Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Botany
Agronomy
Ecology

Agronomy, Botany, Paspalum notatum, Pearl and Forage are his primary areas of study. His research in Agronomy tackles topics such as Heritability which are related to areas like Festuca arundinacea. His Botany study combines topics in areas such as Cytology and Reproduction.

His Pearl research incorporates themes from Pennisetum and Cytoplasmic male sterility. The study incorporates disciplines such as In vitro and Animal science in addition to Forage. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Stocking, Cropping system, Cynodon dactylon and Pasture.

His most cited work include:

Estimating Heritability in Tall Fescue (Festuca Arundinacea) from Replicated Clonal Material 1 (757 citations)
Quantitative Inheritance in Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum) 1 (132 citations)
Registration of ‘Tifton 85’ Bermudagrass (120 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Pearl, Forage, Botany and Pennisetum. His study in Tifton, Cynodon dactylon, Paspalum notatum, Cultivar and Pasture is carried out as part of his studies in Agronomy. His research integrates issues of Pollen, Germplasm, Mutant, Resistance and Poaceae in his study of Pearl.

The Forage study combines topics in areas such as Dry matter, Yield and Hybrid. His study in Botany is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ploidy and Apomixis. His Pennisetum research integrates issues from Sorghum and Plant breeding.

He most often published in these fields:

Agronomy (74.13%)
Pearl (29.85%)
Forage (19.90%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1982-2015)?

Agronomy (74.13%)
Pearl (29.85%)
Poaceae (7.46%)

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

Glenn W. Burton spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Pearl, Poaceae, Botany and Tifton. Forage, Cultivar, Cynodon dactylon, Pennisetum and Grazing are subfields of Agronomy in which his conducts study. His study looks at the relationship between Forage and fields such as Yield, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His Pearl research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Pollen and Resistance. Glenn W. Burton combines subjects such as Smut, Germplasm, Leaf spot and Genetics with his study of Poaceae. His Botany research includes themes of Mutant and Apomixis.

Between 1982 and 2015, his most popular works were:

Registration of ‘Tifton 85’ Bermudagrass (120 citations)
Forage quality and grazing steer performance from Tifton 85 and Tifton 78 bermudagrass pastures. (106 citations)
Species and Varieties (36 citations)
