Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Photosynthesis

Mauro Centritto mainly investigates Photosynthesis, Botany, Stomatal conductance, Water-use efficiency and Horticulture. Particularly relevant to Photosynthetic capacity is his body of work in Photosynthesis. Mauro Centritto combines topics linked to Carbon dioxide with his work on Botany.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Thylakoid, Stress protection, Climate change and Oxidative phosphorylation. His work in Water-use efficiency addresses issues such as Dry weight, which are connected to fields such as Prunus, Fruit tree, Germination, Shoot and Nutrient. His studies examine the connections between Horticulture and genetics, as well as such issues in Growing season, with regards to Transpiration and Drought tolerance.

His most cited work include:

  • Response of isoprene emission and carbon metabolism to drought in white poplar (Populus alba) saplings. (219 citations)
  • Diffusional conductances to CO2 as a target for increasing photosynthesis and photosynthetic water-use efficiency. (199 citations)
  • Leaf gas exchange, carbon isotope discrimination, and grain yield in contrasting rice genotypes subjected to water deficits during the reproductive stage (170 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Photosynthesis, Botany, Stomatal conductance, Horticulture and Agronomy. His Photosynthesis research includes elements of Carbon dioxide and Abscisic acid. His work in the fields of Growing season, Terpenoid, Respiration and Acclimatization overlaps with other areas such as Conductance.

Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Chlorophyll under Stomatal conductance, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Olea. His study in the field of Photochemical Reflectance Index, Shoot and Betula alnoides also crosses realms of Erythrophleum fordii. His Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Arundo donax and Ecotype.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Photosynthesis (62.39%)
  • Botany (48.72%)
  • Stomatal conductance (32.48%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Photosynthesis (62.39%)
  • Horticulture (31.62%)
  • Arundo donax (9.40%)

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

Mauro Centritto spends much of his time researching Photosynthesis, Horticulture, Arundo donax, Stomatal conductance and Agronomy. His Photosynthesis research is classified as research in Botany. His Horticulture study incorporates themes from Abiotic stress and Mucuna pruriens.

His Arundo donax research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Salinity, Ecotype and Crop. His work in Stomatal conductance covers topics such as Ecophysiology which are related to areas like Irrigation, Ginkgo biloba, Respiration and Photosynthetic efficiency. In his work, Agroecosystem and Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage is strongly intertwined with Biomass, which is a subfield of Agronomy.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Increased free abscisic acid during drought enhances stomatal sensitivity and modifies stomatal behaviour in fast growing giant reed (Arundo donax L.) (38 citations)
  • Impact of two arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on Arundo donax L. response to salt stress. (33 citations)
  • The Impact of Heat Stress and Water Deficit on the Photosynthetic and Stomatal Physiology of Olive (Olea europaea L.)—A Case Study of the 2017 Heat Wave (31 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Photosynthesis

His primary areas of study are Photosynthesis, Horticulture, Stomatal conductance, Water-use efficiency and Arundo donax. His Photosynthesis study results in a more complete grasp of Botany. The concepts of his Horticulture study are interwoven with issues in Soil microbiology and Mucuna pruriens.

His Stomatal conductance research incorporates themes from Anthocyanin, Chlorophyll fluorescence and Epidermis. As part of the same scientific family, Mauro Centritto usually focuses on Water-use efficiency, concentrating on Abscisic acid and intersecting with Transpiration, Black poplar, Acclimatization, Shoot and Xylem. His work is dedicated to discovering how Arundo donax, Agronomy are connected with Vapour Pressure Deficit, Water content and Salinity and other disciplines.
