Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Botany

Biochemistry, Catharanthus roseus, Vindoline, Catharanthus and Catharanthine are his primary areas of study. His Molecular biology research extends to the thematically linked field of Biochemistry. His Catharanthus roseus study contributes to a more complete understanding of Botany.

His Vindoline research overlaps with other disciplines such as Strictosidine synthase, Strictosidine, Tabersonine and Indole alkaloid. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Papaver, Papaveraceae, Benzylisoquinoline and Metabolic pathway. His Biosynthesis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Developmental biology, Morphogenesis, Adaptation, Subcellular localization and Metabolism.

His most cited work include:

  • The Arabidopsis NPR1 Protein Is a Receptor for the Plant Defense Hormone Salicylic Acid (457 citations)
  • Multicellular Compartmentation of Catharanthus roseus Alkaloid Biosynthesis Predicts Intercellular Translocation of a Pathway Intermediate (290 citations)
  • The cell and developmental biology of alkaloid biosynthesis (288 citations)

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

Vincenzo De Luca spends much of his time researching Biochemistry, Catharanthus roseus, Vindoline, Biosynthesis and Catharanthus. His is involved in several facets of Biochemistry study, as is seen by his studies on Enzyme, Indole alkaloid, Gene, Enzyme assay and Metabolic pathway. His study explores the link between Enzyme and topics such as Molecular biology that cross with problems in Aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase.

His work on Tabersonine as part of general Catharanthus roseus study is frequently linked to Catharanthine, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Tabersonine study combines topics in areas such as Aspidosperma and Cytochrome P450. His study in Catharanthus is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Strictosidine synthase, Methyl jasmonate and Strictosidine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (75.61%)
  • Catharanthus roseus (53.66%)
  • Vindoline (35.37%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Biochemistry (75.61%)
  • Catharanthus roseus (53.66%)
  • Tabersonine (17.07%)

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

Vincenzo De Luca mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Catharanthus roseus, Tabersonine, Catharanthine and Vindoline. His work on Indole alkaloid, Catharanthus and Enzyme as part of his general Biochemistry study is frequently connected to Rauvolfia serpentina, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His research investigates the connection with Enzyme and areas like Molecular cloning which intersect with concerns in Ferulic acid and Phenylpropanoid.

He conducted interdisciplinary study in his works that combined Catharanthus roseus and Iridoid. He interconnects Aspidosperma and Biosynthesis in the investigation of issues within Tabersonine. His Aspidosperma study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Strychnos and Alkaloid.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Solution of the multistep pathway for assembly of corynanthean, strychnos, iboga, and aspidosperma monoterpenoid indole alkaloids from 19E-geissoschizine (42 citations)
  • Completion of the canonical pathway for assembly of anticancer drugs vincristine/vinblastine in Catharanthus roseus. (27 citations)
  • Discovery and metabolic engineering of iridoid/secoiridoid and monoterpenoid indole alkaloid biosynthesis (24 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Botany

His primary scientific interests are in Biochemistry, Catharanthus roseus, Catharanthine, Tabersonine and Biosynthesis. His study in Catharanthus, Mutant, Indole test, Candidate gene and Enzyme is carried out as part of his Biochemistry studies. He integrates Mutant and Vindoline in his research.

Vincenzo De Luca has included themes like Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yeast, Synthetic biology and Strictosidine in his Indole test study. Vincenzo De Luca combines subjects such as Gene Annotation, Indole alkaloid, DNA sequencing and Metabolic engineering with his study of Candidate gene. The study incorporates disciplines such as Strychnos, Alkaloid and Aspidosperma in addition to Enzyme.
