Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Horticulture
  • Photosynthesis

His main research concerns Horticulture, Berry, Shoot, Canopy and Veraison. Stefano Poni interconnects Wine, Viticulture and Transpiration in the investigation of issues within Horticulture. His study in Berry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Composition, Vine and Yield, Agronomy.

His studies in Shoot integrate themes in fields like Photosynthesis, Cultivar and Titratable acid. The Canopy study which covers Ripening that intersects with Crop. His Veraison research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Vineyard, Water use, Soil water and Drip irrigation.

His most cited work include:

  • Transcriptional responses to pre-flowering leaf defoliation in grapevine berry from different growing sites, years, and genotypes (484 citations)
  • Effects of Early Defoliation on Shoot Photosynthesis, Yield Components, and Grape Composition (196 citations)
  • Stomatal closure is induced by hydraulic signals and maintained by ABA in drought-stressed grapevine (152 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Horticulture, Canopy, Shoot, Yield and Berry. His studies deal with areas such as Botany and Transpiration as well as Horticulture. His Canopy research includes themes of Shading, Root system and Interception.

His Yield study combines topics in areas such as Crop, Wine, Phenology, Vineyard and Pruning. His Berry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Composition and Cultivar, Agronomy. The study incorporates disciplines such as Vegetative reproduction and Viticulture in addition to Veraison.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Horticulture (69.14%)
  • Canopy (35.80%)
  • Shoot (26.54%)

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

  • Horticulture (69.14%)
  • Canopy (35.80%)
  • Yield (25.31%)

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

Stefano Poni spends much of his time researching Horticulture, Canopy, Yield, Vine and Shoot. His Horticulture research includes elements of Photosynthesis and Transpiration. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biotic stress, Botrytis cinerea and Metabolic pathway.

Stefano Poni has researched Vine in several fields, including Dry matter and Pruning. His Shoot study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Inflorescence and Crop. As part of the same scientific family, Stefano Poni usually focuses on Ripening, concentrating on Berry and intersecting with Osmotic pressure.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Modelling grape growth in relation to whole-plant carbon and water fluxes. (19 citations)
  • Metabolic and transcriptional changes associated with the use of Ascophyllum nodosum extracts as tools to improve the quality of wine grapes (Vitis vinifera cv. Sangiovese) and their tolerance to biotic stress. (18 citations)
  • Delaying berry ripening of Bobal and Tempranillo grapevines by late leaf removal in a semi‐arid and temperate‐warm climate under different water regimes (14 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Horticulture
  • Photosynthesis

His main research concerns Horticulture, Stomatal conductance, Transpiration, Canopy and Cultivar. His Horticulture study incorporates themes from Photosynthesis and Water-use efficiency. His research in Water-use efficiency intersects with topics in Water stress, Vine and Rootstock.

Stefano Poni regularly ties together related areas like Morning in his Canopy studies. Stefano Poni interconnects Water use and Vapour Pressure Deficit in the investigation of issues within Cultivar. In his study, Yield and Temperate climate is inextricably linked to Ripening, which falls within the broad field of Berry.
