The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Horticulture

Theodore M. DeJong mostly deals with Prunus, Botany, Agronomy, Horticulture and Cultivar. Theodore M. DeJong has researched Prunus in several fields, including Dry weight, Rosaceae and Ripening. His work on Photosynthesis and Phloem as part of general Botany research is often related to Sorbitol and Overcast, thus linking different fields of science.

His work on Shoot and Vegetative reproduction as part of his general Agronomy study is frequently connected to Deficit irrigation, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His Fruit tree and Malus study, which is part of a larger body of work in Horticulture, is frequently linked to Fructose and Sorbitol transport, bridging the gap between disciplines. His studies in Cultivar integrate themes in fields like Relative growth rate, Thinning and Annual growth cycle of grapevines.

His most cited work include:

  • Using L-systems for modeling source-sink interactions, architecture and physiology of growing trees: the L-PEACH model. (292 citations)
