Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Botany

Lorenzo Zacarías mostly deals with Botany, Carotenoid, Biochemistry, Citrus × sinensis and Abscisic acid. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Horticulture and Botany. In his research, Regulation of gene expression and Gene expression is intimately related to Biosynthesis, which falls under the overarching field of Carotenoid.

His Biochemistry study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Ripening. His work in Citrus × sinensis addresses subjects such as Phytoene, which are connected to disciplines such as Phytoene desaturase. Lorenzo Zacarías works mostly in the field of Orange, limiting it down to topics relating to Lycopene and, in certain cases, Citrus paradisi.

His most cited work include:

  • A global perspective on carotenoids: Metabolism, biotechnology, and benefits for nutrition and health (237 citations)
  • Cloning and characterization of two 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase genes, differentially regulated during fruit maturation and under stress conditions, from orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck) (167 citations)
  • Biochemical and molecular analysis of carotenoid biosynthesis in flavedo of orange (Citrus sinensis L.) during fruit development and maturation. (157 citations)

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

Lorenzo Zacarías mainly investigates Horticulture, Botany, Carotenoid, Postharvest and Orange. In general Horticulture study, his work on Citrus fruit, Cultivar and Chilling injury often relates to the realm of Relative humidity, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His Botany study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Abscisic acid.

His Carotenoid study frequently involves adjacent topics like Ripening. Lorenzo Zacarías interconnects Shelf life, Biotechnology, Dehydration and Turgor pressure in the investigation of issues within Postharvest. Lorenzo Zacarías specializes in Orange, namely Citrus × sinensis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Horticulture (41.45%)
  • Botany (40.13%)
  • Carotenoid (38.82%)

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

  • Carotenoid (38.82%)
  • Food science (14.47%)
  • Horticulture (41.45%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Carotenoid, Food science, Horticulture, Orange and Antioxidant. His Carotenoid study results in a more complete grasp of Biochemistry. His work on Cultivar, Citrus fruit and Postharvest as part of general Horticulture research is frequently linked to Color changes and Marie curie, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

He combines subjects such as Phytoene, Phytofluene and Gene with his study of Orange. The Citrus × sinensis study combines topics in areas such as Apocarotenoid, Pigment and Abscisic acid. His Lycopene study deals with the bigger picture of Botany.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A global perspective on carotenoids: Metabolism, biotechnology, and benefits for nutrition and health (237 citations)
  • Key determinants of citrus fruit quality: Metabolites and main changes during maturation (34 citations)
  • Dietary Carotenoid Roles in Redox Homeostasis and Human Health. (22 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Botany

Lorenzo Zacarías mainly focuses on Carotenoid, Orange, Horticulture, Phytofluene and Phytoene. His Carotenoid study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Biochemistry. Particularly relevant to Citrus × sinensis is his body of work in Orange.

The Citrus × sinensis study which covers Ripening that intersects with Abscisic acid, Pigment, Mutant and Carotene. In the field of Horticulture, his study on Rootstock overlaps with subjects such as Quality. His Lycopene research is under the purview of Botany.
