Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Botany

Jacques Le Gouis mostly deals with Agronomy, Cultivar, Anthesis, Poaceae and Senescence. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Chromosome and Gene–environment interaction. The study incorporates disciplines such as Nitrate reductase and Human fertilization in addition to Cultivar.

His Anthesis study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Genetic variation and Winter wheat. His study in Poaceae is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Fructification and Quantitative trait locus, Doubled haploidy. His Senescence research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Leaf lamina and Grain yield.

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Cultivar, Quantitative trait locus, Anthesis and Genetic variability. His work on Grain yield, Crop yield and Poaceae as part of general Agronomy study is frequently linked to Protein concentration, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His work carried out in the field of Poaceae brings together such families of science as Fructification, Genetic variation, Nitrogen cycle and Animal science.

His Cultivar study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Dry weight, Flowering time and Human fertilization. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Anthesis, focusing on Senescence and, on occasion, Leaf lamina. His Genetic variability research includes themes of Crop and Plant physiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (78.48%)
  • Cultivar (27.85%)
  • Quantitative trait locus (22.78%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2020)?

  • Selection (17.72%)
  • Genome (13.92%)
  • Crop (11.39%)

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

Selection, Genome, Crop, Anthesis and Horticulture are his primary areas of study. His Selection research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Organism, Computational biology and Genomic selection. His Genome study improves the overall literature in Genetics.

Jacques Le Gouis interconnects Water stress, Genetic determinism, Cluster analysis and Drought tolerance in the investigation of issues within Crop. In his works, Jacques Le Gouis performs multidisciplinary study on Anthesis and Growth kinetics. His research in Horticulture intersects with topics in Storage protein, Endosperm, Strain and Gene expression.

Between 2017 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • High throughput SNP discovery and genotyping in hexaploid wheat (87 citations)
  • Whole-genome prediction of reaction norms to environmental stress in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) by genomic random regression (25 citations)
  • Phenomic Selection Is a Low-Cost and High-Throughput Method Based on Indirect Predictions: Proof of Concept on Wheat and Poplar. (24 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Botany

Jacques Le Gouis mainly focuses on SNP genotyping, Selection, Genome, Drought tolerance and Abiotic component. The SNP genotyping study combines topics in areas such as Genotyping Techniques, Genetic association and Genomics. His Selection research integrates issues from Adaptation, Biotechnology, Cross-validation and Molecular marker.

His research integrates issues of Phenotype and Computational biology in his study of Genome. His Drought tolerance study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Agronomy.
