Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Genetics

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Agronomy, Orobanche crenata, Resistance and Plant disease resistance. The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Quantitative trait locus and Haustorium. Many of his research projects under Agronomy are closely connected to Control methods with Control methods, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

His work deals with themes such as Sativum, Cultivar, Pisum and Host, Parasitic plant, which intersect with Orobanche crenata. His Resistance study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Powdery mildew, Biotechnology and Genetic resistance. The study incorporates disciplines such as Ascochyta, Blight, Germplasm and Plant breeding in addition to Plant disease resistance.

His most cited work include:

  • Nanotechnology for parasitic plant control (225 citations)
  • Nanoparticle penetration and transport in living pumpkin plants: in situ subcellular identification (223 citations)
  • Nanoparticles as Smart Treatment-delivery Systems in Plants: Assessment of Different Techniques of Microscopy for their Visualization in Plant Tissues (219 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Agronomy, Resistance, Plant disease resistance and Orobanche crenata. His study explores the link between Botany and topics such as Horticulture that cross with problems in Quantitative trait locus. His biological study deals with issues like Mediterranean climate, which deal with fields such as Gene–environment interaction.

As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Resistance, narrowing it down to issues related to the Rust, and often Puccinia hordei and Poaceae. He combines subjects such as Ascochyta, Blight and Plant breeding with his study of Plant disease resistance. As part of the same scientific family, Diego Rubiales usually focuses on Orobanche crenata, concentrating on Parasitic plant and intersecting with Orobanchaceae.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (49.09%)
  • Agronomy (28.54%)
  • Resistance (20.78%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Agronomy (28.54%)
  • Resistance (20.78%)
  • Genetics (10.96%)

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

Diego Rubiales focuses on Agronomy, Resistance, Genetics, Botany and Powdery mildew. His Agronomy research integrates issues from Mediterranean climate and Gene–environment interaction. His Resistance research focuses on Germplasm and how it relates to Genetic diversity and Biotechnology.

His Botany research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Medicago truncatula and Uromyces. Orobanche is closely connected to Lathyrus in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Powdery mildew. His research on Cultivar also deals with topics like

  • Orobanche crenata which intersects with area such as Weed,
  • Sativum which is related to area like Weevil.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Reduced nitric oxide levels during drought stress promote drought tolerance in barley and is associated with elevated polyamine biosynthesis (46 citations)
  • A High-Density Integrated DArTseq SNP-Based Genetic Map of Pisum fulvum and Identification of QTLs Controlling Rust Resistance. (29 citations)
  • Physical and Chemical Barriers in Root Tissues Contribute to Quantitative Resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. pisi in Pea (23 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Genetics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Plant disease resistance, Fusarium wilt, Fusarium oxysporum and Botany. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Mediterranean climate and Gene–environment interaction. Diego Rubiales combines subjects such as Pisum, Stele, Germplasm and Endodermis with his study of Fusarium wilt.

Diego Rubiales specializes in Botany, namely Spore germination. His research investigates the connection between Sativum and topics such as Orobanche crenata that intersect with problems in Mycosphaerella, Erysiphe pisi, Powdery mildew, Blight and Ascochyta. The study incorporates disciplines such as Legume, Orobanche, Biological pest control and Crop rotation in addition to Resistance.
