Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Gene

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Biochemistry, Food science, Theobromine and Chromatography. His work deals with themes such as Ethanol fuel and Abiotic stress, which intersect with Botany. His Abiotic stress research incorporates themes from Glutathione peroxidase and Horticulture.

His studies in Food science integrate themes in fields like Decaffeinated coffee, Supercritical fluid extraction, Supercritical fluid and Husk. In his research, Allantoic acid, Uric acid, Allantoin and Serratia marcescens is intimately related to Xanthine, which falls under the overarching field of Theobromine. His Chromatography research incorporates elements of Methyl jasmonate and Rutaceae.

His most cited work include:

  • An Arabidopsis Mitochondrial Uncoupling Protein Confers Tolerance to Drought and Salt Stress in Transgenic Tobacco Plants (184 citations)
  • Influence of a Brassinosteroid Analogue on Antioxidant Enzymes in Rice Grown in Culture Medium with NaCl (124 citations)
  • A public-private partnership to unlock the untargeted kinome (114 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Horticulture, Biochemistry, Coffea arabica and Lignin. His is involved in several facets of Botany study, as is seen by his studies on Coffea, Rubiaceae, Shoot, Canephora and Eucalyptus. His Horticulture study incorporates themes from Photosynthesis and Sucrose.

He has included themes like Theobromine and Alkaloid in his Biochemistry study. As a part of the same scientific study, Paulo Mazzafera usually deals with the Coffea arabica, concentrating on Endosperm and frequently concerns with Sucrose synthase. His study on Lignin also encompasses disciplines like

  • Cell wall that connect with fields like Biophysics,
  • Biomass which is related to area like Biofuel.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (38.26%)
  • Horticulture (27.27%)
  • Biochemistry (27.27%)

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

  • Cell wall (13.64%)
  • Lignin (18.94%)
  • Horticulture (27.27%)

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

Paulo Mazzafera spends much of his time researching Cell wall, Lignin, Horticulture, Biochemistry and Photosynthesis. His Cell wall research includes elements of Biomass, Promoter and Xylem. The Lignin study combines topics in areas such as Arabidopsis thaliana, Biophysics, Cellulose and Saccharum.

His study in Horticulture is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Eucalyptus, Rhizome, Catalase and Plant physiology. Paulo Mazzafera integrates Differential with Botany in his study. Paulo Mazzafera regularly links together related areas like Polyphenol in his Botany studies.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Is embolism resistance in plant xylem associated with quantity and characteristics of lignin (27 citations)
  • Metabolic responses of Eucalyptus species to different temperature regimes. (19 citations)
  • Infrared Nanospectroscopy Reveals the Chemical Nature of Pit Membranes in Water-Conducting Cells of the Plant Xylem. (18 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Botany

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Lignin, Cell wall, Botany, Biophysics and Xylem. His Lignin study incorporates themes from Biochemistry and Biopolymer. His biological study deals with issues like Gene, which deal with fields such as Amino acid.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Promoter, Regulation of gene expression and Phylogenetics in addition to Botany. His Biophysics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Mutant and Polymer. His Xylem study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Middle lamella, Cellulose, Membrane and Plant physiology.
