Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Ecology

Genetic diversity, Botany, Ecology, Genetic structure and Amplified fragment length polymorphism are her primary areas of study. Her studies in Genetic diversity integrate themes in fields like Outcrossing and Genetic variation. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Genetic distance and Germplasm.

Her studies examine the connections between Botany and genetics, as well as such issues in Introgression, with regards to Malus sieversii and Malus. Her Ecology study often links to related topics such as Seed dispersal. Her research integrates issues of Puccinia coronata, RAPD, Genetic marker, Lolium and Lolium perenne in her study of Amplified fragment length polymorphism.

Her most cited work include:

  • AFLP markers reveal high polymorphic rates in ryegrasses (Lolium spp.) (426 citations)
  • New insight into the history of domesticated apple: secondary contribution of the European wild apple to the genome of cultivated varieties. (236 citations)
  • A comparative study of molecular and morphological methods of describing relationships between perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) varieties (165 citations)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Botany, Agronomy, Genetic diversity, Ecology and Genetics. Her Botany research includes elements of Genotype, Amplified fragment length polymorphism, Horticulture and Introgression. Her work deals with themes such as Biomass and Miscanthus, which intersect with Agronomy.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Population size, Biodiversity and Genetic variation in addition to Genetic diversity. Her Ecology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Seed dispersal, Genetic structure, Population genetics and Small population size. Isabel Roldán-Ruiz has researched Red Clover in several fields, including Ploidy, Cultivar and Pollination.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (23.36%)
  • Agronomy (20.07%)
  • Genetic diversity (18.61%)

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

  • Agronomy (20.07%)
  • Perennial plant (10.95%)
  • Lolium perenne (12.41%)

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

Isabel Roldán-Ruiz mostly deals with Agronomy, Perennial plant, Lolium perenne, Remote sensing and Grassland. Her Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Biomass and Lignin. Her Perennial plant research is included under the broader classification of Botany.

Isabel Roldán-Ruiz has researched Botany in several fields, including Gene pool and Genomic research. Her Lolium perenne study contributes to a more complete understanding of Ecology. Her Ecology research includes elements of Phylogeography, Gene flow and Biological dispersal.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Environmental sustainability of conventional and organic farming: Accounting for ecosystem services in life cycle assessment (18 citations)
  • In situ quantification of forage grass root biomass, distribution and diameter classes under two N fertilisation rates (17 citations)
  • Canopy height measurements and non‐destructive biomass estimation of Lolium perenne swards using UAV imagery (16 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Ecology

Her primary areas of study are Agronomy, Lolium perenne, Forage, Perennial plant and Cultivar. The Festuca arundinacea and Human fertilization research she does as part of her general Agronomy study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Carbon sequestration and Composition, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. Her research on Lolium perenne concerns the broader Ecology.

Her Perennial plant research incorporates elements of Contrast, Statistics, Vegetation and Genetic diversity. Her research in Genetic diversity tackles topics such as Adaptation which are related to areas like Plant growth. Her research in Ploidy focuses on subjects like Horticulture, which are connected to Botany.
