Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Agronomy
  • Agriculture

Agronomy, Poaceae, Transpiration, Selection and Crop yield are his primary areas of study. His work on Gibberellin expands to the thematically related Agronomy. His Poaceae study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Photosynthetic capacity and Drought tolerance.

The concepts of his Transpiration study are interwoven with issues in Canopy, Water-use efficiency and Transgressive segregation. His study in Water-use efficiency is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biomass and Rainfed agriculture. His work focuses on many connections between Crop yield and other disciplines, such as Water use, that overlap with his field of interest in Yield, Limiting factor and Gene–environment interaction.

His most cited work include:

  • Breeding for high water-use efficiency. (826 citations)
  • Breeding Opportunities for Increasing the Efficiency of Water Use and Crop Yield in Temperate Cereals. (572 citations)
  • Improving Intrinsic Water-Use Efficiency and Crop Yield. (537 citations)

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

Anthony G. Condon mainly investigates Agronomy, Transpiration, Horticulture, Stomatal conductance and Heritability. He combines subjects such as Photosynthesis and Dwarfing with his study of Agronomy. Anthony G. Condon has researched Transpiration in several fields, including Biomass, Soil water, Adaptation and Crop.

His Horticulture research includes elements of Poaceae, Botany and Respiration. His Stomatal conductance research includes themes of Canopy, Genetic variation and Shoot. His Water-use efficiency research integrates issues from Water use, Crop yield and Rainfed agriculture.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (74.03%)
  • Transpiration (24.68%)
  • Horticulture (28.57%)

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

  • Agronomy (74.03%)
  • Environmental science (19.48%)
  • Dry weight (16.88%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Environmental science, Dry weight, Horticulture and Photosynthesis. His Agronomy study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Coleoptile. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Photosynthetic capacity, RuBisCO and Hyperspectral reflectance.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Fertilizer and Genetic variation in addition to Photosynthetic capacity. His work in Horticulture covers topics such as Respiration which are related to areas like Leaf mass per area and Crop yield. His study looks at the relationship between Crop and topics such as Cropping, which overlap with Water-use efficiency and Transpiration.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • High throughput determination of plant height, ground cover, and above-ground biomass in wheat with LiDAR (99 citations)
  • High throughput determination of plant height, ground cover, and above-ground biomass in wheat with LiDAR (99 citations)
  • Hyperspectral reflectance as a tool to measure biochemical and physiological traits in wheat (92 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Agronomy
  • Agriculture

Anthony G. Condon focuses on Agronomy, Environmental science, RuBisCO, Mathematics and Partial least squares regression. His Agronomy research incorporates themes from Climate change and Vapour Pressure Deficit, Transpiration. Many of his Environmental science research pursuits overlap with Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, Lidar, Phenomics, Agricultural engineering and Plant phenotyping.

His RuBisCO research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Photosynthetic capacity, Dry weight and Hyperspectral reflectance.
