Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Agriculture
  • Botany

His primary scientific interests are in Oryza sativa, Agronomy, Botany, Quantitative trait locus and Gene. His Oryza sativa study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Salinity, Poaceae and Plant nutrition. His work in the fields of Agronomy, such as Cultivar and Germination, intersects with other areas such as Light intensity.

His primary area of study in Botany is in the field of Shoot. His Quantitative trait locus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Genetic marker, Plant genetics, Crop and Plant breeding. As a member of one scientific family, Abdelbagi M. Ismail mostly works in the field of Gene, focusing on Japonica and, on occasion, Ion homeostasis and Panicle.

His most cited work include:

  • Chapter 3 Regional Vulnerability of Climate Change Impacts on Asian Rice Production and Scope for Adaptation (337 citations)
  • Is root growth under phosphorus deficiency affected by source or sink limitations (152 citations)
  • Genome-wide transcriptional analysis of salinity stressed japonica and indica rice genotypes during panicle initiation stage (151 citations)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Oryza sativa, Quantitative trait locus, Seedling and Botany. His research on Agronomy often connects related topics like Salinity. His research in Oryza sativa intersects with topics in Panicle, Plant nutrition and Poaceae.

His Quantitative trait locus research also works with subjects such as

  • Backcrossing which is related to area like Biotechnology,
  • Plant breeding which connect with Introgression. His Cultivar research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Germplasm and Crop yield. His Crop research incorporates elements of Agriculture, Flooding, Agroforestry and Soil salinity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (50.00%)
  • Oryza sativa (25.74%)
  • Quantitative trait locus (16.91%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2020)?

  • Agronomy (50.00%)
  • Seedling (15.44%)
  • Germination (13.97%)

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

Agronomy, Seedling, Germination, Genetics and Salinity are his primary areas of study. The concepts of his Agronomy study are interwoven with issues in Dry season, Soil water and Nutrient. Abdelbagi M. Ismail frequently studies issues relating to Shoot and Seedling.

His studies deal with areas such as Seeding, Panicle, Oryza sativa and Sowing as well as Germination. Much of his study explores Oryza sativa relationship to Coleoptile. His study in the field of Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Quantitative trait locus and Gene is also linked to topics like Prolamin.

Between 2017 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Gene Expression analysis associated with salt stress in a reciprocally crossed rice population. (30 citations)
  • NRT1.1-Related NH4+ Toxicity Is Associated with a Disturbed Balance between NH4+ Uptake and Assimilation (28 citations)
  • Mechanistic understanding of iron toxicity tolerance in contrasting rice varieties from Africa: 1. Morpho-physiological and biochemical responses (13 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Agriculture
  • Botany

His main research concerns Seedling, Agronomy, Germination, Sowing and Crop. His research integrates issues of Pollen, Malondialdehyde, Panicle and Genetic variation in his study of Seedling. His Agronomy research integrates issues from Wet season, Water stagnation, Canopy, Ecosystem and Dry season.

His Germination research incorporates themes from Cultivar, Weed, Water use, Oryza sativa and Nutrient. His Oryza sativa study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Quantitative trait locus. His Quantitative trait locus study combines topics in areas such as Microsatellite, Phytotron and Indel.
