Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

Daryl J. Mares mainly investigates Agronomy, Germination, Plant breeding, Dormancy and Botany. His Agronomy research incorporates themes from Carotene and Spectrophotometry. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Quantitative trait locus, Doubled haploidy and Monogastric.

His Doubled haploidy study incorporates themes from Germplasm and Horticulture. His Dormancy research incorporates elements of R gene and Falling Number. His work on Gibberellic acid and Solanum tuberosum as part of general Botany research is often related to Starch phosphorylase and Starch synthase, thus linking different fields of science.

His most cited work include:

  • Mapping components of flour and noodle colour in Australian wheat (169 citations)
  • A QTL located on chromosome 4A associated with dormancy in white- and red-grained wheats of diverse origin. (162 citations)
  • Late-maturity α-amylase: Low falling number in wheat in the absence of preharvest sprouting (117 citations)

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

Daryl J. Mares mainly focuses on Agronomy, Horticulture, Botany, Cultivar and Germination. His study on Agronomy is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Sprouting. His Cultivar research integrates issues from Common wheat, Food science, Germplasm, Rust and Poaceae.

He studied Germination and Ripening that intersect with Gibberellin. His Plant breeding study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Doubled haploidy, Animal breeding and Monogastric. His work on Seed dormancy is typically connected to Preharvest as part of general Dormancy study, connecting several disciplines of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (32.67%)
  • Horticulture (26.73%)
  • Botany (24.75%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Genetics (10.89%)
  • Lutein (6.93%)
  • Biochemistry (10.89%)

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

Daryl J. Mares spends much of his time researching Genetics, Lutein, Biochemistry, Food science and Preharvest. In his work, Gene family, Amylase and Genetic variation is strongly intertwined with Isozyme, which is a subfield of Genetics. His work carried out in the field of Lutein brings together such families of science as Lipase and Gene.

His studies examine the connections between Carotenoid and genetics, as well as such issues in Synteny, with regards to Botany. His Sprouting research includes elements of Ripening, Dormancy and Grain quality, Agronomy. Germination and Horticulture are all intrinsically tied to his study in Dormancy.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Wheat grain preharvest sprouting and late maturity alpha-amylase (73 citations)
  • Association mapping of late maturity α-amylase (LMA) activity in a collection of synthetic hexaploid wheat (51 citations)
  • Genetic, hormonal, and physiological analysis of late maturity α-amylase in wheat. (41 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

Daryl J. Mares focuses on Lutein, Biochemistry, Gene, Chromosome and Carotenoid. His work in Biochemistry addresses subjects such as Food science, which are connected to disciplines such as Wheat grain. His Chromosome study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Isozyme and Heritability.

As a part of the same scientific family, Daryl J. Mares mostly works in the field of Carotenoid, focusing on Lipase and, on occasion, Xanthophyll. As part of his studies on Synteny, Daryl J. Mares often connects relevant subjects like Botany. His research in Botany focuses on subjects like Doubled haploidy, which are connected to Phenotype.
