Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • DNA

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Abscission, Genome, Gibberellin and Citrus × sinensis. His work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as Domestication and Citrus reshni. His Abscission research incorporates themes from Fruit tree, Abscisic acid, Rutaceae and Stomatal conductance.

Manuel Talon combines subjects such as Regulation of gene expression, Genetic variation and Aspergillus niger with his study of Genome. His Gibberellin research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biological pathway, Biosynthesis and Paclobutrazol. His studies deal with areas such as Sugar and Anthesis as well as Citrus unshiu.

His most cited work include:

  • Blast2GO: a universal tool for annotation, visualization and analysis in functional genomics research (8042 citations)
  • High-throughput functional annotation and data mining with the Blast2GO suite. (2551 citations)
  • The plant‐growth‐promoting rhizobacteria Bacillus pumilus and Bacillus licheniformis produce high amounts of physiologically active gibberellins (435 citations)

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

Botany, Horticulture, Abscission, Genetics and Gibberellin are his primary areas of study. In his study, Rutaceae is strongly linked to Citrus × sinensis, which falls under the umbrella field of Botany. His Horticulture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Abiotic stress and Abiotic component.

His Abscission research integrates issues from Cell wall, Fruit abscission and Plant physiology. Manuel Talon works mostly in the field of Gibberellin, limiting it down to topics relating to Biochemistry and, in certain cases, Ripening. His Genome study incorporates themes from Genotyping and DNA sequencing.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (48.65%)
  • Horticulture (22.16%)
  • Abscission (19.46%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Botany (48.65%)
  • Horticulture (22.16%)
  • Genetics (18.92%)

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

Manuel Talon focuses on Botany, Horticulture, Genetics, Abscission and Gene. Manuel Talon has included themes like Biotic stress, Abiotic stress, Citrus × sinensis and Xanthomonas campestris in his Botany study. His study on Horticulture also encompasses disciplines like

  • Stomatal conductance together with Transpiration and Hybrid,
  • Salinity which connect with Functional genomics, Seedling, Wild type and Biochemistry.

His Abscission study combines topics in areas such as Gene family, Arabidopsis, Fruit abscission, Cell biology and Cell wall. The study incorporates disciplines such as Evolutionary biology, DNA sequencing and Clementine in addition to Genome. The Trifoliate orange study which covers Germplasm that intersects with Genomics.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Genomics of the origin and evolution of Citrus (187 citations)
  • A Phylogenetic Analysis of 34 Chloroplast Genomes Elucidates the Relationships between Wild and Domestic Species within the Genus Citrus (155 citations)
  • Chloride regulates leaf cell size and water relations in tobacco plants (59 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • DNA

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Gene, Genetics, Transcriptome and Abscission. As part of his studies on Botany, Manuel Talon often connects relevant areas like Horticulture. His study in Gene concentrates on Gene expression, Gene expression profiling, Whole genome sequencing, Genetic marker and Single-nucleotide polymorphism.

His Transcriptome study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sugar, Ripening and Receptor. As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Abscission, narrowing it down to issues related to the Gene family, and often Cell wall and Cell wall modification. The various areas that Manuel Talon examines in his Genome study include Meiosis, Linkage disequilibrium, Panicle, Genetic association and Japonica.
