Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Botany

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Botany, Ploidy, Solanum tuberosum and Cultivar. When carried out as part of a general Botany research project, his work on Phytophthora infestans and Vine is frequently linked to work in Streptomyces scabies, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. David S. Douches interconnects Quantitative trait locus, Restriction fragment and Restriction fragment length polymorphism in the investigation of issues within Ploidy.

His Solanum tuberosum research integrates issues from Phthorimaea operculella, Gelechiidae, Solanum and Integrated pest management. His Cultivar research incorporates elements of Fluazinam, Fungicide, Pesticide, Solanaceae and clone. His research in Solanaceae intersects with topics in Plant disease resistance, PEST analysis, Bacillus thuringiensis, Chlorothalonil and Blight.

His most cited work include:

  • Single nucleotide polymorphism discovery in elite north american potato germplasm (173 citations)
  • Construction of Reference Chromosome-Scale Pseudomolecules for Potato: Integrating the Potato Genome with Genetic and Physical Maps (166 citations)
  • Integration of Two Diploid Potato Linkage Maps with the Potato Genome Sequence (158 citations)

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

His main research concerns Genetics, Solanum tuberosum, Cultivar, Botany and Horticulture. Genetics is frequently linked to Germplasm in his study. David S. Douches combines subjects such as Blight, Phytophthora infestans and Primer with his study of Cultivar.

The various areas that David S. Douches examines in his Phytophthora infestans study include Plant disease resistance and Genotype. His work on Solanum as part of general Botany research is frequently linked to Isozyme, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Inoculation and Vine study in the realm of Horticulture interacts with subjects such as Streptomyces scabies, Common scab and Potato virus Y.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (28.49%)
  • Solanum tuberosum (27.33%)
  • Cultivar (27.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Genetics (28.49%)
  • Ploidy (21.51%)
  • Solanum tuberosum (27.33%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Ploidy, Solanum tuberosum, Germplasm and Horticulture. His work deals with themes such as Genome and Botany, which intersect with Ploidy. His studies examine the connections between Solanum tuberosum and genetics, as well as such issues in Blight, with regards to Oomycete and Polymerase chain reaction.

His Germplasm research includes themes of Inoculation and Breeding program. His study in Horticulture is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Pollen, Genotype and Field conditions. David S. Douches interconnects Plant disease resistance and Cell biology in the investigation of issues within Cultivar.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Genetic Variance Partitioning and Genome-Wide Prediction with Allele Dosage Information in Autotetraploid Potato. (44 citations)
  • Genome sequence of M6, a diploid inbred clone of the high-glycoalkaloid-producing tuber-bearing potato species Solanum chacoense, reveals residual heterozygosity. (39 citations)
  • Genomic Selection for Late Blight and Common Scab Resistance in Tetraploid Potato (Solanum tuberosum) (28 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Botany

David S. Douches mostly deals with Genetics, Allele, Genetic linkage, Locus and Ploidy. His Allele study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Epistasis and Germplasm. In his work, Genetic model is strongly intertwined with Quantitative trait locus, which is a subfield of Genetic linkage.

In his research, Genome editing and Genome is intimately related to Inbreeding depression, which falls under the overarching field of Locus. Ploidy is a subfield of Gene that he explores. His Plant disease resistance research incorporates elements of Blight and Heritability.
