Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

Gene
Enzyme
Botany

Her main research concerns Biochemistry, Solanum, Botany, Ripening and Metabolism. Many of her studies on Biochemistry involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Plant physiology. Her Solanum research includes themes of Wild tomato, Genome, Genomics, Auxin and Ovary.

The Wild tomato study combines topics in areas such as Plant genetics, Solanum tuberosum, Germplasm and Introgression. In the subject of general Botany, her work in Parthenocarpy and Gibberellin is often linked to Ethylene, Climacteric and Abiotic component, thereby combining diverse domains of study. Her Ripening research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Transcription factor, Gene, Metabolomics, Metabolite and Postharvest.

Her most cited work include:

The tomato genome sequence provides insights into fleshy fruit evolution (1991 citations)
Sucrose Efflux Mediated by SWEET Proteins as a Key Step for Phloem Transport (627 citations)
Metabolic priming by a secreted fungal effector (341 citations)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Biochemistry, Botany, Ripening, Solanum and Fragaria. Her work deals with themes such as Sugar and Sucrose, which intersect with Botany. Her Ripening study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Transcription factor, Abscisic acid, Metabolomics and Postharvest.

Her Transcription factor study incorporates themes from Microarray analysis techniques, Phenylpropanoid and Cell biology. The concepts of her Solanum study are interwoven with issues in Primary metabolite, Shoot and Wild tomato, Solanaceae. Her research on Fragaria also deals with topics like

Receptacle which intersects with area such as Arabidopsis,
Genetic marker and Allele most often made with reference to Ploidy.

She most often published in these fields:

Biochemistry (38.02%)
Botany (34.71%)
Ripening (35.54%)

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

Ripening (35.54%)
Quantitative trait locus (11.57%)
Postharvest (11.57%)

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

Sonia Osorio focuses on Ripening, Quantitative trait locus, Postharvest, Food science and Horticulture. Her work carried out in the field of Ripening brings together such families of science as Abscisic acid and Sucrose. Her Postharvest research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Organoleptic, Carotenoid and Metabolomics.

Her Food science research includes elements of Genetically modified tomato, Crop growth and Enzyme. As a part of the same scientific family, Sonia Osorio mostly works in the field of Introgression, focusing on Wild tomato and, on occasion, Solanum. Her study looks at the intersection of Botany and topics like Flesh with Woodland Strawberry.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

From Central to Specialized Metabolism: An Overview of Some Secondary Compounds Derived From the Primary Metabolism for Their Role in Conferring Nutritional and Organoleptic Characteristics to Fruit. (39 citations)
Computational aspects underlying genome to phenome analysis in plants. (22 citations)
Genetic and metabolic effects of ripening mutations and vine detachment on tomato fruit quality. (14 citations)

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

Gene
Enzyme
Botany

Primary metabolite, Quantitative trait locus, Metabolic pathway, Postharvest and Carotenoid are her primary areas of study. Sonia Osorio combines subjects such as Phenomics and Computational biology with her study of Quantitative trait locus. Her biological study deals with issues like Food science, which deal with fields such as Secondary metabolite and Secondary metabolism.

Her Postharvest study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Fructose, Solanum, Cultivar, Sucrose and Ripening. Her work in Sucrose addresses subjects such as Horticulture, which are connected to disciplines such as Solanaceae, Woodland Strawberry, Crop species and Gene targets. Sonia Osorio has included themes like Organoleptic, Metabolomics and Introgression in her Metabolite study.
