Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Genetics

Daniel Zohary mainly investigates Domestication, Old World, Agriculture, Botany and Agronomy. His research integrates issues of Bronze Age, Range, Cultivar, Loss of heterozygosity and Outcrossing in his study of Domestication. He works mostly in the field of Old World, limiting it down to concerns involving Agroforestry and, occasionally, Mediterranean Basin, Paleoethnobotany, Agricultural science and Prehistory.

The concepts of his Agriculture study are interwoven with issues in Plant ecology, Ecology and Natural. His biological study deals with issues like Introgression, which deal with fields such as Sexual reproduction, Vegetative reproduction, Crop and Fruit tree. His research in Agronomy intersects with topics in Steppe and Habitat.

His most cited work include:

  • Domestication of plants in the old world (1634 citations)
  • Domestication of Plants in the Old World: The Origin and Spread of Cultivated Plants in West Asia, Europe, and the Nile Valley (611 citations)
  • Distribution of Wild Wheats and Barley (517 citations)

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

Daniel Zohary focuses on Botany, Domestication, Genetic diversity, Genetic variation and Range. The various areas that Daniel Zohary examines in his Botany study include Natural selection, Ploidy and Introgression. His Domestication research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Agronomy, Old World, Mediterranean Basin, Agriculture and Plant ecology.

His Old World study combines topics in areas such as Agroforestry, Vicia faba and Middle East. When carried out as part of a general Agriculture research project, his work on Paleoethnobotany is frequently linked to work in Time range, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Zoology, Genetic variability, Allele and Hordeum in addition to Genetic variation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (68.18%)
  • Domestication (28.79%)
  • Genetic diversity (25.76%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2012)?

  • Domestication (28.79%)
  • Agriculture (12.12%)
  • Old World (10.61%)

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

Domestication, Agriculture, Old World, Mediterranean Basin and Botany are his primary areas of study. His Domestication research includes themes of Zoology and Paleoethnobotany. His Agriculture study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cartography, Regional science and China.

His Old World research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Agroforestry, Genetic diversity, Geographical isolation, Subspecies and Olea. Mediterranean Basin connects with themes related to Molecular analysis in his study.

Between 2005 and 2012, his most popular works were:

  • Domestication of Plants in the Old World: The origin and spread of domesticated plants in Southwest Asia, Europe, and the Mediterranean Basin (333 citations)
  • The Neolithic Southwest Asian Founder Crops Their Biology and Archaeobotany (69 citations)
  • Current state of the art (37 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Genetics

Daniel Zohary mainly focuses on Domestication, Medicine, State, Current and Old World. His Domestication research incorporates elements of Agriculture and Paleoethnobotany. His Old World research includes elements of Agroforestry, Botany and Mediterranean Basin.
