Overview

What is he best known for?

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)
  • Seasonal relationships between leaf nitrogen content (photosynthetic capacity) and leaf canopy light exposure in peach (Prunus persica) (197 citations)
  • Orchard factors affecting postharvest stone fruit quality (194 citations)

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

Theodore M. DeJong mostly deals with Horticulture, Botany, Agronomy, Prunus and Shoot. He frequently studies issues relating to Growing season and Horticulture. His work on Photosynthesis, Canopy, Prunus dulcis and Stomatal conductance as part of general Botany research is frequently linked to Spur, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Nutrient and Respiration. His work deals with themes such as Vegetative reproduction, Dry matter, Growth rate, Dry weight and Rosaceae, which intersect with Prunus. His work on Epicormic shoot as part of general Shoot study is frequently linked to Axillary bud, bridging the gap between disciplines.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Horticulture (53.25%)
  • Botany (41.06%)
  • Agronomy (29.67%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Horticulture (53.25%)
  • Shoot (20.33%)
  • Botany (41.06%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Horticulture, Shoot, Botany, Agronomy and Rootstock. His Horticulture research incorporates themes from Phenology and Growing season. His Shoot research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Vegetative reproduction and Phyllochron.

Theodore M. DeJong undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Botany and Spur through his works. His Agronomy research includes elements of Photosynthesis and Transpiration. His research in Rootstock intersects with topics in Xylem, Bark and Pruning.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Using functional–structural plant models to study, understand and integrate plant development and ecophysiology. (65 citations)
  • Detecting nonlinear response of spring phenology to climate change by Bayesian analysis (64 citations)
  • A biologically based approach to modeling spring phenology in temperate deciduous trees (42 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Horticulture

Theodore M. DeJong mainly investigates Horticulture, Agronomy, Shoot, Ecology and Cultivar. He combines subjects such as Spring and Botany with his study of Horticulture. His Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Photosynthesis, Soil science, Work and Xylem.

His research on Shoot frequently links to adjacent areas such as Prunus. The Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Biochemical engineering and Annual growth cycle of grapevines. The study incorporates disciplines such as Fruit tree, Hydraulic conductance and Sowing in addition to Cultivar.
