Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agronomy
  • Botany
  • Horticulture

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Shoot, Plant breeding, Crop and Anthesis. The Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Photosynthesis, Ecophysiology, Sodium, Horticulture and Genetic variation. Glenn McDonald has included themes like Hordeum vulgare and Stomatal conductance in his Horticulture study.

Glenn McDonald studied Shoot and Poaceae that intersect with Seedling, Germplasm, Sodic soils and Leaf blade. As a part of the same scientific family, Glenn McDonald mostly works in the field of Plant breeding, focusing on Quantitative trait locus and, on occasion, Locus. His Crop research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Pasture and Irrigation.

His most cited work include:

  • High concentrations of Na+ and Cl– ions in soil solution have simultaneous detrimental effects on growth of faba bean under salinity stress (272 citations)
  • Additive effects of Na+ and Cl– ions on barley growth under salinity stress (264 citations)
  • Reassessment of tissue Na+ concentration as a criterion for salinity tolerance in bread wheat (206 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Horticulture, Cultivar, Zinc and Shoot. Sowing, Crop, Plant breeding, Anthesis and Dry matter are the primary areas of interest in his Agronomy study. His Horticulture study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Photosynthesis, Stomatal conductance, Soil salinity and Osmotic shock.

His Cultivar research includes elements of Water-use efficiency and Drought tolerance. Human fertilization is closely connected to Botany in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Zinc. His Shoot study often links to related topics such as Poaceae.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (72.73%)
  • Horticulture (18.18%)
  • Cultivar (18.18%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Agronomy (72.73%)
  • Sowing (15.91%)
  • Biomass (3.79%)

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

Glenn McDonald mainly focuses on Agronomy, Sowing, Biomass, Canola and Phosphorus. He connects Agronomy with Quality in his research. His Sowing research incorporates elements of Productivity, Plant development, Crop yield and Crop.

Glenn McDonald combines subjects such as Dry matter, photoperiodism, Horticulture, Plant breeding and Stomatal conductance with his study of Biomass. His Canola study incorporates themes from Nitrogen management and Nitrogen. His work in Phosphorus covers topics such as Yield which are related to areas like Plant physiology, Topsoil, Seeding, Hordeum vulgare and Vegetative reproduction.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Photogrammetry for the estimation of wheat biomass and harvest index (28 citations)
  • High-Throughput Field Imaging and Basic Image Analysis in a Wheat Breeding Programme. (15 citations)
  • QTL mapping of root traits in phosphorus-deficient soils reveals important genomic regions for improving NDVI and grain yield in barley. (14 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Agronomy
  • Horticulture

His main research concerns Heritability, Plant breeding, Canopy, Biomass and Agronomy. His studies deal with areas such as Lidar, Field plot, Field crop and Breeding program as well as Heritability. The Plant breeding study combines topics in areas such as Photogrammetry, Remote sensing, Cultivar and Plot.

Glenn McDonald connects Canopy with Point cloud in his study. His research in Agronomy intersects with topics in Genetic marker and Quantitative trait locus.
