  • 2015 - Fellow of the American Society of Agronomy (ASA)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Agronomy
  • Genetics

Germplasm, Agronomy, Biotechnology, Cultivar and Crop are his primary areas of study. His studies in Germplasm integrate themes in fields like Drought tolerance, Genotyping, Reference genome and Sowing. He combines subjects such as Protein quality and Stigmasterol with his study of Agronomy.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Genetic diversity, Genomics, Plant breeding, Molecular breeding and Candidate gene. His Cultivar study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Legume, Green manure and Introgression. His Crop research incorporates elements of Biotic stress and Disease management.

His most cited work include:

  • Draft genome sequence of chickpea ( Cicer arietinum ) provides a resource for trait improvement (697 citations)
  • Nutritional quality and health benefits of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.): a review. (405 citations)
  • Achievements and prospects of genomics-assisted breeding in three legume crops of the semi-arid tropics (196 citations)

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

C. L. L. Gowda spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Germplasm, Crop, Cultivar and Horticulture. While the research belongs to areas of Agronomy, C. L. L. Gowda spends his time largely on the problem of Genetic variation, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Diallel cross. The concepts of his Germplasm study are interwoven with issues in Cajanus, Biotechnology, Genetic diversity and Plant breeding.

His work investigates the relationship between Biotechnology and topics such as Association mapping that intersect with problems in Plant genetics. His Crop study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Foxtail, Sorghum, Fodder and Drought tolerance. He interconnects Genetic variability, Introgression and High yielding in the investigation of issues within Cultivar.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (56.91%)
  • Germplasm (49.59%)
  • Crop (30.08%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2019)?

  • Genetics (13.01%)
  • Quantitative trait locus (17.89%)
  • Candidate gene (9.76%)

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

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Quantitative trait locus, Candidate gene, Genome-wide association study and Germplasm. His research in Quantitative trait locus intersects with topics in Genetic marker, Expression quantitative trait loci and Genomics. His work carried out in the field of Candidate gene brings together such families of science as Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Genetic linkage.

Germplasm is a subfield of Agronomy that he explores. The Drought tolerance, Cultivar, Legume and Germination research C. L. L. Gowda does as part of his general Agronomy study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Coat, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His Domestication research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Plant disease resistance, Molecular breeding, Whole genome sequencing and Balancing selection.

Between 2014 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Employing genome-wide SNP discovery and genotyping strategy to extrapolate the natural allelic diversity and domestication patterns in chickpea. (68 citations)
  • Breeding Annual Grain Legumes for Sustainable Agriculture: New Methods to Approach Complex Traits and Target New Cultivar Ideotypes (61 citations)
  • Genetic dissection of seed-iron and zinc concentrations in chickpea. (55 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Agronomy
  • Genetics

C. L. L. Gowda focuses on Genetics, Genetic marker, Quantitative trait locus, Family-based QTL mapping and Linkage disequilibrium. The Genetic marker study combines topics in areas such as Association mapping, Genome-wide association study, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Genetic linkage and Candidate gene. In his research on the topic of Linkage disequilibrium, Germplasm is strongly related with Genotyping.

He has researched Germplasm in several fields, including Root system and Introgression. His Introgression research includes elements of Legume, Cultivar and Agronomy. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cropping and Sustainable agriculture.
