Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Genetics
  • Gene
  • Botany

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Genetics, Quantitative trait locus, Fusarium culmorum and Botany. His study in Agronomy focuses on Poaceae, Cultivar, Sorghum, Triticale and Hybrid. His biological study deals with issues like Heterosis, which deal with fields such as Endosperm.

He interconnects Linkage disequilibrium, Association mapping, Allele, Locus and Heritability in the investigation of issues within Quantitative trait locus. His Fusarium culmorum study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Mycotoxin and Fungi imperfecti. His Botany study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Indirect selection, Population genetics and Gene–environment interaction.

His most cited work include:

  • In vivo haploid induction in maize - performance of new inducers and significance of doubled haploid lines in hybrid breeding (181 citations)
  • QTL mapping of stay-green in two sorghum recombinant inbred populations (163 citations)
  • Improving Nitrogen‐Use Efficiency in European Maize (151 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Botany, Secale, Poaceae and Genetics. His study in Agronomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Genetic variation, Inbred strain and Heritability. Hartwig H. Geiger has included themes like Horticulture and Gene–environment interaction in his Botany study.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Secale, Backcrossing are connected with Germplasm and other disciplines. The various areas that Hartwig H. Geiger examines in his Poaceae study include Animal science, Ploidy, Doubled haploidy and Stamen. Hartwig H. Geiger interconnects Gene flow and Cultivar in the investigation of issues within Sorghum.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (48.18%)
  • Botany (27.01%)
  • Secale (23.36%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2016)?

  • Agronomy (48.18%)
  • Genetics (21.17%)
  • Genetic variation (18.25%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Genetics, Genetic variation, Secale and Plant breeding. His Agronomy research includes elements of Claviceps purpurea and Heritability. His Genetics research focuses on Hordeum vulgare and how it relates to Outbreeding depression.

The Genetic variation study combines topics in areas such as Biotechnology and Doubled haploidy. His Secale research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Introgression and Backcrossing. Hartwig H. Geiger has researched Plant breeding in several fields, including Pollen and Genetic diversity.

Between 2006 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Association mapping reveals gene action and interactions in the determination of flowering time in barley (94 citations)
  • Comparison of phenotypic and marker-based selection for Fusarium head blight resistance and DON content in spring wheat (86 citations)
  • Rye ( Secale cereale L.) (81 citations)

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

  • Genetics
  • Gene
  • Botany

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Genetics, Secale, Quantitative trait locus and Germplasm. His Agronomy research includes themes of Nucleic acid amplification technique, Plant genetics and Doubled haploidy. His research on Genetics frequently links to adjacent areas such as Heterosis.

As a member of one scientific family, Hartwig H. Geiger mostly works in the field of Secale, focusing on Plant breeding and, on occasion, Breeding program, Best linear unbiased prediction, Calibration, Sample size determination and Sorghum. His research on Quantitative trait locus also deals with topics like

  • Allele which intersects with area such as Wheat diseases, Fusarium, Cultivar, Fusarium culmorum and Genotype,
  • Haplotype, which have a strong connection to Hordeum vulgare, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Candidate gene and Genetic association. Hartwig H. Geiger combines subjects such as Heritability, Introgression and Backcrossing with his study of Germplasm.
