David M. Spooner

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Botany
• Ecology
• Genus

David M. Spooner mainly focuses on Botany, Solanum, Taxonomy, Germplasm and Phylogenetics. David M. Spooner mostly deals with Solanum tuberosum in his studies of Botany. David M. Spooner combines subjects such as Chloroplast DNA, Ecology, Global biodiversity, Lycopersicon and Solanaceae with his study of Solanum.

His study in Taxonomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Taxon and Biodiversity. His study looks at the relationship between Germplasm and fields such as Typification, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. As a part of the same scientific family, David M. Spooner mostly works in the field of Phylogenetics, focusing on Phylogenetic tree and, on occasion, Evolutionary biology.

His most cited work include:

• A single domestication for potato based on multilocus amplified fragment length polymorphism genotyping (300 citations)
• CHLOROPLAST DNA EVIDENCE FOR THE INTERRELATIONSHIPS OF TOMATOES, POTATOES, AND PEPINOS (SOLANACEAE) (267 citations)
• Geographic distribution of wild potato species. (229 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Botany, Solanum, Taxonomy, Germplasm and Phylogenetics. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Subspecies, Ploidy and Solanaceae. His Solanum study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Genetics, Amplified fragment length polymorphism, Lycopersicon, Sect and Hybrid.

His research investigates the link between Taxonomy and topics such as Clade that cross with problems in Cladistics. His Germplasm research includes elements of Ecology, Agriculture and Genetic diversity. His studies deal with areas such as DNA sequencing and Phylogenetic tree as well as Phylogenetics.

He most often published in these fields:

• Botany (73.76%)
• Solanum (47.52%)
• Taxonomy (30.69%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

• Botany (73.76%)
• Daucus (8.91%)
• Germplasm (31.19%)

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

His main research concerns Botany, Daucus, Germplasm, Daucus carota and Phylogenetic tree. His Botany research incorporates themes from Resistance and Horticulture. His studies in Germplasm integrate themes in fields like Archaeology, Herbarium, Field plot and Computational science.

His Phylogenetic tree research incorporates themes from Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetics, Alternaria, Blight and DNA sequencing. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Solanum and Genetic variation. His Solanum research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Taxon, Phylogenetic study, Amplified fragment length polymorphism and Solanaceae.

Between 2016 and 2020, his most popular works were:

• Entire plastid phylogeny of the carrot genus (Daucus, Apiaceae): Concordance with nuclear data and mitochondrial and nuclear DNA insertions to the plastid (29 citations)
• Genomic Analyses Yield Markers for Identifying Agronomically Important Genes in Potato (26 citations)
• Analyses of 202 plastid genomes elucidate the phylogeny of Solanum section Petota. (11 citations)

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

• Genus
• Ecology
• Botany

Phylogenetics, DNA sequencing, Genome, Phylogenetic tree and Taxonomy are his primary areas of study. His work deals with themes such as Daucus carota and Daucus, which intersect with Phylogenetics. To a larger extent, David M. Spooner studies Botany with the aim of understanding Daucus.

His DNA sequencing study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Evolutionary biology and Plastid. David M. Spooner studied Genome and Clade that intersect with Quantitative trait locus, Genetic diversity, Molecular marker, Solanum and Plant disease resistance. David M. Spooner interconnects Conservation status, Plant breeding, Abiotic stress and Mediterranean Basin in the investigation of issues within Taxonomy.
