Abebe Menkir

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Agriculture
• Ecology
• Botany

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Inbred strain, Genotype, Genetic variation and Grain yield. The concepts of his Agronomy study are interwoven with issues in Zinc and Micronutrient. His Inbred strain research includes themes of Mycotoxin and Plant breeding.

The Genotype study combines topics in areas such as Biotechnology and Germplasm. As a part of the same scientific family, Abebe Menkir mostly works in the field of Genetic variation, focusing on Genetic diversity and, on occasion, Botany, Genetic variability and Introgression. His research integrates issues of Drought stress and Cultivar in his study of Grain yield.

His most cited work include:

• Managing vulnerability to drought and enhancing livelihood resilience in sub-Saharan Africa: Technological, institutional and policy options (203 citations)
• Identification of Drought, Heat, and Combined Drought and Heat Tolerant Donors in Maize (159 citations)
• Sustainable resource management coupled to resilient germplasm to provide new intensive cereal-grain-legume-livestock systems in the dry savanna. (153 citations)

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

Abebe Menkir focuses on Agronomy, Inbred strain, Hybrid, Germplasm and Striga hermonthica. His works in Drought tolerance, Poaceae, Grain yield, Cultivar and Zea mays are all subjects of inquiry into Agronomy. His work deals with themes such as Botany, Plant breeding, Heterosis and Genetic diversity, which intersect with Inbred strain.

His research in Hybrid focuses on subjects like Carotenoid, which are connected to Orange. His study in Germplasm is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Tropical agriculture, Wet season, Biotechnology, Backcrossing and Breeding program. His Striga hermonthica course of study focuses on Parasitic plant and Scrophulariaceae.

He most often published in these fields:

• Agronomy (63.19%)
• Inbred strain (29.12%)
• Hybrid (25.82%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

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

Abebe Menkir mainly focuses on Agronomy, Hybrid, Striga hermonthica, Striga and Carotenoid. Abebe Menkir interconnects Nutrient and Genetic variation in the investigation of issues within Agronomy. His Hybrid research integrates issues from Grain yield, Crop yield, Anthesis, Inbred strain and Drought tolerance.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Endosperm, Cultivar, Marker-assisted selection and Heterosis in addition to Inbred strain. His Striga hermonthica research incorporates elements of Germplasm, Weed and Infestation. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Germplasm, focusing on Genetic variability and, on occasion, Genetic diversity.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Genetic Basis and Breeding Perspectives of Grain Iron and Zinc Enrichment in Cereals. (49 citations)
• Molecular Breeding for Nutritionally Enriched Maize: Status and Prospects (28 citations)
• Measurement of Pesticide Residues from Chemical Control of the Invasive Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in a Maize Experimental Field in Mokwa, Nigeria (14 citations)

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

• Agriculture
• Ecology
• Botany

Abebe Menkir mainly investigates Agronomy, Hybrid, Biofortification, Nutrient and Food security. Abebe Menkir performs multidisciplinary study on Agronomy and Bioavailability in his works. His Hybrid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Endosperm, Striga hermonthica, Resistance, Inbred strain and Drought tolerance.

His Striga hermonthica research incorporates themes from Germplasm, Tropical agriculture, Adaptability, Weed and Crop. Abebe Menkir combines subjects such as Fodder, Genetic variation and Crop diversity with his study of Nutrient. His study looks at the relationship between Food security and topics such as Food fortification, which overlap with Molecular breeding, Cultivar and Biotechnology.
