Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Gene

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Shoot, Gene expression profiling, Host and Agar. His Botany study frequently links to related topics such as Nutrient. Andrew Mead has researched Shoot in several fields, including Cultivar, Phylogenetic tree, Phylogenetics, Brassica oleracea and Genetic variation.

In his study, Agronomy is strongly linked to Doubled haploidy, which falls under the umbrella field of Cultivar. His studies in Genetic variation integrate themes in fields like Clade and Biogeochemical cycle. His Gene expression profiling study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Regulation of gene expression, Transcription factor, Computational biology and Gene regulatory network.

His most cited work include:

  • Phylogenetic Variation in the Silicon Composition of Plants (622 citations)
  • High-Resolution Temporal Profiling of Transcripts during Arabidopsis Leaf Senescence Reveals a Distinct Chronology of Processes and Regulation (552 citations)
  • Interactions between selenium and sulphur nutrition in Arabidopsis thaliana (300 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Agronomy, Horticulture, Ecology and Weed. His research in the fields of Shoot, Germination and Cultivar overlaps with other disciplines such as Agar. His Shoot research incorporates themes from Phylogenetics, Phytoremediation and Phylogenetic tree.

In his work, Fungi imperfecti, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Spore and Predation is strongly intertwined with Biological pest control, which is a subfield of Agronomy. His work on Water quality is typically connected to Resistome, Drainage basin and Integron as part of general Ecology study, connecting several disciplines of science. He interconnects Weed control, Competition and Seedling in the investigation of issues within Weed.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (26.27%)
  • Agronomy (25.42%)
  • Horticulture (15.25%)

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

  • Crop (8.47%)
  • Gene (7.63%)
  • Cultivar (7.63%)

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

Andrew Mead focuses on Crop, Gene, Cultivar, Veterinary medicine and Agronomy. His Crop research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Aphid, Myzus persicae, Suction trap and Growing season. Aphid is a subfield of Botany that Andrew Mead tackles.

Andrew Mead has included themes like Fusarium and Microbiology in his Gene study. His Cultivar study combines topics in areas such as Pathogen, Fusarium wilt, Fusarium oxysporum, Major gene and Housekeeping gene. His Agronomy research integrates issues from Photosynthesis, RuBisCO and Canopy.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Phenotyping of field-grown wheat in the UK highlights contribution of light response of photosynthesis and flag leaf longevity to grain yield (74 citations)
  • A spatial temporal analysis of the Fusarium graminearum transcriptome during symptomless and symptomatic wheat infection. (28 citations)
  • Towards new sources of resistance to the currant-lettuce aphid (Nasonovia ribisnigri). (9 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Gene

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Crop, Cultivar, Crop yield, Agronomy and Carriage. The study incorporates disciplines such as Domestication, Aphid, Botany and Expressed sequence tag in addition to Crop. His research in Cultivar intersects with topics in Lactuca and Sequence assembly.

His Crop yield research incorporates elements of Photosynthesis, Climate change, Mean radiant temperature and Fertilizer. His Agronomy research includes elements of Canopy and RuBisCO. MANNHEIMIA HAEMOLYTICA, Colonisation, Pasteurellaceae, Nasal passages and Veterinary medicine are fields of study that intersect with his Carriage research.
