Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Tissue culture, Callus, Shoot and Horticulture. His Botany research includes elements of Explant culture, Plantlet, Somatic embryogenesis and Embryo. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Auxin under Tissue culture, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Embryo culture and Picloram.

He has included themes like Primordium and Cotyledon in his Shoot study. The Primordium study combines topics in areas such as Organogenesis and Cytokinin. His Horticulture research incorporates themes from Kinetin and Darkness.

His most cited work include:

  • Leaf Senescence: Correlated with Increased Levels of Membrane Permeability and Lipid Peroxidation, and Decreased Levels of Superoxide Dismutase and Catalase (2622 citations)
  • Plant hormones and plant growth regulators in plant tissue culture (320 citations)
  • Plant tissue culture media. (317 citations)

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

Trevor A. Thorpe mainly focuses on Botany, Shoot, Biochemistry, Tissue culture and Callus. His Botany research incorporates elements of Explant culture, Micropropagation, Organogenesis and Horticulture. His research integrates issues of Meristem and Germination in his study of Explant culture.

His research investigates the connection with Shoot and areas like Cytokinin which intersect with concerns in Basal shoot. As a part of the same scientific family, Trevor A. Thorpe mostly works in the field of Tissue culture, focusing on Brassica and, on occasion, Canola. Trevor A. Thorpe focuses mostly in the field of Callus, narrowing it down to topics relating to Nicotiana tabacum and, in certain cases, Solanaceae and Developmental biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (55.41%)
  • Shoot (36.80%)
  • Biochemistry (31.17%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2000-2016)?

  • Biochemistry (31.17%)
  • Nucleotide (7.36%)
  • Somatic embryogenesis (12.55%)

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

His primary areas of study are Biochemistry, Nucleotide, Somatic embryogenesis, Botany and Uridine. His Nucleotide research includes themes of Uracil, Nucleic acid, De novo synthesis and Pyrimidine metabolism. The study incorporates disciplines such as Morphogenesis, Abscisic acid and Somatic cell in addition to Somatic embryogenesis.

Trevor A. Thorpe has researched Botany in several fields, including Explant culture, Primordium and Tissue culture. His work deals with themes such as Organogenesis and Auxin, which intersect with Explant culture. While the research belongs to areas of Shoot, he spends his time largely on the problem of Nicotiana tabacum, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Cell division, Kinetin, Cytokinin and Cell biology.

Between 2000 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Purine and pyrimidine nucleotide metabolism in higher plants. (229 citations)
  • History of plant tissue culture (153 citations)
  • The components of plant tissue culture media II. Organic additions, osmotic and pH effects, and support systems (113 citations)

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. His research in Nucleotide intersects with topics in Nicotinamide, Trigonelline, Nicotinate phosphoribosyltransferase, Purine and NAD+ kinase.
