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.
