Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Organic chemistry

Richard P. Pharis mostly deals with Gibberellin, Botany, Horticulture, Shoot and Biochemistry. The Gibberellin study combines topics in areas such as Hydroxylation, Chromatography, Bioassay, Gibberellic acid and Poaceae. In general Chromatography study, his work on High-performance liquid chromatography and Elution often relates to the realm of Glucoside, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His studies deal with areas such as Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Agronomy as well as Horticulture. His Shoot research integrates issues from Bolting, Rosette, Petiole and Brassica rapa. His studies in Biochemistry integrate themes in fields like Microspore and Embryo, Cell biology.

His most cited work include:

  • Abscisic acid, phaseic acid and gibberellin contents associated with dormancy and germination in barley (191 citations)
  • Identification of Gibberellins A1, A3, and Iso-A3 in Cultures of Azospirillum lipoferum (172 citations)
  • Use of insoluble polyvinylpyrrolidone for purification of plant extracts and chromatography of plant hormones (149 citations)

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

Richard P. Pharis mainly focuses on Gibberellin, Botany, Shoot, Horticulture and Biochemistry. His Gibberellin study which covers Chromatography that intersects with Bioassay. His Botany study is mostly concerned with photoperiodism, Poaceae, Inflorescence, Plant physiology and Douglas fir.

Richard P. Pharis has researched photoperiodism in several fields, including Lolium and Apex. His Shoot research includes themes of Plant stem, Ecotype, Stellaria longipes and Seedling. The various areas that Richard P. Pharis examines in his Biochemistry study include Microspore and Embryo, Cell biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Gibberellin (70.64%)
  • Botany (58.30%)
  • Shoot (27.23%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2001-2018)?

  • Botany (58.30%)
  • Gibberellin (70.64%)
  • Shoot (27.23%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Gibberellin, Shoot, Brassinolide and Biochemistry. As a part of the same scientific family, Richard P. Pharis mostly works in the field of Botany, focusing on Agronomy and, on occasion, Biomass. His Gibberellin study contributes to a more complete understanding of Horticulture.

His research integrates issues of Pinus densiflora, Pasture and Seedling in his study of Shoot. His Brassinolide research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Methylene, Thiolactone, Stereochemistry and Endogeny. His Biochemistry research includes elements of Abiotic component and Embryo, Cell biology.

Between 2001 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Abscisic acid, phaseic acid and gibberellin contents associated with dormancy and germination in barley (191 citations)
  • Uncoupling light quality from light irradiance effects in Helianthus annuus shoots: putative roles for plant hormones in leaf and internode growth (107 citations)
  • Stress-related hormones and glycinebetaine interplay in protection of photosynthesis under abiotic stress conditions (68 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Organic chemistry

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Gibberellin, Biochemistry, Cell biology and Dormancy. His work in the fields of Botany, such as Chionochloa, overlaps with other areas such as Predator satiation. His Gibberellin study incorporates themes from Sunflower, Helianthus annuus, Endosperm, Herbaceous plant and Photosynthetically active radiation.

His study in Helianthus annuus is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Plant stem and Shoot. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Embryo under Biochemistry, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Microspore, Gibberellic acid and Anthesis. His Horticulture research focuses on Endogeny and how it relates to Plant physiology.
