Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Photosynthesis

Manuel Sánchez-Díaz focuses on Botany, Agronomy, Horticulture, Photosynthesis and Poaceae. His study in the field of Ripening and Berry is also linked to topics like Transcriptome. He has researched Agronomy in several fields, including Soil water, Cation-exchange capacity, Nutrient and Plant physiology.

His Horticulture study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Lipid peroxidation and Low temperature acclimation, Acclimatization. His research integrates issues of Mycorrhiza, Carbon dioxide and Root nodule in his study of Photosynthesis. His research in Poaceae focuses on subjects like Zea mays, which are connected to Cytochrome, Respiration and Cultivar.

His most cited work include:

  • Some Enzymes of Hydrogen Peroxide Metabolism in Leaves and Root Nodules of Medicago sativa (192 citations)
  • Growth, yield and solute content of barley in soils treated with sewage sludge under semiarid Mediterranean conditions (145 citations)
  • Gas exchange is related to the hormone balance in mycorrhizal or nitrogen‐fixing alfalfa subjected to drought (132 citations)

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

Manuel Sánchez-Díaz mainly investigates Agronomy, Photosynthesis, Botany, Horticulture and Shoot. His Agronomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Nitrogen fixation, Soil water and Transpiration. His Photosynthesis study combines topics in areas such as Chlorophyll, Acclimatization and Carbon dioxide.

His Botany research includes themes of Catalase, Antioxidant, Mycorrhiza and Root nodule. Within one scientific family, Manuel Sánchez-Díaz focuses on topics pertaining to Photorespiration under Horticulture, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Respiration. His Shoot research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Specific leaf area and Taproot.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (52.38%)
  • Photosynthesis (41.90%)
  • Botany (40.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2018)?

  • Photosynthesis (41.90%)
  • Agronomy (52.38%)
  • Botany (40.00%)

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

Manuel Sánchez-Díaz mainly focuses on Photosynthesis, Agronomy, Botany, Horticulture and Berry. He has included themes like Acclimatization and Shoot in his Photosynthesis study. His Agronomy study which covers Carbon dioxide that intersects with Sinorhizobium meliloti and Transpiration.

His research on Botany frequently links to adjacent areas such as Catalase. His study looks at the intersection of Horticulture and topics like Organic acid with Carbohydrate. His work on Veraison as part of general Berry research is often related to Deficit irrigation, thus linking different fields of science.

Between 2008 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Thermotolerance Responses in Ripening Berries of Vitis vinifera L. cv Muscat Hamburg (85 citations)
  • Harvest index, a parameter conditioning responsiveness of wheat plants to elevated CO2 (74 citations)
  • Ultraviolet-B radiation modifies the quantitative and qualitative profile of flavonoids and amino acids in grape berries. (71 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Photosynthesis

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Photosynthesis, Horticulture, Acclimatization and Agronomy. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Food science and Flavonols. His study in Photosynthesis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Shoot and Irrigation.

His Horticulture research integrates issues from Photorespiration and RuBisCO. His Acclimatization study incorporates themes from Stomatal conductance, Chlorophyll fluorescence and Respiration. His Agronomy research incorporates themes from Carbon dioxide and Transpiration.
