Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agronomy
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Mediterranean climate, Yield, Anthesis and Poaceae. His Agronomy study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Adaptation. His work carried out in the field of Mediterranean climate brings together such families of science as Grain yield and Spectroradiometer.

The various areas that Conxita Royo examines in his Yield study include Main stem, Crop and Irrigation. As part of the same scientific family, Conxita Royo usually focuses on Anthesis, concentrating on Canopy and intersecting with Photosynthetic capacity, Soil water, Monogastric, Horticulture and Pasture. His work deals with themes such as Gene–environment interaction and Water content, which intersect with Poaceae.

His most cited work include:

  • Plant breeding and drought in C3 cereals: what should we breed for? (912 citations)
  • Breeding for Yield Potential and Stress Adaptation in Cereals (520 citations)
  • Spectral Vegetation Indices as Nondestructive Tools for Determining Durum Wheat Yield (308 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Horticulture, Mediterranean climate, Anthesis and Cultivar. His Agronomy study focuses mostly on Plant breeding, Crop yield, Yield, Poaceae and Grain yield. His Horticulture research integrates issues from Gene, Genotype and Resistance.

Conxita Royo has included themes like Adaptation, Grain quality, Grain filling and Main stem in his Mediterranean climate study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Dry matter, Crop, Sowing, Leaf area index and Triticale in addition to Anthesis. His Cultivar research also works with subjects such as

  • Genetic diversity most often made with reference to Germplasm,
  • Allele together with photoperiodism.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (76.47%)
  • Horticulture (24.89%)
  • Mediterranean climate (19.91%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Agronomy (76.47%)
  • Cultivar (16.29%)
  • Anthesis (16.74%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Cultivar, Anthesis, Allele and Mediterranean climate. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Quantitative trait locus and Mediterranean Basin. Conxita Royo interconnects Yield and Genetic diversity in the investigation of issues within Mediterranean Basin.

He combines subjects such as Genetic gain and Germplasm with his study of Cultivar. His study in Anthesis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Dwarfing, Dry matter, Biomass, Leaf area index and Evapotranspiration. His Allele study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Genotype and Horticulture.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Exploiting genetic diversity from landraces in wheat breeding for adaptation to climate change (179 citations)
  • Genetic Structure of Modern Durum Wheat Cultivars and Mediterranean Landraces Matches with Their Agronomic Performance. (46 citations)
  • Breeding progress in the pasta-making quality of durum wheat cultivars released in Italy and Spain during the 20th Century (44 citations)

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

  • Agronomy
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

Conxita Royo spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Genetic diversity, Quantitative trait locus, Plant breeding and Mediterranean Basin. His Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Agriculture and Evapotranspiration. In his work, Mediterranean climate is strongly intertwined with Yield, which is a subfield of Evapotranspiration.

His Genetic diversity research includes themes of Genetic variation and Botany. The concepts of his Plant breeding study are interwoven with issues in Positional cloning, Peduncle, Epistasis, Water content and Monogastric. His studies in Mediterranean Basin integrate themes in fields like Dendrogram, Genetic structure, Population genetics and Phenology.
