Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Horticulture

Michael S. Reid focuses on Botany, Petal, Horticulture, Abscission and Cut flowers. His Botany study combines topics in areas such as Senescence and 1-Methylcyclopropene. His Petal study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Carnation, Daylily and Cultivar.

In his work, Transcriptome, Gene expression, Auxin, Regulator gene and Microarray analysis techniques is strongly intertwined with Cell biology, which is a subfield of Abscission. His studies deal with areas such as Vase life, Ornamental plant and Longevity as well as Cut flowers. His Vase life research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ethylene binding and Wilting.

His most cited work include:

  • Novel Gaseous Ethylene Binding Inhibitor Prevents Ethylene Effects in Potted Flowering Plants (202 citations)
  • Effects of 1-MCP on the vase life and ethylene response of cut flowers (159 citations)
  • Ethylene and flower senescence (147 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Horticulture, Postharvest, Vase life and Cut flowers. His study looks at the relationship between Botany and topics such as Senescence, which overlap with Petunia. Michael S. Reid interconnects Respiration, 1-Methylcyclopropene, Shelf life and Sucrose in the investigation of issues within Horticulture.

Michael S. Reid has researched Postharvest in several fields, including Gibberellic acid, Inflorescence, Cultivar and Cytokinin. His research investigates the connection between Cut flowers and topics such as Ornamental plant that intersect with issues in Silver thiosulfate. Michael S. Reid combines subjects such as Pedicel and Cell biology with his study of Abscission.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (53.23%)
  • Horticulture (41.29%)
  • Postharvest (25.37%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2020)?

  • Horticulture (41.29%)
  • Botany (53.23%)
  • Cell biology (9.45%)

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

His primary areas of study are Horticulture, Botany, Cell biology, Postharvest and Gene silencing. Horticulture and Food preservation are commonly linked in his work. Michael S. Reid is involved in the study of Botany that focuses on Petal in particular.

His study in Cell biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Gene expression, Abscission, Transcription factor, Pedicel and Auxin. His Postharvest study incorporates themes from Vase life, 1-Methylcyclopropene and PEAR. He interconnects Ornamental plant and Shelf life in the investigation of issues within Cut flowers.

Between 2008 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Microarray analysis of the abscission-related transcriptome in the tomato flower abscission zone in response to auxin depletion. (143 citations)
  • Effect of maturity and cold storage on ethylene biosynthesis and ripening in ‘Bartlett’ pears treated after harvest with 1-MCP (70 citations)
  • Treatment with thidiazuron improves opening and vase life of iris flowers. (37 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Horticulture

His main research concerns Botany, Cell biology, Petunia, Transcription factor and Abscisic acid. His Botany study typically links adjacent topics like Gene silencing. His studies deal with areas such as Transcriptome, Gene expression, Abscission, Mutant and Auxin as well as Cell biology.

Michael S. Reid works mostly in the field of Petunia, limiting it down to topics relating to Senescence and, in certain cases, Biochemistry, Arabidopsis thaliana, Leucine zipper and Arabidopsis, as a part of the same area of interest. The study incorporates disciplines such as Gibberellin, Resurrection plant and Regulation of gene expression in addition to Transcription factor. His Botrytis cinerea research focuses on Petal and how it connects with Postharvest.
