  • 1995 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Organic chemistry
  • Enzyme

His primary areas of investigation include Glyphosate, Agronomy, Horticulture, Bentazon and Botany. The study incorporates disciplines such as Glycine, Cirsium arvense, Calcium, Nuclear chemistry and Shoot in addition to Glyphosate. His Agronomy study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Trimethylsulfonium.

His work in the fields of Horticulture, such as Squash, intersects with other areas such as Plant disease. His research in Bentazon intersects with topics in Imazapyr, Lambsquarters and Pulmonary surfactant. His Botany study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ploidy, Chloroplast, Locus and Acetolactate synthase.

His most cited work include:

  • Adsorption, Mobility, and Microbial Degradation of Glyphosate in the Soil (352 citations)
  • Absorption, Action, and Translocation of Glyphosate (206 citations)
  • Rapid Inactivation of Glyphosate in the Soil (191 citations)

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

Agronomy, Horticulture, Botany, Glyphosate and Weed are his primary areas of study. His work on Lambsquarters, Zea mays, Weed control and Metolachlor as part of his general Agronomy study is frequently connected to Adjuvant, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. Donald Penner has researched Lambsquarters in several fields, including Setaria faberi and Abutilon.

The concepts of his Horticulture study are interwoven with issues in Metribuzin, Poa pratensis and Bentazon. He studied Botany and Chromosomal translocation that intersect with Absorption. His Glyphosate research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Glycine and Nuclear chemistry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (38.74%)
  • Horticulture (27.03%)
  • Botany (18.47%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2019)?

  • Agronomy (38.74%)
  • Glyphosate (13.96%)
  • Pesticide (7.21%)

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

Donald Penner spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Glyphosate, Pesticide, Horticulture and Environmental chemistry. Donald Penner connects Agronomy with Adjuvant in his research. Donald Penner combines subjects such as Chelation, Lolium rigidum, Manganese and Nuclear chemistry with his study of Glyphosate.

The Horticulture study combines topics in areas such as Sugar, Mutant cell and Botany. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Mode of action, Biochemistry and Metabolism. His Environmental chemistry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Moisture, Soil pH, Field capacity and Adsorption desorption.

Between 2002 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • POTENTIAL BASIS OF GLYPHOSATE RESISTANCE IN CALIFORNIA RIGID RYEGRASS (Lolium rigidum) (68 citations)
  • Glyphosate interaction with manganese in tank mixtures and its effect on glyphosate absorption and translocation (60 citations)
  • Adsorption, Desorption, and Degradation of Imidazolinones in Soil1 (56 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Organic chemistry
  • Enzyme

Donald Penner mainly focuses on Agronomy, Glyphosate, Botany, Pesticide and Cultivar. His research on Agronomy frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Acetamide. His research integrates issues of Chelation, Lolium rigidum, Manganese and Nuclear chemistry in his study of Glyphosate.

In the field of Botany, his study on Desiccation and Setaria faberi overlaps with subjects such as Caprylic acid. His Pesticide research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Imazaquin, Moisture, Soil pH, Field capacity and Environmental chemistry. His Cultivar study incorporates themes from Stem rot and Sclerotinia.
