Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Botany
Agronomy
Gene

Bruce D. Gossen mainly focuses on Agronomy, Clubroot, Canola, Brassica and Botany. His study in Cultivar, Fungicide, Crop rotation, Crop and Blight falls within the category of Agronomy. Bruce D. Gossen focuses mostly in the field of Blight, narrowing it down to matters related to Seedling and, in some cases, Gall.

Bruce D. Gossen has included themes like Plant disease resistance, Genetics and Microbiology, Spore in his Clubroot study. Bruce D. Gossen usually deals with Canola and limits it to topics linked to Antibiosis and Leptosphaeria maculans. His Botany research includes themes of Inoculation, Horticulture and Mating type.

His most cited work include:

Managing Plant Disease Risk in Diversified Cropping Systems (243 citations)
Effect of tillage and crop rotation on root and foliar diseases of wheat and pea in Saskatchewan from 1991 to 1998: Univariate and multivariate analyses (109 citations)
Plasmodiophora brassicae: a review of an emerging pathogen of the Canadian canola (Brassica napus) crop. (96 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Clubroot, Canola, Blight and Botany. Cultivar, Fungicide, Seedling, Crop and Root rot are the subjects of his Agronomy studies. His Clubroot study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Plasmodiophora brassicae, Spore and Brassica rapa.

His study on Canola also encompasses disciplines like

Crop rotation, which have a strong connection to Tillage,
Root hair that connect with fields like Zoospore. He interconnects Yield, Field pea, Growing season and Sowing in the investigation of issues within Blight. His Botany research incorporates elements of Pathogen, RAPD, Mating type and Internal transcribed spacer.

He most often published in these fields:

Agronomy (55.42%)
Clubroot (36.75%)
Canola (28.92%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

Clubroot (36.75%)
Horticulture (21.69%)
Canola (28.92%)

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

Bruce D. Gossen spends much of his time researching Clubroot, Horticulture, Canola, Plasmodiophora brassicae and Spore. Clubroot is a subfield of Brassica that he studies. His work on Blight, Stemphylium vesicarium, Botrytis cinerea and Fusarium avenaceum as part of general Horticulture research is frequently linked to Glycine, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His research in Canola intersects with topics in Basidiomycota and Clade. The research on Botany, Agronomy and Microbiology is part of his Plasmodiophora brassicae project. His study in Agronomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Fusarium poae and Oomycete.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Clubroot resistance gene Rcr6 in Brassica nigra resides in a genomic region homologous to chromosome A08 in B. rapa (12 citations)
Importance and causal agents of root rot on field pea and lentil on the Canadian prairies, 2014–2017 (12 citations)
Fine mapping of a clubroot resistance gene from turnip using SNP markers identified from bulked segregant RNA-Seq (10 citations)

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

Botany
Gene
Agronomy

Bruce D. Gossen focuses on Clubroot, Genetics, Plasmodiophora brassicae, Agronomy and Canola. His Clubroot research includes elements of Crop rotation, Crop and Brassica rapa. Botany and Spore are inextricably linked to his Plasmodiophora brassicae research.

In the field of Agronomy, his study on Field pea, Pulse crop and Root rot overlaps with subjects such as Aphanomyces euteiches. Bruce D. Gossen has researched Canola in several fields, including Cultivar, Population genetics, Genetic diversity, Host and Genetic variation. His studies deal with areas such as SNP, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Plant disease resistance, Major gene and Gene mapping as well as Variants of PCR.
