Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

His primary scientific interests are in Vigna, Botany, Genetics, Domestication and Genetic linkage. His research in Vigna intersects with topics in Quantitative trait locus and Cultivar. His Botany study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Genetic diversity.

His work in Genetic diversity addresses issues such as Callosobruchus maculatus, which are connected to fields such as Genus. His Domestication study incorporates themes from Germplasm and Crop. His work deals with themes such as Fabaceae and Restriction fragment length polymorphism, which intersect with Genetic linkage.

His most cited work include:

  • The evolving story of rice evolution (258 citations)
  • The Asian Vigna: Genus Vigna subgenus Ceratotropis genetic resources (119 citations)
  • The development of SSR markers by a new method in plants and their application to gene flow studies in azuki bean [Vigna angularis (Willd.) Ohwi & Ohashi] (102 citations)

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

Botany, Vigna, Genetic diversity, Germplasm and Genetics are his primary areas of study. His research integrates issues of Amplified fragment length polymorphism, RAPD, Genetic marker, Domestication and Genetic variation in his study of Botany. His Vigna research integrates issues from Quantitative trait locus, In situ conservation and Subgenus.

In his study, Callosobruchus maculatus is inextricably linked to Vigna umbellata, which falls within the broad field of Germplasm. His work on Genome, Restriction fragment length polymorphism, Genetic linkage and Gene flow as part of general Genetics research is frequently linked to Retrotransposon, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work investigates the relationship between Genome and topics such as Oryza that intersect with problems in Genus and Phylogenetic tree.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (54.35%)
  • Vigna (50.00%)
  • Genetic diversity (30.43%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2014)?

  • Vigna (50.00%)
  • Botany (54.35%)
  • Quantitative trait locus (16.30%)

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

His main research concerns Vigna, Botany, Quantitative trait locus, Domestication and Germplasm. Duncan A. Vaughan has researched Vigna in several fields, including Genetics and Cultivar. His work in Genetics addresses subjects such as Fabaceae, which are connected to disciplines such as Ploidy.

The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Genetic marker, Gene flow, Genetic diversity and Introgression. His Quantitative trait locus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Legume and Horticulture. His biological study deals with issues like Crop, which deal with fields such as Germination.

Between 2007 and 2014, his most popular works were:

  • The evolving story of rice evolution (258 citations)
  • Construction of a Genetic Linkage Map and Genetic Analysis of Domestication Related Traits in Mungbean (Vigna radiata) (88 citations)
  • The genetics of domestication of the azuki bean (Vigna angularis) (86 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

Duncan A. Vaughan mainly investigates Domestication, Vigna, Quantitative trait locus, Botany and Genetics. His Domestication research includes elements of Germplasm, Introgression, Japonica, Oryza sativa and Poaceae. His work carried out in the field of Introgression brings together such families of science as Ecology, Oryza nivara, Oryza, Center of origin and Gene pool.

The concepts of his Vigna study are interwoven with issues in Genetic marker, Synteny, Genome and Amplified fragment length polymorphism. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Agronomy, Molecular clock, Agriculture, Major gene and Gene flow. He interconnects Legume and Fabaceae in the investigation of issues within Genetics.
