Philippe Matile

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Enzyme
• Botany
• Biochemistry

Philippe Matile mainly investigates Botany, Biochemistry, Chlorophyll, Catabolite repression and Hordeum vulgare. In general Botany study, his work on Chlorophyll breakdown, Hoya carnosa and Citrus medica often relates to the realm of Stephanotis floribunda and Odor, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His research in Chlorophyll intersects with topics in Oxygenase, Ferredoxin, Chloroplast and Plant physiology.

His work in Catabolite repression addresses issues such as Pheophorbide A, which are connected to fields such as Stereochemistry. He interconnects Invertase, Trehalose, Fructan and Maltose in the investigation of issues within Hordeum vulgare. Philippe Matile combines subjects such as Catabolism and Mutant with his study of Thylakoid.

His most cited work include:

• Chlorophyll Breakdown in Senescent Leaves. (283 citations)
• The Lytic Compartment of Plant Cells (255 citations)
• Metabolism of the Raffinose Family Oligosaccharides in Leaves of Ajuga reptans L. (Cold Acclimation, Translocation, and Sink to Source Transition: Discovery of Chain Elongation Enzyme). (230 citations)

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

Chlorophyll, Biochemistry, Botany, Hordeum vulgare and Chloroplast are his primary areas of study. His Chlorophyllase study, which is part of a larger body of work in Chlorophyll, is frequently linked to Festuca pratensis, bridging the gap between disciplines. His research investigates the connection between Biochemistry and topics such as Pheophorbide A that intersect with issues in Stereochemistry.

His Botany research focuses on Senescence and how it connects with Gene expression. His Hordeum vulgare research focuses on subjects like Photosynthetic pigment, which are linked to DCMU. His Chloroplast research incorporates elements of Lysis, Protoplast and Cytosol.

He most often published in these fields:

• Chlorophyll (75.34%)
• Biochemistry (68.49%)
• Botany (35.62%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1996-2004)?

• Chlorophyll (75.34%)
• Biochemistry (68.49%)
• Catabolite repression (19.18%)

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

His primary areas of study are Chlorophyll, Biochemistry, Catabolite repression, Chloroplast and Oxygenase. His biological study focuses on Chlorophyll breakdown. Philippe Matile has researched Biochemistry in several fields, including Ripening and Hordeum vulgare.

His study on Catabolite repression also encompasses disciplines like

• Reductase that intertwine with fields like Pheophorbide A,
• Ferredoxin, which have a strong connection to Enzyme kinetics and Oxidase test. His Chloroplast research integrates issues from Senescence, Gene expression and Botany. In his research, Thylakoid, Abscisic acid and Jasmonic acid is intimately related to Catabolism, which falls under the overarching field of Oxygenase.

Between 1996 and 2004, his most popular works were:

• Biochemistry of Indian summer: physiology of autumnal leaf coloration (151 citations)
• Chlorophyll Breakdown in Senescent Chloroplasts (Cleavage of Pheophorbide a in Two Enzymic Steps). (136 citations)
• Solving the Riddle of Chlorophyll Breakdown (131 citations)

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

• Enzyme
• Metabolism
• Botany

His scientific interests lie mostly in Chlorophyll, Catabolite repression, Chlorophyll breakdown, Botany and Reductase. Philippe Matile focuses mostly in the field of Chlorophyll, narrowing it down to topics relating to Chloroplast and, in certain cases, Perennial plant. His Chlorophyll breakdown research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Photochemistry and Chlorophyll degradation.

His research combines Tetrapyrrole and Botany. The concepts of his Reductase study are interwoven with issues in Pheophorbide A, Cleavage and Stereochemistry. His study on Cleavage is covered under Biochemistry.
