What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Botany

His primary areas of study are Anthocyanin, Botany, Food science, Polyphenol and Flavonoid. His Anthocyanin research includes elements of Ripening and Hass avocado. His research integrates issues of Genetics and MYB in his study of Botany.

Tony K. McGhie focuses mostly in the field of Food science, narrowing it down to topics relating to Flavonols and, in certain cases, Gut flora. His work deals with themes such as Cultivar and Pharmacology, which intersect with Polyphenol. Tony K. McGhie has included themes like Berry and Bioavailability in his Biochemistry study.

His most cited work include:

  • The bioavailability and absorption of anthocyanins : Towards a better understanding (424 citations)
  • An R2R3 MYB transcription factor associated with regulation of the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway in Rosaceae (411 citations)
  • Anthocyanin glycosides from berry fruit are absorbed and excreted unmetabolized by both humans and rats (222 citations)

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

Botany, Anthocyanin, Biochemistry, Food science and Horticulture are his primary areas of study. His is involved in several facets of Botany study, as is seen by his studies on Actinidia chinensis, Actinidia, Cultivar, Malus and Carotenoid. The study incorporates disciplines such as Gene and Gene family in addition to Malus.

His Anthocyanin research is multidisciplinary, relying on both BOYSENBERRY, Rubus, Polyphenol and Flavonoid. His Polyphenol research includes elements of Berry and Pharmacology. Biochemistry connects with themes related to Chromatography in his study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Food science (18.12%)
  • Botany (27.54%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Anthocyanin, Food science, Botany, Biochemistry and Horticulture. His Anthocyanin research includes themes of Ripening, Secretion, Flavonoid, Chemokine and Pharmacology. His Food science study combines topics in areas such as Rosaceae and Solanaceae.

His Botany research incorporates elements of Selenium and Sodium selenate. The various areas that Tony K. McGhie examines in his Biochemistry study include Bacteroides and Bacteria. His studies deal with areas such as Quantitative trait locus and Chemical composition as well as Horticulture.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Solar UV light regulates flavonoid metabolism in apple (Malus x domestica) (58 citations)
  • Genetic analysis of the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha reveals that R2R3MYB activation of flavonoid production in response to abiotic stress is an ancient character in land plants. (42 citations)
  • Acclimation to UV-B radiation and visible light in Lactuca sativa involves up-regulation of photosynthetic performance and orchestration of metabolome-wide responses. (40 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, MYB, Anthocyanin, Gene expression and Arabidopsis. He has included themes like Secondary metabolism, Metabolomics and Metabolism in his Botany study. His research integrates issues of Ripening, Flavonoid and Flavonol synthase in his study of MYB.

His Anthocyanin research is classified as research in Food science. The study incorporates disciplines such as Rootstock, Dwarfing, Auxin influx, Polar auxin transport and Shoot in addition to Gene expression. His Arabidopsis study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Petunia, DNA-binding domain, Transcription factor and Promoter.
