Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Enzyme

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Biochemistry, Antioxidant, Photosynthesis and Oxidative stress. His study ties his expertise on Senescence together with the subject of Botany. His work on Tocopherol and Carnosic acid is typically connected to Ascorbic acid as part of general Antioxidant study, connecting several disciplines of science.

His Photosynthesis research integrates issues from Salvia officinalis, Carotenoid and Terpenoid. Sergi Munné-Bosch interconnects Chloroplast and Abiotic component in the investigation of issues within Oxidative stress. His Xanthophyll study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Salicylic acid, Lutein and Horticulture.

His most cited work include:

  • The Function of Tocopherols and Tocotrienols in Plants (527 citations)
  • Die and let live: leaf senescence contributes to plant survival under drought stress (457 citations)
  • The role of α-tocopherol in plant stress tolerance (403 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Abscisic acid, Horticulture, Biochemistry and Photosynthesis. His research combines Senescence and Botany. The study incorporates disciplines such as Salicylic acid, Jasmonic acid, Zeatin, Gibberellin and Auxin in addition to Abscisic acid.

His studies in Horticulture integrate themes in fields like Acclimatization and Rosmarinus. His study in the field of Stomatal conductance is also linked to topics like Water content. While the research belongs to areas of Oxidative stress, Sergi Munné-Bosch spends his time largely on the problem of Reactive oxygen species, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Abiotic component.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (54.88%)
  • Abscisic acid (24.80%)
  • Horticulture (24.80%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Horticulture (24.80%)
  • Abscisic acid (24.80%)
  • Salicylic acid (14.63%)

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

Sergi Munné-Bosch focuses on Horticulture, Abscisic acid, Salicylic acid, Gibberellin and Jasmonic acid. His Horticulture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Photoprotection, Zeatin and Plant physiology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Seed dormancy, Dormancy, Jasmonate and Botany.

He does research in Botany, focusing on Monocarpic specifically. The various areas that Sergi Munné-Bosch examines in his Salicylic acid study include Melatonin and Sugar. His Jasmonic acid research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cytokinin and Abiotic stress.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Nanofertilizer use for sustainable agriculture: Advantages and limitations. (39 citations)
  • Malondialdehyde: Facts and Artifacts. (29 citations)
  • Biosynthesis, Metabolism and Function of Auxin, Salicylic Acid and Melatonin in Climacteric and Non-climacteric Fruits (26 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cell biology, Horticulture, Jasmonic acid, Retrograde signaling and Biochemistry. The concepts of his Horticulture study are interwoven with issues in Salicylic acid and Transpiration. His studies deal with areas such as Abscisic acid, Antioxidant, Hydrolysis, Abiotic stress and Cytokinin as well as Jasmonic acid.

His Retrograde signaling research incorporates themes from Chloroplast and Vitamin E. His study in Lipid peroxidation and Biosynthesis falls under the purview of Biochemistry. His work deals with themes such as Malondialdehyde and Reactive oxygen species, Reactive oxygen species metabolism, which intersect with Lipid peroxidation.
