Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry

Botany, Antioxidant, Photoprotection, Biochemistry and Flavonoid are his primary areas of study. Phillyrea latifolia, Photosynthesis, Epidermis, Oleaceae and Anthocyanin are the primary areas of interest in his Botany study. Massimiliano Tattini works mostly in the field of Photosynthesis, limiting it down to concerns involving Phytotoxicity and, occasionally, Soil salinity, Osmotic pressure, Olea and Salinity.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Quinic acid, Spin trapping, Stereochemistry and Superoxide in addition to Antioxidant. His work in Photoprotection tackles topics such as Plant physiology which are related to areas like Cyanidin and Phenylpropanoid. His study in Flavonoid is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Plant Physiological Phenomena and Quercetin.

His most cited work include:

  • Flavonoids as antioxidants in plants: Location and functional significance (834 citations)
  • Multiple functional roles of flavonoids in photoprotection. (407 citations)
  • Differential accumulation of flavonoids and hydroxycinnamates in leaves of Ligustrum vulgare under excess light and drought stress (306 citations)

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

Massimiliano Tattini focuses on Botany, Photosynthesis, Horticulture, Salinity and Olea. His research in Photosynthesis intersects with topics in Chlorophyll, Abscisic acid, Catalase, Terpenoid and Phenylpropanoid. In his study, Evergreen is inextricably linked to Transpiration, which falls within the broad field of Salinity.

Massimiliano Tattini interconnects Halotolerance and Mannitol in the investigation of issues within Olea. His Photoprotection study results in a more complete grasp of Biochemistry. His work deals with themes such as Peroxidase and Plant physiology, which intersect with Antioxidant.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (56.48%)
  • Photosynthesis (29.63%)
  • Horticulture (20.37%)

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

  • Botany (56.48%)
  • Photosynthesis (29.63%)
  • Photoprotection (14.81%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Photosynthesis, Photoprotection, Abscisic acid and Ecology. His study in Adaptation extends to Botany with its themes. His Photosynthesis study combines topics in areas such as Phenylpropanoid, Resistance and Phenotypic plasticity.

His research integrates issues of Palisade cell and Sweet Basil in his study of Photoprotection. His Abscisic acid study incorporates themes from Function, Cell biology and Biosynthesis. His study in Terpenoid is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Zeaxanthin and Antioxidant.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Multiple functional roles of anthocyanins in plant-environment interactions. (214 citations)
  • Isoprene Responses and Functions in Plants Challenged by Environmental Pressures Associated to Climate Change. (96 citations)
  • Isoprenoids and phenylpropanoids are part of the antioxidant defense orchestrated daily by drought-stressed Platanus × acerifolia plants during Mediterranean summers (74 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Photosynthesis, Phenylpropanoid, Photoprotection and Carotenoid. Massimiliano Tattini conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Botany and Light intensity through his works. His research on Phenylpropanoid also deals with topics like

  • Xanthophyll which intersects with area such as Photosystem II and Horticulture,
  • Abscisic acid which intersects with area such as Auxin, Cell biology, Kinase and Function.

In Photoprotection, Massimiliano Tattini works on issues like Sweet Basil, which are connected to Photosynthetic efficiency, Photoinhibition and Chlorophyll. Carotenoid is a subfield of Biochemistry that he tackles. When carried out as part of a general Biochemistry research project, his work on Chloroplast and Reactive oxygen species is frequently linked to work in Flavonoid biosynthesis and Ascorbic acid, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
