Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Botany

Oryza sativa, Genetics, Quantitative trait locus, Locus and Cultivar are his primary areas of study. His Oryza sativa research integrates issues from Biotechnology, Reference genome, Botany and Backcrossing. His Biotechnology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Introgression and Plant breeding.

He has included themes like Plant disease resistance and Agronomy in his Quantitative trait locus study. The concepts of his Locus study are interwoven with issues in Deepwater rice and Allele. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Japonica and Poaceae.

His most cited work include:

  • Marker-assisted selection: an approach for precision plant breeding in the twenty-first century (1213 citations)
  • Sub1A is an ethylene-response-factor-like gene that confers submergence tolerance to rice (1067 citations)
  • RFLP mapping of genes conferring complete and partial resistance to blast in a durably resistant rice cultivar (495 citations)

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

David J. Mackill mainly focuses on Oryza sativa, Agronomy, Cultivar, Genetics and Quantitative trait locus. His research integrates issues of Salinity and photoperiodism, Botany, Seedling in his study of Oryza sativa. David J. Mackill has researched Agronomy in several fields, including Agroforestry and Backcrossing.

The various areas that David J. Mackill examines in his Backcrossing study include Yield, Biotechnology and Introgression. His work deals with themes such as Upland rice, Resistance, Japonica, Poaceae and Abiotic component, which intersect with Cultivar. His studies in Quantitative trait locus integrate themes in fields like Grain quality, Molecular marker, Crop, Chromosome 9 and Inbred strain.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oryza sativa (39.68%)
  • Agronomy (39.68%)
  • Cultivar (36.51%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2019)?

  • Agronomy (39.68%)
  • Backcrossing (26.19%)
  • Cultivar (36.51%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Backcrossing, Cultivar, Quantitative trait locus and Agroforestry. His work carried out in the field of Agronomy brings together such families of science as Abiotic stress and Introgression. His Backcrossing research incorporates elements of Plant disease resistance and Biotechnology.

His Cultivar study incorporates themes from Oryza sativa, Germplasm, Abiotic component and Plant breeding. His Quantitative trait locus study is concerned with the field of Genetics as a whole. He combines subjects such as Gene, Locus and Horticulture with his study of Botany.

Between 2010 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • A trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase enhances anaerobic germination tolerance in rice. (146 citations)
  • The contribution of submergence-tolerant (Sub1) rice varieties to food security in flood-prone rainfed lowland areas in Asia (134 citations)
  • The contribution of submergence-tolerant (Sub1) rice varieties to food security in flood-prone rainfed lowland areas in Asia (134 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Agronomy

David J. Mackill mainly investigates Agronomy, Backcrossing, Cultivar, Sowing and Germination. His Agronomy research includes elements of Quantitative trait locus and Abiotic stress. His Quantitative trait locus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Background selection, Rainfed agriculture, Botany and Introgression.

His Backcrossing research incorporates themes from Plant disease resistance, Biotechnology and Yield. The study incorporates disciplines such as Oryza sativa, Selfing, Abiotic component and Plant breeding in addition to Cultivar. While working on this project, David J. Mackill studies both Oryza sativa and Southeast asian.
