Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Genetics, Genetic marker, Lolium perenne and Protoplast. His Botany study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Genetically modified crops and Micropropagation. His study in Genetic marker is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Quantitative trait locus, Expressed sequence tag, Amplified fragment length polymorphism and Restriction fragment length polymorphism.

His Lolium perenne study deals with the bigger picture of Perennial plant. His Protoplast research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Somaclonal variation, Tissue culture, Horticulture, Callus and Transformation. His study looks at the relationship between Gene mapping and fields such as Molecular marker, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His most cited work include:

  • Gene transfer to plants (293 citations)
  • Transgenic rapeseed plants obtained by the microinjection of DNA into microspore-derived embryoids (212 citations)
  • A complex gene cluster for indole-diterpene biosynthesis in the grass endophyte Neotyphodium lolii (150 citations)

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

German Spangenberg mostly deals with Botany, Genetics, Agronomy, Lolium perenne and Gene. His research on Botany frequently links to adjacent areas such as Genetically modified crops. His study in Genome, Genetic marker, Candidate gene, Expressed sequence tag and Gene mapping falls under the purview of Genetics.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Evolutionary biology and Computational biology in addition to Genome. His Lolium perenne research integrates issues from Complementary DNA and Ergovaline. His Plant breeding course of study focuses on Biotechnology and Selection and Genetic diversity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (32.99%)
  • Genetics (27.37%)
  • Agronomy (25.83%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Perennial plant (11.00%)
  • Genome (14.83%)
  • Genetics (27.37%)

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

German Spangenberg spends much of his time researching Perennial plant, Genome, Genetics, Agronomy and Lolium perenne. His Perennial plant study combines topics in areas such as Endophyte, Cultivar, Dry matter, Pasture and Forage. His Genome study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Exome sequencing, Computational biology, Evolutionary biology and Introgression.

His work in Genetics addresses issues such as Blackleg, which are connected to fields such as Best linear unbiased prediction and Genome-wide association study. His studies in Agronomy integrate themes in fields like Genetic gain and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index. His Lolium perenne research entails a greater understanding of Botany.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Exome sequencing highlights the role of wild-relative introgression in shaping the adaptive landscape of the wheat genome (75 citations)
  • Exploitation of data from breeding programs supports rapid implementation of genomic selection for key agronomic traits in perennial ryegrass. (22 citations)
  • Zinc finger nuclease-mediated precision genome editing of an endogenous gene in hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) using a DNA repair template. (18 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

His primary areas of investigation include Genome, Genetics, Gene, Genetic gain and Breeding program. His studies examine the connections between Genome and genetics, as well as such issues in Computational biology, with regards to Genotyping, Reference genome and Single-nucleotide polymorphism. His study on Genetics is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Trifolium repens.

His work on Candidate gene, Locus, Transformation and Pooideae as part of general Gene study is frequently linked to Pera, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. German Spangenberg combines subjects such as Forage, Biotechnology and Inbreeding with his study of Genetic gain. His Perennial plant study is concerned with the field of Botany as a whole.
