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.
