Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agronomy
  • Botany
  • Gene

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Plant breeding, Drought tolerance, Plant physiology and Water-use efficiency. His Agronomy study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Photosynthesis. His study looks at the relationship between Plant breeding and fields such as Water use, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His studies in Drought tolerance integrate themes in fields like Genetically modified crops, Genetically modified rice, Biotechnology, Oryza sativa and Poaceae. His research in Plant physiology intersects with topics in Drought resistance, Plant ecology, Cold resistance and Resistance. The various areas that A. Blum examines in his Water-use efficiency study include Animal breeding and Yield.

His most cited work include:

  • Drought resistance, water-use efficiency, and yield potential-are they compatible, dissonant, or mutually exclusive? (952 citations)
  • Plant Breeding For Stress Environments (946 citations)
  • Effective use of water (EUW) and not water-use efficiency (WUE) is the target of crop yield improvement under drought stress (737 citations)

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

A. Blum mainly focuses on Agronomy, Plant breeding, Poaceae, Drought tolerance and Cultivar. His Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Photosynthesis, Desiccation and Plant physiology. His studies deal with areas such as Water use, Biotechnology, Resistance, Water-use efficiency and Crop yield as well as Plant breeding.

His Poaceae study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Oryza sativa, Osmotic pressure and Horticulture. His Drought tolerance research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Canopy, Turgor pressure and Seedling. His study explores the link between Cultivar and topics such as Moisture stress that cross with problems in Yield.
