Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Ecology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Somatic embryogenesis, Botany, Explant culture, Embryo and Callus. Miguel Pedro Guerra has researched Somatic embryogenesis in several fields, including Putrescine, Polyamine and Somatic cell. The study incorporates disciplines such as Inoculation, Horticulture, Starch and Cell biology in addition to Botany.

The various areas that Miguel Pedro Guerra examines in his Horticulture study include Phenols and Polyphenol. Miguel Pedro Guerra combines subjects such as Molecular biology, Glutamine and In vitro with his study of Embryo. His Callus research focuses on Picloram and how it connects with Inflorescence, Auxin and Bud.

His most cited work include:

  • Genome of Herbaspirillum seropedicae Strain SmR1, a Specialized Diazotrophic Endophyte of Tropical Grasses (154 citations)
  • Management and Conservation of Natural Populations in Atlantic Rain Forest: The Case Study of Palm Heart (Euterpe edulis Martius)1 (121 citations)
  • Polyamine effects on the endogenous polyamine contents, nitric oxide release, growth and differentiation of embryogenic suspension cultures of Araucaria angustifolia (Bert.) O. Ktze. (110 citations)

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

Botany, Somatic embryogenesis, Horticulture, Micropropagation and Embryo are his primary areas of study. As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Botany, narrowing it down to issues related to the Explant culture, and often Meristem. His Somatic embryogenesis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Callus and Somatic cell.

His research integrates issues of Picloram and Auxin in his study of Callus. Miguel Pedro Guerra studies Cultivar, a branch of Horticulture. A large part of his Embryo studies is devoted to Zygote.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (53.63%)
  • Somatic embryogenesis (38.71%)
  • Horticulture (28.23%)

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

  • Botany (53.63%)
  • Somatic embryogenesis (38.71%)
  • Horticulture (28.23%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Somatic embryogenesis, Horticulture, Chloroplast DNA and Evolutionary biology. Miguel Pedro Guerra undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Botany and Amyloplast through his research. His Somatic embryogenesis study contributes to a more complete understanding of Cell biology.

Miguel Pedro Guerra has researched Horticulture in several fields, including Explant culture and Phenology. His Explant culture research integrates issues from Kasugamycin and Bamboo. His work in Embryo tackles topics such as Micropropagation which are related to areas like Sucrose.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Linum usitatissimum L. plastome reveals atypical structural evolution, new editing sites, and the phylogenetic position of Linaceae within Malpighiales (25 citations)
  • The complete plastome of macaw palm [ Acrocomia aculeata (Jacq.) Lodd. ex Mart.] and extensive molecular analyses of the evolution of plastid genes in Arecaceae (19 citations)
  • Effect of Thermal Stress on Tissue Ultrastructure and Metabolite Profiles During Initiation of Radiata Pine Somatic Embryogenesis. (14 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Ecology

His primary scientific interests are in Chloroplast DNA, Somatic embryogenesis, Evolutionary biology, Cell biology and Bactris gasipaes. He works mostly in the field of Chloroplast DNA, limiting it down to topics relating to Germplasm and, in certain cases, Subfamily, Domestication, Arecaceae, Macaw and Acrocomia aculeata. His work deals with themes such as Protein degradation, DNA methylation, Carbohydrate metabolism, Abiotic stress and Metabolism, which intersect with Somatic embryogenesis.

His research in Cell biology intersects with topics in Metabolic pathway and Callus. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Phylogenetic tree, focusing on Botany and, on occasion, Genetic diversity. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Micropropagation, Theobroma and Somatic cell.
