Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Genetics

Yaakov Tadmor spends much of his time researching Botany, Carotenoid, Lycopene, Food science and Aroma. His Botany research focuses on Ripening in particular. His Carotenoid research entails a greater understanding of Biochemistry.

His studies in Lycopene integrate themes in fields like Cucurbitaceae, Horticulture, Orange and Terpenoid. His research in Cucurbitaceae intersects with topics in Cucumis and Melon. His Food science study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as High-performance liquid chromatography, Polyphenol, Antioxidant and Cynara scolymus.

His most cited work include:

  • Analysis of antioxidative phenolic compounds in artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) (324 citations)
  • Unequal Segregation of Nuclear Genes in Plants (248 citations)
  • Enhanced Levels of the Aroma and Flavor Compound S-Linalool by Metabolic Engineering of the Terpenoid Pathway in Tomato Fruits (244 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Melon, Carotenoid, Horticulture and Cucumis. His Botany research incorporates elements of Food science and Aroma. His Melon study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Genetics, Gene, Allele, Chlorophyll and Metabolome.

His studies deal with areas such as Orange, Chromoplast and Terpenoid as well as Carotenoid. His work deals with themes such as Domestication and Agronomy, which intersect with Horticulture. The Cucumis study combines topics in areas such as Yield, Genetic variation, Flesh and Flavonoid.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (42.27%)
  • Melon (26.80%)
  • Carotenoid (26.80%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Melon (26.80%)
  • Cucumis (24.74%)
  • Genetics (18.56%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Melon, Cucumis, Genetics, Quantitative trait locus and Gene. His Melon research incorporates themes from Phytoene synthase, Plastid, Chromoplast, Carotenoid and Pigment accumulation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Photosynthesis and Photoprotection.

His Cucumis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Evolutionary biology and Cucurbitaceae. Yaakov Tadmor works mostly in the field of Genetics, limiting it down to topics relating to Citrullus and, in certain cases, Oligonucleotide, Genetic marker, Citrullus colocynthis and Sugar, as a part of the same area of interest. Yaakov Tadmor performs integrative study on Regulatory control and Botany in his works.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Carotenoid Metabolism in Plants: The Role of Plastids. (172 citations)
  • Distinct Mechanisms of the ORANGE Protein in Controlling Carotenoid Flux. (56 citations)
  • Cucurbit Genomics Database (CuGenDB): a central portal for comparative and functional genomics of cucurbit crops. (55 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Genetics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genome, Genetics, Gene, Chromoplast and Carotenoid. The concepts of his Genome study are interwoven with issues in RNA-Seq, Melon, DNA sequencing and Expression quantitative trait loci. Yaakov Tadmor combines subjects such as Citrullus and Citrullus lanatus with his study of Genetics.

His Citrullus study contributes to a more complete understanding of Botany. His Chromoplast study incorporates themes from Ripening and Arabidopsis. His research investigates the connection between Phytoene synthase and topics such as Cucumis that intersect with problems in Mendelian inheritance, Genetic variation, Linkage disequilibrium and Biotechnology.
