Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Botany

His primary scientific interests are in Starch, Genetics, Hordeum vulgare, Food science and Quantitative trait locus. His Amylose study in the realm of Starch connects with subjects such as Feed type. His Genetics study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Germplasm.

His Hordeum vulgare study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Agronomy. His study looks at the relationship between Food science and topics such as Amylase, which overlap with Maltose. His study looks at the intersection of Quantitative trait locus and topics like Test weight with Doubled haploidy and Allele.

His most cited work include:

  • QTL analysis of malting quality in barley based on the doubled-haploid progeny of two elite North American varieties representing different germplasm groups (214 citations)
  • Regions of the genome that affect agronomic performance in two-row barley (189 citations)
  • Regions of the Genome That Affect Grain and Malt Quality in a North American Two‐Row Barley Cross (152 citations)

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

Brian G. Rossnagel mostly deals with Hordeum vulgare, Agronomy, Genetics, Food science and Starch. His work carried out in the field of Hordeum vulgare brings together such families of science as Molecular marker, Allele and Marker-assisted selection. His research investigates the connection with Agronomy and areas like Animal science which intersect with concerns in Feed conversion ratio and Broiler chick.

His Food science research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biochemistry, Polysaccharide and Beta-glucan. The study incorporates disciplines such as Endosperm, Rumen and Dietary fiber in addition to Starch. In Locus, he works on issues like Germplasm, which are connected to Genetic variation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hordeum vulgare (37.39%)
  • Agronomy (31.30%)
  • Genetics (22.61%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2016)?

  • Food science (21.74%)
  • Agronomy (31.30%)
  • Biochemistry (15.65%)

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

Brian G. Rossnagel focuses on Food science, Agronomy, Biochemistry, Hordeum vulgare and Starch. His Food science research integrates issues from Carbohydrate composition and Weaned piglets. His Agronomy study incorporates themes from Quantitative trait locus and Genotype.

His Hydrolysis, Amino acid and Glucan study, which is part of a larger body of work in Biochemistry, is frequently linked to Characterization, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Hordeum vulgare research incorporates themes from Genetic marker and Allele. His Starch study focuses mostly on Amylose and Amylopectin.

Between 2009 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Barley Grain Constituents, Starch Composition, and Structure Affect Starch in Vitro Enzymatic Hydrolysis (94 citations)
  • SNP Discovery and Chromosome Anchoring Provide the First Physically-Anchored Hexaploid Oat Map and Reveal Synteny with Model Species (58 citations)
  • Barley and oat cultivars with diverse carbohydrate composition alter ileal and total tract nutrient digestibility and fermentation metabolites in weaned piglets. (54 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Biochemistry

His primary areas of study are Biochemistry, Genetics, Hordeum vulgare, Starch and Food science. His work on Hydrolysis as part of his general Biochemistry study is frequently connected to Characterization, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His work in Genetics is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Germplasm.

His Hordeum vulgare research is classified as research in Agronomy. His Starch study combines topics in areas such as Fermentation and Polysaccharide. His study in Polysaccharide is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Beta-glucan, Amylase, Soy protein, Amylose and Enzymatic hydrolysis.
