Ron Porat

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Botany
• Biochemistry
• Gene

His primary scientific interests are in Postharvest, Horticulture, Citrus paradisi, Botany and Penicillium digitatum. His work carried out in the field of Postharvest brings together such families of science as Citrus fruit and Flavor, Food science. His research integrates issues of Stearic acid and Oleic acid in his study of Food science.

His study in the fields of Orange, Rutaceae and Cold tolerance under the domain of Horticulture overlaps with other disciplines such as Weight loss. In the field of Botany, his study on Phalaenopsis, Flor and Wilting overlaps with subjects such as Pollination. His studies in Penicillium digitatum integrate themes in fields like Spore germination, [Candida] oleophila and Plant disease resistance.

His most cited work include:

• Transcript and metabolite profiling during cold acclimation of Arabidopsis reveals an intricate relationship of cold-regulated gene expression with modifications in metabolite content. (327 citations)
• Effects of ethylene and 1-methylcyclopropene on the postharvest qualities of ‘Shamouti’ oranges (262 citations)
• Induction of Resistance to Penicillium digitatum in Grapefruit by the Yeast Biocontrol Agent Candida oleophila. (232 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Postharvest, Horticulture, Food science, Botany and Citrus paradisi. His Postharvest research incorporates themes from Browning and Oroblanco. The study incorporates disciplines such as Transcriptome and 1-Methylcyclopropene in addition to Horticulture.

His work on Dendrobium, Cultivar and Wilting as part of general Botany research is often related to Ascorbic acid, thus linking different fields of science. The Citrus paradisi study combines topics in areas such as Heat shock protein, Citrus × sinensis, Penicillium digitatum and Biochemistry. His work deals with themes such as Plant disease resistance, Microbiology, Spore germination and Chitinase, which intersect with Penicillium digitatum.

He most often published in these fields:

• Postharvest (39.60%)
• Horticulture (37.62%)
• Food science (31.68%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

• Horticulture (37.62%)
• Food science (31.68%)
• Postharvest (39.60%)

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

Ron Porat mainly focuses on Horticulture, Food science, Postharvest, Flavor and Transcriptome. His Horticulture study incorporates themes from Gene and Botany. His Oleic acid study in the realm of Botany connects with subjects such as Food chemistry.

His study in Food science is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Citrus fruit and Citrus paradisi. His Postharvest study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Browning and 1-Methylcyclopropene. He has included themes like Aril and Sensory analysis in his Flavor study.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Development of polysaccharides-based edible coatings for citrus fruits: a layer-by-layer approach. (80 citations)
• Postharvest losses of fruit and vegetables during retail and in consumers’ homes: Quantifications, causes, and means of prevention (69 citations)
• Effects of the ethylene-action inhibitor 1-methylcyclopropene on postharvest quality of non-climacteric fruit crops (53 citations)

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

• Botany
• Biochemistry
• Gene

Botany, Postharvest, Horticulture, Food science and Aroma are his primary areas of study. Ron Porat has researched Postharvest in several fields, including Browning and 1-Methylcyclopropene. Ron Porat interconnects Ripening, Berry, Rachis and Respiration in the investigation of issues within 1-Methylcyclopropene.

His research in the fields of Citrus fruit overlaps with other disciplines such as Quality. His Aroma research integrates issues from Hybrid and Polysaccharide. As a member of one scientific family, Ron Porat mostly works in the field of Hybrid, focusing on Tangor and, on occasion, Sweetness, Citrus × sinensis, Citrus nobilis, Citrus unshiu and Citrus paradisi.
