The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Botany

His primary scientific interests are in Genetically modified crops, Biotechnology, Genetics, Panicum virgatum and Bioenergy. His Genetically modified crops research incorporates themes from Promoter and Transformation. His Biotechnology research includes elements of Agriculture and Synthetic biology.

His Panicum virgatum study is associated with Biomass. As part of one scientific family, C. Neal Stewart deals mainly with the area of Biomass, narrowing it down to issues related to the Panicum, and often Apical dominance, Herbaceous plant and Energy crop. His Bioenergy research incorporates elements of Cellulosic ethanol and Agronomy.

  • Development and use of a switchgrass ( Panicum virgatum L.) transformation pipeline by the BioEnergy Science Center to evaluate plants for reduced cell wall recalcitrance (107 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Botany

C. Neal Stewart mainly investigates Biomass, Biotechnology, Bioenergy, Computational biology and Transgene. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Food science, Lignin, Biofuel, Cell wall and Pulp and paper industry. His studies deal with areas such as Synthetic biology, Gene, Transformation, Genetic variation and Genetically modified crops as well as Biotechnology.

His biological study focuses on Panicum virgatum. When carried out as part of a general Computational biology research project, his work on Systems biology is frequently linked to work in Mechanism of action, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His Transgene study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Promoter, Effector and DNA-binding domain, Transcription factor.
