Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Horticulture

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Postharvest, Horticulture, Sugar and Rosaceae. His Botany research incorporates themes from Fructan and Polyphenol. The concepts of his Postharvest study are interwoven with issues in Ripening, Food science, Biochemistry and Consumer behaviour.

His study in the field of Colletotrichum and Fruit tree also crosses realms of 1-Methylcyclopropene and Systemic acquired resistance. His Sugar study combines topics in areas such as Chromatography and Sucrose. Leon A. Terry has included themes like Botrytis cinerea and Agronomy in his Rosaceae study.

His most cited work include:

  • Elicitors of induced disease resistance in postharvest horticultural crops: a brief review (295 citations)
  • The application of biosensors to fresh produce and the wider food industry. (210 citations)
  • 1-Methylcyclopropene treatment affects strawberry fruit decay (155 citations)

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

Leon A. Terry mainly focuses on Horticulture, Postharvest, Botany, Sugar and Cultivar. His Horticulture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Respiration rate and Sucrose. Leon A. Terry interconnects Biochemistry, Food science, Flesh and Clementine in the investigation of issues within Postharvest.

His study explores the link between Sugar and topics such as Chromatography that cross with problems in Solvent. His research integrates issues of Composition, Mangifera, Fragaria and Crop in his study of Cultivar. His Botrytis cinerea research integrates issues from Rosaceae and Petal.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Horticulture (52.12%)
  • Postharvest (35.15%)
  • Botany (27.27%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Horticulture (52.12%)
  • Postharvest (35.15%)
  • Respiration rate (9.09%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Horticulture, Postharvest, Respiration rate, Dormancy and Ripening. As part of his studies on Horticulture, Leon A. Terry frequently links adjacent subjects like Botany. His work on Petal is typically connected to Methyl jasmonate as part of general Botany study, connecting several disciplines of science.

When carried out as part of a general Postharvest research project, his work on Preharvest is frequently linked to work in Deficit irrigation, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His research in Dormancy intersects with topics in Bulb, Natural resource economics and Quality management. His Ripening research includes elements of Aroma and Carbohydrate content.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Postharvest losses of fruit and vegetables during retail and in consumers’ homes: Quantifications, causes, and means of prevention (69 citations)
  • Variation of theanine, phenolic, and methylxanthine compounds in 21 cultivars of Camellia sinensis harvested in different seasons (27 citations)
  • Assuring Potato Tuber Quality during Storage: A Future Perspective. (25 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Horticulture

His scientific interests lie mostly in Horticulture, Respiration rate, Cultivar, Botany and Respiration. His research in the fields of Camellia sinensis, Sprouting and Meristem overlaps with other disciplines such as Gene family and Quantitative trait locus. His Cultivar study incorporates themes from Ornamental plant, Malus, Biotechnology, Predictive modelling and Harvest season.

Leon A. Terry integrates Botany with Gallate in his study. His Respiration research focuses on subjects like Food quality, which are linked to Postharvest. His study brings together the fields of Controlled atmosphere and Postharvest.
