Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Photosynthesis
  • Enzyme

Miquel Ribas-Carbo mainly focuses on Botany, Photosynthesis, Stomatal conductance, Chlorophyll fluorescence and Conductance. In the subject of general Botany, his work in Respiration and Water stress is often linked to Abscisic acid and Observational error, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His Alternative oxidase study in the realm of Respiration connects with subjects such as Alternative complement pathway.

His research in Photosynthesis intersects with topics in Irrigation management, Plant species and Metabolic pathway. His Stomatal conductance study combines topics in areas such as Agronomy, Canopy, Water-use efficiency, Horticulture and Carbon dioxide. His studies examine the connections between Chlorophyll fluorescence and genetics, as well as such issues in Biophysics, with regards to Compensation point, Mole, Phosphate and Isotopes of carbon.

His most cited work include:

  • Coupled Photosynthesis-Stomatal Conductance Model for Leaves of C4 Plants (967 citations)
  • Mesophyll conductance to CO2: current knowledge and future prospects (776 citations)
  • Keeping a positive carbon balance under adverse conditions: responses of photosynthesis and respiration to water stress (533 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Photosynthesis, Botany, Respiration, Alternative oxidase and Biochemistry. The various areas that Miquel Ribas-Carbo examines in his Photosynthesis study include Biophysics and Agronomy. His study looks at the relationship between Botany and topics such as Horticulture, which overlap with Acclimatization.

His Respiration research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cytochrome and Darkness. Miquel Ribas-Carbo has included themes like Oxidase test, Electron transport chain, Cytochrome c oxidase and Cellular respiration in his Alternative oxidase study. The concepts of his Stomatal conductance study are interwoven with issues in Canopy, Carbon dioxide and Transpiration.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Photosynthesis (44.76%)
  • Botany (41.96%)
  • Respiration (37.06%)

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

  • Botany (41.96%)
  • Photosynthesis (44.76%)
  • Alternative oxidase (30.77%)

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

His primary areas of study are Botany, Photosynthesis, Alternative oxidase, Biochemistry and Metabolism. His study on Alternative respiration, RuBisCO, Respiration and Ecophysiology is often connected to O2 consumption as part of broader study in Botany. His Photosynthesis research focuses on Stomatal conductance in particular.

His study in Stomatal conductance is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Solanum pimpinellifolium and Crop yield. His studies in Alternative oxidase integrate themes in fields like Electron transport chain, Cytochrome c oxidase and Citric acid cycle. His study in the fields of Thioredoxin, Superoxide dismutase, Metabolic pathway and Cytochrome under the domain of Biochemistry overlaps with other disciplines such as Extreme environment.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Anatomical constraints to nonstomatal diffusion conductance and photosynthesis in lycophytes and bryophytes (30 citations)
  • PGPR Reduce Root Respiration and Oxidative Stress Enhancing Spartina maritima Root Growth and Heavy Metal Rhizoaccumulation. (21 citations)
  • The Lack of Mitochondrial Thioredoxin TRXo1 Affects In Vivo Alternative Oxidase Activity and Carbon Metabolism under Different Light Conditions (16 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Ecology

Alternative oxidase, Biochemistry, Photosynthesis, Botany and Solanum are his primary areas of study. In general Alternative oxidase study, his work on Alternative oxidase activity often relates to the realm of Redox, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His Leaf mass study, which is part of a larger body of work in Photosynthesis, is frequently linked to Conductance and Low exposure, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Botany is intertwined with Bioaugmentation, Hyperaccumulator, Abiotic stress, Spartina maritima and Diffusion in his study. His studies deal with areas such as Cytochrome c oxidase, Enzyme and Metabolism as well as Solanum. His Respiration research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cytochrome, Colobanthus quitensis and Antioxidant.
