Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Botany, Genetic marker, Quantitative trait locus and RAPD. His work is dedicated to discovering how Genetics, Genetic diversity are connected with Germplasm, Hybrid and Sweet sorghum and other disciplines. He interconnects Plant genetics, Pleiotropy and Transformation in the investigation of issues within Botany.

His Genetic marker study combines topics in areas such as Cavendish banana, Polymorphism, Chromosome, Genotyping and Abiotic stress. As part of the same scientific family, Ian D. Godwin usually focuses on RAPD, concentrating on Cultivar and intersecting with Primer, Micropropagation, Dwarfism and Musaceae. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sorghum and Plant breeding.

His most cited work include:

  • Application of inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers to plant genetics (309 citations)
  • Whole-genome sequencing reveals untapped genetic potential in Africa’s indigenous cereal crop sorghum (275 citations)
  • Assessment of genome origins and genetic diversity in the genus Eleusine with DNA markers. (176 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Sorghum, Agronomy, Botany, Biotechnology and Horticulture. His Sorghum research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Pollen, Transformation, Gene, Transgene and Starch. His research brings together the fields of Quantitative trait locus and Agronomy.

The various areas that Ian D. Godwin examines in his Botany study include Genetic marker and Genetic diversity. Ian D. Godwin studied Biotechnology and Genome that intersect with Domestication. His studies in Horticulture integrate themes in fields like Tissue culture and Somatic embryogenesis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Sorghum (37.05%)
  • Agronomy (35.46%)
  • Botany (21.91%)

  • Genome editing (2.79%)

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

Ian D. Godwin spends much of his time researching Sorghum, Agronomy, Genome editing, Plant breeding and CRISPR. His research integrates issues of Sugar, Biochemistry, Biomass and Genetic architecture in his study of Sorghum. Ian D. Godwin combines subjects such as Adaptation and Canopy with his study of Agronomy.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Agriculture, Food security, Biotechnology, Genome and Domestication in addition to Plant breeding. His Biotechnology study deals with Population growth intersecting with Crop. His Transformation research is within the category of Genetics.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Breeding crops to feed 10 billion. (149 citations)
  • Applications and potential of genome editing in crop improvement (111 citations)
  • VERNALIZATION1 Modulates Root System Architecture in Wheat and Barley. (56 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

His primary scientific interests are in Genome editing, Plant breeding, Sorghum, Gene and Computational biology. His work in the fields of Genome editing, such as Transcription activator-like effector nuclease, intersects with other areas such as Commercialization and Adaptation. His Plant breeding research integrates issues from Breed, Population growth, Domestication and Biotechnology.

Agronomy covers Ian D. Godwin research in Sorghum. The Genetically modified crops and CRISPR research Ian D. Godwin does as part of his general Gene study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Chymotrypsin, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His work carried out in the field of Computational biology brings together such families of science as Arabidopsis thaliana, Mutant, Real-time polymerase chain reaction, Crop and Human genetics.
