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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Botany

Victor Flors mostly deals with Horticulture, Cell biology, Predation, Citrus reshni and Plant defense against herbivory. His research in Horticulture intersects with topics in Proline and Pathogen. His research integrates issues of Callose, Gene, Oxylipin metabolism, Expression pattern and Medicago truncatula in his study of Cell biology.

The Predation study combines topics in areas such as Methyl salicylate, Tetranychus urticae and Herbivore. His study of Citrus reshni brings together topics like Spider mite, Jasmonic acid, Pest control, PEST analysis and Biological pest control.
