Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Cold acclimation, Woody plant, Perennial plant and Dormancy. His Botany study combines topics in areas such as Gene and Horticulture. His study in Cold acclimation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Expressed sequence tag, Ericaceae, Prunus, Freezing tolerance and Aquaporin.

His research in Ericaceae intersects with topics in Bud and Vaccinium. His Prunus study incorporates themes from Amino acid and Bark. In his work, Chilling requirement is strongly intertwined with Hardiness, which is a subfield of Dormancy.

His most cited work include:

  • Induction and Release of Bud Dormancy in Woody Perennials: A Science Comes of Age (252 citations)
  • Deacclimation and reacclimation of cold-hardy plants: Current understanding and emerging concepts (231 citations)
  • Cold Acclimation in Genetically Related (Sibling) Deciduous and Evergreen Peach (Prunus persica [L.] Batsch): I. Seasonal Changes in Cold Hardiness and Polypeptides of Bark and Xylem Tissues. (195 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Cold acclimation, Hardiness, Horticulture and Perennial plant. His study in Dormancy, Woody plant, Ericaceae, Evergreen and Bark falls under the purview of Botany. His Evergreen research integrates issues from Overwintering and Deciduous.

His Bark research includes themes of Storage protein and Prunus. His studies in Cold acclimation integrate themes in fields like Photosynthesis, Expressed sequence tag and Vaccinium. The various areas that Rajeev Arora examines in his Hardiness study include Hydrangea, Chilling requirement, Xylem and Temperate climate.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (55.92%)
  • Cold acclimation (37.50%)
  • Hardiness (25.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Botany (55.92%)
  • Cold acclimation (37.50%)
  • Polyaniline (5.92%)

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

His primary areas of study are Botany, Cold acclimation, Polyaniline, Nanocomposite and Spinacia. Rajeev Arora incorporates Botany and Photoinhibition in his studies. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Photosynthesis, Rhododendron catawbiense, GenBank and Horticulture.

The Polyaniline study which covers Conductive polymer that intersects with Aqueous solution. His studies deal with areas such as Genetically modified crops and Prunus as well as Shoot. His Hardiness research incorporates elements of Dormancy, Regulation of gene expression and Woody plant.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Adsorption of Heavy Metals–A Review (102 citations)
  • Mechanism of freeze-thaw injury and recovery: A cool retrospective and warming up to new ideas. (25 citations)
  • An apple rootstock overexpressing a peach CBF gene alters growth and flowering in the scion but does not impact cold hardiness or dormancy. (21 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Rajeev Arora spends much of his time researching Botany, Spinacia, Cold acclimation, Proline and Dormancy. Rajeev Arora regularly links together related areas like Animal science in his Botany studies. His research integrates issues of Woody plant and Horticulture in his study of Cold acclimation.

His work on Osmoprotectant as part of general Proline research is frequently linked to Ascorbic acid, bridging the gap between disciplines. The study incorporates disciplines such as Freezing tolerance, Climate change and Hardiness in addition to Dormancy. His Cultivar research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Perennial plant, Juvenile and Cutting.
