Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Gene, Bacillus thuringiensis, Botany and Helicoverpa armigera. As part of his studies on Genetics, David G. Heckel often connects relevant areas like Evolutionary biology. His Bacillus thuringiensis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both PEST analysis, Plutella, Heliothis virescens and Pest control.

His research in the fields of Lepidoptera genitalia and Insect overlaps with other disciplines such as Isorhamnetin. The concepts of his Helicoverpa armigera study are interwoven with issues in Carboxylesterase, Pyrethroid, Fenvalerate and Drug resistance. His work on Genomics as part of general Genome research is frequently linked to Transplastomic plant, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His most cited work include:

  • Genome Sequence of the Pea Aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum (1033 citations)
  • Butterfly genome reveals promiscuous exchange of mimicry adaptations among species (875 citations)
  • A Single P450 Allele Associated with Insecticide Resistance in Drosophila (664 citations)

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

David G. Heckel focuses on Genetics, Gene, Botany, Helicoverpa armigera and Bacillus thuringiensis. His work in Genetics covers topics such as Heliothis virescens which are related to areas like Heliothis. His research brings together the fields of Host and Botany.

His research investigates the connection between Helicoverpa armigera and topics such as Biochemistry that intersect with problems in Midgut. He focuses mostly in the field of Bacillus thuringiensis, narrowing it down to topics relating to PEST analysis and, in certain cases, Zoology. His Genome study deals with Evolutionary biology intersecting with Candidate gene and Reproductive isolation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (37.65%)
  • Gene (26.27%)
  • Botany (26.27%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Gene (26.27%)
  • Helicoverpa armigera (17.25%)
  • Botany (26.27%)

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

His primary areas of study are Gene, Helicoverpa armigera, Botany, Insect and Evolutionary biology. The subject of his Gene research is within the realm of Genetics. His research integrates issues of Zoology, Biochemistry, Heliothis virescens, Pyrethroid and Cytochrome P450 in his study of Helicoverpa armigera.

Many of his studies on Botany involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Gene family. His Insect research focuses on Generalist and specialist species and how it relates to Herbivore, Brassicaceae and Noctuidae. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Reproductive isolation, Pheromone and Candidate gene.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Genomic innovations, transcriptional plasticity and gene loss underlying the evolution and divergence of two highly polyphagous and invasive Helicoverpa pest species (132 citations)
  • Next-Generation Insect-Resistant Plants: RNAi-Mediated Crop Protection (123 citations)
  • Two genomes of highly polyphagous lepidopteran pests (Spodoptera frugiperda, Noctuidae) with different host-plant ranges (118 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Ecology

His primary areas of investigation include Gene, Botany, Genetics, Ecology and Helicoverpa armigera. His Gene research incorporates themes from Biosafety, Biotechnology and Bacillus thuringiensis. His research integrates issues of Generalist and specialist species and Gene family in his study of Botany.

His Ecology research incorporates elements of Zoology and Reproductive isolation. David G. Heckel combines subjects such as Comparative genomics, Genomics, Helicoverpa zea, Subfamily and White with his study of Helicoverpa armigera. His study in Genome is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Phylogenetics and Helicoverpa.
