Mikal E. Saltveit

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Botany
• Enzyme
• Biochemistry

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Browning, Biochemistry, Horticulture and Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase. His Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Salicylic acid and Phenylpropanoid metabolism. His Browning research incorporates elements of Cultivar and Metabolism.

His work in the fields of Biochemistry, such as Polyphenol oxidase, Peroxidase, Heat shock protein and APX, overlaps with other areas such as Glutathione reductase. His work in Horticulture tackles topics such as Enzyme assay which are related to areas like Seedling and Radicle. His Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase research focuses on subjects like Lactuca, which are linked to Phenols.

His most cited work include:

• Effect of ethylene on quality of fresh fruits and vegetables (409 citations)
• Chilling tolerance of maize, cucumber and rice seedling leaves and roots are differentially affected by salicylic acid (244 citations)
• Wound induced changes in phenolic metabolism and tissue browning are altered by heat shock (242 citations)

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

His main research concerns Horticulture, Botany, Biochemistry, Ripening and Food science. He focuses mostly in the field of Horticulture, narrowing it down to matters related to Agronomy and, in some cases, Respiration. Mikal E. Saltveit has researched Botany in several fields, including Mannitol and Shelf life.

His study in Ripening is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ethanol and Lycopersicon. The study incorporates disciplines such as L-ascorbate peroxidase and Oryza sativa in addition to Radicle. The various areas that Mikal E. Saltveit examines in his Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase study include Lactuca, Enzyme assay and Browning.

He most often published in these fields:

• Horticulture (48.20%)
• Botany (33.81%)
• Biochemistry (23.02%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2020)?

• Horticulture (48.20%)
• Botany (33.81%)
• Legume (7.19%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Horticulture, Botany, Legume, Postharvest and Chilling injury. The concepts of his Horticulture study are interwoven with issues in Osmotic shock and Cyanide. His work on Phytotoxicity and Quinclorac as part of general Botany research is frequently linked to Target site, Digitaria ischaemum and ACC SYNTHASE, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His Legume research integrates issues from Phenols and Organic chemistry. His work deals with themes such as Environmental chemistry and Oxygen, which intersect with Postharvest. His research investigates the connection with Chilling injury and areas like Agronomy which intersect with concerns in Solanum, Solanaceae and Membrane integrity.

Between 2005 and 2020, his most popular works were:

• Fresh-cut Vegetables (61 citations)
• Assessment of tomato pericarp mechanical damage using multivariate analysis of magnetic resonance images. (51 citations)
• Mechanism of resistance to quinclorac in smooth crabgrass (Digitaria ischaemum) (49 citations)

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

• Botany
• Enzyme
• Biochemistry

Mikal E. Saltveit mostly deals with Horticulture, Ripening, Solanum, Botany and Physical Barrier. Horticulture connects with themes related to Respiration in his study. His Ripening research incorporates themes from Legume, Agronomy, Electrolyte leakage and Membrane integrity.

His Solanum study combines topics in areas such as Metabolite, Shikimic acid, Chilling injury and Solanaceae. His research on Botany frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Cyanide. His Physical Barrier research spans across into fields like Layer, Environmental science, Chemical contaminants and Pulp and paper industry.
