Jack R. Harlan

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Botany
• Ecology
• Agronomy

Jack R. Harlan mostly deals with Domestication, Agronomy, Agriculture, Plant ecology and Botany. Jack R. Harlan combines subjects such as Agricultural science, Habitat and Plant breeding with his study of Domestication. His work in the fields of Sorghum and Crop overlaps with other areas such as Distribution.

His Agriculture study incorporates themes from Middle East, Ethnology and Far East. His Middle East study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Economic geography, Center of origin and China. His Economic botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Diversity, Finger millet and Agroforestry.

His most cited work include:

• Crops and man (1100 citations)
• Toward a rational classification of cultivated plants (710 citations)
• Distribution of Wild Wheats and Barley (517 citations)

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

Jack R. Harlan mainly investigates Botany, Agronomy, Agriculture, Domestication and Tripsacum. His Botany research includes elements of Morphology and Introgression. His work on Sorghum and Sorghum bicolor as part of general Agronomy research is frequently linked to Distribution, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His research on Agriculture also deals with topics like

• Agroforestry which is related to area like Grassland,
• Middle East which connect with China. His Domestication research incorporates elements of Germplasm and Habitat. His study in Tripsacum is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Chromosome number, Genetics, Cytology and Tripsacum dactyloides.

He most often published in these fields:

• Botany (49.60%)
• Agronomy (19.20%)
• Agriculture (16.80%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1982-2014)?

• Agriculture (16.80%)
• Botany (49.60%)
• Agronomy (19.20%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agriculture, Botany, Agronomy, Plant ecology and Domestication. His research in Agriculture intersects with topics in Agroforestry, Mesopotamia, Indigenous, Regional science and Middle East. His Sorghum study in the realm of Agronomy interacts with subjects such as Salt and Chemistry.

The concepts of his Plant ecology study are interwoven with issues in Cultivar, Archaeology and Crop. His Cultivar study incorporates themes from Dendrogram, Genetic variation, Genotype and Taxon. The study of Domestication is intertwined with the study of Holocene in a number of ways.

Between 1982 and 2014, his most popular works were:

• The Living Fields: Our Agricultural Heritage (163 citations)
• Evidence for cultivation of sesame in the ancient world (161 citations)
• Sesamin, sesamolin and the origin of sesame☆ (110 citations)

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

• Botany
• Ecology
• Agriculture

Agriculture, Domestication, Economic botany, China and Sesamin are his primary areas of study. His work deals with themes such as Middle East, Indigenous and Agroforestry, which intersect with Agriculture. His Domestication study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sorghum, Tropics and Holocene.

His Economic botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Mesopotamia and Archaeology. His studies in China integrate themes in fields like Ancient Greek and Ancient history. His work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as Sesamum and Pedaliaceae.
