Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Agronomy
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

Her primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Mediterranean climate, Crop yield, Yield and Spectroradiometer. In general Agronomy study, her work on Poaceae, Leaf area index and Growing season often relates to the realm of Sedimentation, thereby connecting several areas of interest. Her Mediterranean climate research includes themes of Test weight, Cultivar, Grain yield and Grain quality.

Her Crop yield research incorporates elements of Yield, Mediterranean Basin, Water-use efficiency, Plant breeding and Agroecology. Her studies in Yield integrate themes in fields like Genetic gain, Dwarfing and Germplasm. Her studies deal with areas such as Anthesis and Vegetation, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index as well as Spectroradiometer.

Her most cited work include:

  • Spectral Vegetation Indices as Nondestructive Tools for Determining Durum Wheat Yield (308 citations)
  • Evaluation of Grain Yield and Its Components in Durum Wheat under Mediterranean Conditions (276 citations)
  • Environmental Factors Determining Carbon Isotope Discrimination and Yield in Durum Wheat under Mediterranean Conditions (180 citations)

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

Dolors Villegas mainly investigates Agronomy, Mediterranean climate, Anthesis, Cultivar and Yield. Her work on Poaceae, Crop and Leaf area index as part of general Agronomy study is frequently linked to Yield, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her Leaf area index research includes elements of Vegetation and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index.

Her research integrates issues of Grain quality, Test weight, Grain yield, Grain filling and Crop yield in her study of Mediterranean climate. The concepts of her Anthesis study are interwoven with issues in Limiting factor, Phenology and Sowing. Dolors Villegas interconnects Quantitative trait locus, Germplasm, Allele and Gluten in the investigation of issues within Cultivar.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (73.08%)
  • Mediterranean climate (37.18%)
  • Anthesis (24.36%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Agronomy (73.08%)
  • Allele (12.82%)
  • Cultivar (19.23%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Allele, Cultivar, photoperiodism and Genotype. The study incorporates disciplines such as Mediterranean climate and Mediterranean Basin in addition to Agronomy. Her Allele research focuses on Horticulture and how it relates to Gene.

Dolors Villegas has included themes like Quantitative trait locus, Genetics and Germplasm in her Cultivar study. Her photoperiodism research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Flowering time, Phenology and Grain weight. In her study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Phenology, Grain yield, Crop yield and Locus is strongly linked to Sowing.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Genetic Structure of Modern Durum Wheat Cultivars and Mediterranean Landraces Matches with Their Agronomic Performance. (46 citations)
  • Daylength, Temperature and Solar Radiation Effects on the Phenology and Yield Formation of Spring Durum Wheat (20 citations)
  • Durum Wheat Landraces from East and West Regions of the Mediterranean Basin Are Genetically Distinct for Yield Components and Phenology. (18 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Agronomy
  • Agriculture

Her primary areas of study are Agronomy, Phenology, photoperiodism, Anthesis and Mediterranean Basin. Dolors Villegas studies Crop which is a part of Agronomy. Her research on Anthesis often connects related topics like Sowing.

Dolors Villegas has researched Genotype in several fields, including Range, Allele, Period and Horticulture. Her studies deal with areas such as Botany, Plant breeding, Dendrogram and Genetic structure, Genetic variation as well as Population genetics. Her Mediterranean climate study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Marker-assisted selection and Introgression.
