Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

His primary areas of study are Botany, Genetics, Cultivar, Quantitative trait locus and Agronomy. His Botany research incorporates themes from Human nutrition, Biofortification and Horticulture. He studied Genetics and Ascochyta that intersect with Genotype.

His Cultivar study deals with Food science intersecting with Lens Plant, Environmental chemistry and Chronic arsenic poisoning. Albert Vandenberg has researched Quantitative trait locus in several fields, including Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Inbred strain and Amplified fragment length polymorphism. In the field of Agronomy, his study on Crop and Legume overlaps with subjects such as Ecosystem services and Rhizobia.

His most cited work include:

  • Genetic diversity among varieties and wild species accessions of pea (Pisum sativum L.) based on molecular markers, and morphological and physiological characters. (136 citations)
  • Quantitative trait loci for lodging resistance, plant height and partial resistance to mycosphaerella blight in field pea ( Pisum sativum L.) (113 citations)
  • Ancient orphan crop joins modern era: gene-based SNP discovery and mapping in lentil (95 citations)

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

Albert Vandenberg mostly deals with Agronomy, Cultivar, Crop, Botany and Horticulture. In Agronomy, he works on issues like Plant disease resistance, which are connected to Colletotrichum truncatum. His study in Cultivar is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ascochyta, Blight and Sativum, Field pea.

Albert Vandenberg usually deals with Crop and limits it to topics linked to Leaf type and Ascochyta rabiei. His research investigates the connection between Botany and topics such as Food science that intersect with issues in Polyphenol. His Horticulture research incorporates elements of Coat, Inbred strain and Quantitative trait locus.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (41.73%)
  • Cultivar (37.22%)
  • Crop (25.19%)

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

  • Vicia faba (8.27%)
  • Agronomy (41.73%)
  • Genetics (11.65%)

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

Albert Vandenberg mainly investigates Vicia faba, Agronomy, Genetics, Cultivar and Food science. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Molecular breeding, Legume and Tannin. The Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Plant disease resistance, Genetic analysis and Gene–environment interaction.

His Cultivar research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Germplasm, Interspecific competition, Stemphylium, Resistance and Introgression. His Gene research includes themes of Coat and Horticulture. The various areas that he examines in his Crop study include Gene Discovery and Biotechnology.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Seed Protein of Lentils: Current Status, Progress, and Food Applications (27 citations)
  • Eliminating vicine and convicine, the main anti-nutritional factors restricting faba bean usage (19 citations)
  • Defense responses of lentil (Lens culinaris) genotypes carrying non-allelic ascochyta blight resistance genes to Ascochyta lentis infection. (13 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Food science, Vicia faba, Chromatography, Mass spectrometry and Vicine. His study in the field of Fortification and Dietary fiber also crosses realms of Viscosity and Digestible starch. His Fortification study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Meal, Organoleptic, Ferritin and Phytic acid.

Albert Vandenberg has researched Vicia faba in several fields, including Nutrient, Tannin and Animal nutrition. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cultivar, GTP', Monogastric and Purine. The Cultivar study combines topics in areas such as Plant disease resistance, Colletotrichum lentis, Germplasm, Race and Resistance.
