Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Horticulture

Mark A. Matthews mainly investigates Botany, Horticulture, Berry, Ripening and Veraison. In general Botany, his work in Xylem, Vitis vinifera, Apoplast and Photosynthesis is often linked to Hydraulic conductivity linking many areas of study. His Horticulture study incorporates themes from Wine and Irrigation.

His study explores the link between Berry and topics such as Anthocyanin that cross with problems in Flavonoid biosynthesis. His Ripening research integrates issues from Sugar, Biochemistry and Gene expression. His research integrates issues of Yield, Shoot and Phenology in his study of Vineyard.

His most cited work include:

  • Water deficits accelerate ripening and induce changes in gene expression regulating flavonoid biosynthesis in grape berries (388 citations)
  • Berry size and vine water deficits as factors in winegrape composition: Anthocyanins and tannins (336 citations)
  • Effect of Maturity and Vine Water Status on Grape Skin and Wine Flavonoids (317 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Horticulture, Xylem, Berry and Vitis vinifera. His work on Turgor pressure, Cell wall and Apoplast as part of his general Botany study is frequently connected to Water transport and Water flow, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His studies in Horticulture integrate themes in fields like Agronomy and Irrigation.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Petiole, Xylella fastidiosa and Vitaceae. His work deals with themes such as Ripening, Phloem, Anthocyanin and Flavonoid biosynthesis, which intersect with Berry. In his work, Abscisic acid is strongly intertwined with Sugar, which is a subfield of Ripening.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (45.99%)
  • Horticulture (39.42%)
  • Xylem (24.82%)

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

  • Vine (10.95%)
  • Horticulture (39.42%)
  • Public policy (5.11%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Vine, Horticulture, Public policy, Risk analysis and Bayesian probability. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cultivar, Wine grape, Yield and Irrigation in addition to Vine. His Wine grape study also includes

  • Phenology that intertwine with fields like Veraison,
  • Vitis vinifera which intersects with area such as Xylem.

The Yield study combines topics in areas such as Vineyard, Wine and Shoot. His work in Ripening, Berry and Anthesis are all subfields of Horticulture research. Mark A. Matthews integrates Hydrostatic pressure and Botany in his research.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Phenologic and growth responses to early and late season water deficits in Cabernet franc (124 citations)
  • A facility for the analysis of the electronic structures of solids and their surfaces by synchrotron radiation photoelectron spectroscopy (89 citations)
  • Characterization of major ripening events during softening in grape: turgor, sugar accumulation, abscisic acid metabolism, colour development, and their relationship with growth (61 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Horticulture

His primary areas of study are Vine, Horticulture, Ripening, Irrigation and Wine grape. He interconnects Agronomy, Yield and Shoot in the investigation of issues within Vine. His study on Horticulture is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Cell wall.

His Ripening study is associated with Botany. His study in the fields of Turgor pressure under the domain of Botany overlaps with other disciplines such as Softening. As a part of the same scientific family, Mark A. Matthews mostly works in the field of Irrigation, focusing on Phenology and, on occasion, Vineyard and Veraison.
