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

Deepak Pental mostly deals with Genetics, Gene, Brassica, Genome and Gene pool. His research in Alternaria brassicae, Quantitative trait locus, Genetic marker, Genetic architecture and Plant disease resistance are components of Genetics. He has included themes like Tapetum and Cell biology in his Gene study.

The Genome study combines topics in areas such as Gene expression and Sequence assembly. His research in Gene pool intersects with topics in R gene, Locus and Candidate gene. His Blight research is classified as research in Botany.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • BjuWRR1 , a CC-NB-LRR gene identified in Brassica juncea , confers resistance to white rust caused by Albugo candida (13 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genome

His scientific interests lie mostly in Quantitative trait locus, Genetics, Brassica, Genetic marker and Allele. Deepak Pental has researched Quantitative trait locus in several fields, including Alternaria, Blight, Botany and Arabidopsis. All of his Genetics and Arabidopsis thaliana, Alternaria brassicae and Plant disease resistance investigations are sub-components of the entire Genetics study.

Deepak Pental interconnects Gene pool and Qtl analysis in the investigation of issues within Brassica. He combines subjects such as Gene, Locus and R gene with his study of Gene pool. His Genetic marker study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as UniGene, Microsatellite, Genetic linkage, Genotype and Genetic variation.
