canopy, Lycopersicon, Interception and Animal science. The Dry weight, Cucurbitaceae and Fructification research Leo F. M. Marcelis does as part of his general Horticulture study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Developmental stage, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His biological study deals with issues like Sink, which deal with fields such as Anthesis and Soil science.

His most cited work include:

  • Modelling biomass production and yield of horticultural crops: a review (354 citations)
  • Sink strength as a determinant of dry matter partitioning in the whole plant (309 citations)
  • Flower and fruit abortion in sweet pepper in relation to source and sink strength (151 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Horticulture, Greenhouse, Photosynthesis, Agronomy and Botany. The various areas that Leo F. M. Marcelis examines in his Horticulture study include Light intensity, Dry matter, Nutrient and Crop. His Greenhouse research includes themes of Agricultural engineering, Environmental engineering, Atmospheric sciences and LED lamp.

His Photosynthesis study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Canopy, Chlorophyll and Interception. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Sink, Pepper and Transpiration. His Carbon dioxide research extends to the thematically linked field of Botany.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Horticulture (45.38%)
  • Greenhouse (27.31%)
  • Photosynthesis (23.46%)

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

  • Horticulture (45.38%)
  • Photosynthesis (23.46%)
  • Greenhouse (27.31%)

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

Leo F. M. Marcelis focuses on Horticulture, Photosynthesis, Greenhouse, Far-red and Dry weight. His studies deal with areas such as Light intensity, Shade avoidance, Water-use efficiency and Stomatal conductance as well as Horticulture. His study in Photosynthesis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Canopy, Chlorophyll and Shoot.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Humidity, Sodium-vapor lamp, Atmospheric sciences and LED lamp in addition to Greenhouse. His studies in Dry weight integrate themes in fields like Carbohydrate metabolism, Specific leaf area and Sink. In his study, Irrigation and Agronomy is inextricably linked to Nitrate, which falls within the broad field of Transpiration.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Anthocyanin Biosynthesis and Degradation Mechanisms in Solanaceous Vegetables: A Review. (127 citations)
  • Unraveling the Role of Red:Blue LED Lights on Resource Use Efficiency and Nutritional Properties of Indoor Grown Sweet Basil. (34 citations)
  • Effects of continuous or end-of-day far-red light on tomato plant growth, morphology, light absorption, and fruit production (32 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Photosynthesis

Leo F. M. Marcelis mainly focuses on Horticulture, Photosynthesis, Water-use efficiency, Chlorophyll and Stomatal conductance. His specific area of interest is Horticulture, where he studies Rootstock. His research in Photosynthesis intersects with topics in Solanum, Canopy, Greenhouse and Mannose.

His research on Canopy also deals with topics like

  • Photosynthetically active radiation that intertwine with fields like Perennial plant, Agronomy and Phenotypic plasticity,
  • Photosynthetic capacity together with Acclimatization. His studies deal with areas such as Botrytis cinerea, Dry weight and Bioassay as well as Greenhouse. His Water-use efficiency study combines topics in areas such as Lactuca and Nutrient.
