Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Horticulture

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Shoot, Horticulture, Abscission and Citrus × sinensis. His work on Citrus unshiu and Parthenocarpy as part of general Botany research is frequently linked to Mandarin Chinese, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His research integrates issues of Sprouting, Inflorescence, Leafy and Gibberellic acid in his study of Shoot.

He focuses mostly in the field of Horticulture, narrowing it down to topics relating to Agronomy and, in certain cases, Gibberellin. His Abscission research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cultivar, Anthesis and Carbohydrate. In his work, Fructification is strongly intertwined with Rutaceae, which is a subfield of Citrus × sinensis.

His most cited work include:

  • Defoliation increases fruit abscission and reduces carbohydrate levels in developing fruits and woody tissues of Citrus unshiu (96 citations)
  • Identification of genes associated with bud dormancy release in Prunus persica by suppression subtractive hybridization. (83 citations)
  • The inhibitory effect of gibberellic acid on flowering in Citrus (71 citations)

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

Manuel Agustí spends much of his time researching Horticulture, Botany, Agronomy, Shoot and Ripening. His work on Fruit tree, Gibberellic acid, Abscission and Cultivar as part of general Horticulture study is frequently connected to Thinning, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His research in Botany tackles topics such as Auxin which are related to areas like Fruit development and Rutaceae.

His Shoot research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sprouting, Vegetative reproduction, Phenology, Inflorescence and Leafy. Manuel Agustí combines subjects such as Diospyros kaki and Postharvest with his study of Ripening. His Gibberellin study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Citrus × sinensis, Orange and Abscisic acid.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Horticulture (57.43%)
  • Botany (51.35%)
  • Agronomy (17.57%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Botany (51.35%)
  • Horticulture (57.43%)
  • Eriobotrya (14.86%)

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

His primary areas of study are Botany, Horticulture, Eriobotrya, Gibberellin and Ripening. His work is connected to Plant physiology, Ovule, Cultivar, Shoot and Perennial plant, as a part of Botany. In most of his Horticulture studies, his work intersects topics such as Auxin.

His Eriobotrya research includes elements of Plant hormone, Panicle, Zeatin and Biochemistry. His Gibberellin research incorporates elements of Abscission, Abscisic acid, Orange and Parthenocarpy. His work investigates the relationship between Parthenocarpy and topics such as Fruit tree that intersect with problems in Paclobutrazol and Citrus unshiu.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Pomological Traits, Sensory Profile and Nutraceutical Properties of Nine Cultivars of Loquat ( Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) Fruits Grown in Mediterranean Area (24 citations)
  • Gibberellin reactivates and maintains ovary-wall cell division causing fruit set in parthenocarpic Citrus species. (23 citations)
  • Carbon utilization by fruit limits shoot growth in alternate-bearing citrus trees. (18 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Horticulture

His main research concerns Botany, Gibberellin, Ovule, Eriobotrya and Plant physiology. His research in Botany intersects with topics in Gene and Abiotic stress. His study on Gibberellin also encompasses disciplines like

  • Orange which is related to area like Paclobutrazol, Citrus unshiu, Fruit tree, Metabolism and Auxin,
  • Parthenocarpy which connect with Abscission,
  • Abscisic acid together with Ripening.

The Eriobotrya study combines topics in areas such as Biochemistry and Signal transduction. As part of his studies on Plant physiology, Manuel Agustí frequently links adjacent subjects like Horticulture. The concepts of his Horticulture study are interwoven with issues in Nutraceutical and Carotenoid.
