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

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Gene

Trevor A. Thorpe focuses on Biochemistry, Somatic embryogenesis, Tissue culture, Nucleotide and Inosine. His study focuses on the intersection of Somatic embryogenesis and fields such as Somatic cell with connections in the field of Embryo quality, Abscisic acid and Developmental biology. Trevor A. Thorpe is studying Plant tissue culture, which is a component of Tissue culture.

Trevor A. Thorpe interconnects Osmotic pressure, Botany, Callus, Agricultural biotechnology and Agarose in the investigation of issues within Plant tissue culture. His study in Botany is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Organogenesis, Biotechnology and Genetic transfer.
