Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Horticulture

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Sugar, Horticulture, Sucrose and Food science. The study incorporates disciplines such as Citric acid and Malic acid in addition to Botany. His Sugar research integrates issues from Dry matter and Agronomy.

His Horticulture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Backcross population, Qtl analysis and Irrigation. His studies deal with areas such as Fructose and Flesh as well as Sucrose. He studied Food science and Metabolism that intersect with Malate dehydrogenase, Enzyme assay and Metabolite.

His most cited work include:

  • Water deficits uncouple growth from photosynthesis, increase C content, and modify the relationships between C and growth in sink organs (434 citations)
  • What controls fleshy fruit acidity? A review of malate and citrate accumulation in fruit cells (229 citations)
  • Fruit thinning and shade improve bean characteristics and beverage quality of coffee (Coffea arabica L.) under optimal conditions (215 citations)

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

Michel Génard mostly deals with Horticulture, Botany, Agronomy, Sugar and Cultivar. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Dry matter and Horticulture. Michel Génard works on Botany which deals in particular with Prunus.

His Agronomy research includes themes of Mango fruit, Thinning and Transpiration. His Sugar research also works with subjects such as

  • Sucrose together with Fructose and Sorbitol,
  • Flesh that intertwine with fields like Sweetness. His Shoot research incorporates themes from Photosynthesis, Vegetative reproduction, Leafy and Growing season.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Horticulture (41.92%)
  • Botany (35.81%)
  • Agronomy (20.09%)

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

  • Horticulture (41.92%)
  • Sugar (18.78%)
  • Agronomy (20.09%)

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

Michel Génard mainly focuses on Horticulture, Sugar, Agronomy, Botany and Cultivar. His study looks at the relationship between Horticulture and topics such as Dry matter, which overlap with Respiration. His research in Sugar intersects with topics in Starch, Sucrose, Carbohydrate metabolism, Dry weight and Phloem.

His Agronomy research incorporates elements of Fruit tree, Abiotic component and Transpiration. Michel Génard has researched Botany in several fields, including Organoleptic, Titratable acid, Pulp, Sweetness and Cell expansion. Michel Génard usually deals with Cultivar and limits it to topics linked to Prunus and Genome and Gene.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Epigenetics for Plant Improvement: Current Knowledge and Modeling Avenues (76 citations)
  • Metabolomic profiling in tomato reveals diel compositional changes in fruit affected by source–sink relationships (40 citations)
  • Putting primary metabolism into perspective to obtain better fruits. (39 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Horticulture

His main research concerns Botany, Horticulture, Transpiration, Cultivar and Sugar. Horticulture is closely attributed to Sweetness in his study. The Transpiration study combines topics in areas such as Dry matter and Agronomy.

His study looks at the intersection of Cultivar and topics like Prunus with Shoot, Crop, Apple tree, Malus and Irrigation. In Shoot, Michel Génard works on issues like Photosynthesis, which are connected to Respiration. His studies in Sugar integrate themes in fields like Carbohydrate metabolism, Osmotic pressure, Turgor pressure and Sucrose.
