Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Genetics

His main research concerns Botany, Genetics, Solanaceae, Germplasm and Cultivar. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in UPGMA, Genetic diversity and Horticulture. His work in the fields of Horticulture, such as Melongena, Hybrid, Solanum and Inoculation, overlaps with other areas such as Ascorbic acid.

His work in Genetics covers topics such as Cucumis which are related to areas like Genomics, Genome and Plant disease resistance. The Solanaceae study combines topics in areas such as Bud and Food science, Aroma. His work deals with themes such as Geminiviridae, Phylogenetics, Tomato yellow leaf curl virus, Infectivity and Whitefly, which intersect with Cultivar.

His most cited work include:

  • The genome of melon (Cucumis melo L.) (433 citations)
  • Genetic diversity of a germplasm collection of Cucurbita pepo using SRAP and AFLP markers. (347 citations)
  • Transcriptome characterization and high throughput SSRs and SNPs discovery in Cucurbita pepo (Cucurbitaceae) (164 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Horticulture, Cultivar, Agronomy and Solanum. His Botany research integrates issues from Amplified fragment length polymorphism, Crop and Solanaceae. His studies examine the connections between Solanaceae and genetics, as well as such issues in Anthesis, with regards to Parthenocarpy.

His work on Hybrid, Lycopersicon, Inoculation and Ripening as part of general Horticulture research is often related to Ascorbic acid, thus linking different fields of science. His work in Cultivar addresses issues such as Melon, which are connected to fields such as Genetics and Genomics. His research integrates issues of Tomato mosaic virus, Domestication, Genetic variation and Heterosis in his study of Solanum.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (44.98%)
  • Horticulture (38.28%)
  • Cultivar (24.88%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2013)?

  • Botany (44.98%)
  • Horticulture (38.28%)
  • Solanum (22.49%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Horticulture, Solanum, Cultivar and Germplasm. In general Botany, his work in Cucurbita pepo and Cucumis is often linked to Cucurbita moschata linking many areas of study. His research in Horticulture intersects with topics in Tomato spotted wilt virus and Shelf life.

His work in the fields of Solanum, such as Melongena, intersects with other areas such as Callus formation. Fernando Nuez has included themes like Phylogenetics and Carotenoid in his Cultivar study. The various areas that Fernando Nuez examines in his Germplasm study include Range, Amplified fragment length polymorphism and Genotype.

Between 2010 and 2013, his most popular works were:

  • The genome of melon (Cucumis melo L.) (433 citations)
  • Transcriptome characterization and high throughput SSRs and SNPs discovery in Cucurbita pepo (Cucurbitaceae) (164 citations)
  • Variation Revealed by SNP Genotyping and Morphology Provides Insight into the Origin of the Tomato (101 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Genetics

His primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Botany, Melon, Microsatellite and SNP. The concepts of his Genetics study are interwoven with issues in Cucurbita, Cucumis and Cucurbita pepo. His Botany research incorporates themes from Genetic diversity, Capsicum chinense and Capsicum cardenasii, Capsicum baccatum, Capsicum eximium.

His Melon research includes elements of Biotechnology, Functional genomics, Reverse genetics, TILLING and Candidate gene. He combines subjects such as Solanum, Cultivar and Phylogenetics with his study of Genetic variation. He focuses mostly in the field of Cultivar, narrowing it down to topics relating to Virology and, in certain cases, Solanaceae.
