Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Horticulture

His primary areas of study are Horticulture, Ripening, Botany, Carica and Postharvest. His work on Ornamental plant is typically connected to Data set as part of general Horticulture study, connecting several disciplines of science. His work in Ripening addresses subjects such as Biochemistry, which are connected to disciplines such as Food science.

His work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as Genome, Gene, Genome size and Genetic diversity. In general Gene study, his work on Plant disease resistance, Chloroplast DNA, Functional genomics and Nuclear gene often relates to the realm of Lotus effect, thereby connecting several areas of interest. Robert E. Paull has included themes like Genetic relationship, Genetics and Flesh in his Carica study.

His most cited work include:

  • The draft genome of the transgenic tropical fruit tree papaya (Carica papaya Linnaeus) (816 citations)
  • The genome of the pear (Pyrus bretschneideri Rehd.) (534 citations)
  • The pineapple genome and the evolution of CAM photosynthesis (266 citations)

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

Robert E. Paull focuses on Horticulture, Botany, Postharvest, Ripening and Carica. His Horticulture research includes themes of Sugar, Quality and Agronomy. His Sugar study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Anthesis and Sucrose synthase.

His Postharvest research integrates issues from Shelf life, Dry matter, Protea and Respiration rate. Robert E. Paull has researched Ripening in several fields, including Biochemistry and Respiration. His work deals with themes such as Genetics and Gene, which intersect with Carica.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Horticulture (54.44%)
  • Botany (31.36%)
  • Postharvest (27.81%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Horticulture (54.44%)
  • Postharvest (27.81%)
  • Gene (6.51%)

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

His main research concerns Horticulture, Postharvest, Gene, Botany and Genome. The Fruit development, Carica, Abscission and Ripening research Robert E. Paull does as part of his general Horticulture study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Mathematics, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His research integrates issues of Symptom development and Biological pest control in his study of Postharvest.

His Gene research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Oligopeptidase and Coffea arabica. His study in Botany is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Genome size and Gene mapping. The study incorporates disciplines such as Ananas, Lotus and DNA sequencing in addition to Genome.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The genome of the pear (Pyrus bretschneideri Rehd.) (534 citations)
  • The pineapple genome and the evolution of CAM photosynthesis (266 citations)
  • Genome of the long-living sacred lotus ( Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) (237 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Horticulture

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genome, Gene, Botany, Horticulture and Genetics. His Genome study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ananas, DNA sequencing and Nelumbo. His Gene study is concerned with the larger field of Biochemistry.

His Carica study in the realm of Botany interacts with subjects such as Trait. His research in Horticulture intersects with topics in Quantitative trait locus, Growing season, Nelumbo nucifera and Genetic pathways. In Genome size, Robert E. Paull works on issues like Genetic diversity, which are connected to Cultivar.
