  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Genetics

His primary areas of study are Solanum, Botany, Melongena, Germplasm and Horticulture. His Solanum research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Lycopene, Crop, Domestication, Herbarium and Solanaceae. The various areas that Jaime Prohens examines in his Botany study include Tomato mosaic virus, Inoculation and Introgression.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Melongena, Solamargine and Glycoalkaloid is strongly linked to Solanum macrocarpon. His Germplasm research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cultivar, Genetic diversity, Biotechnology, Genomics and Plant breeding. His Horticulture study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Plant virus and Dry matter.

His most cited work include:

  • Application of Genomic Tools in Plant Breeding (152 citations)
  • Breeding and domesticating crops adapted to drought and salinity: a new paradigm for increasing food production (130 citations)

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

His main research concerns Solanum, Horticulture, Botany, Cultivar and Germplasm. His research in Solanum intersects with topics in Heterosis, Agronomy, Crop and Hybrid. His Horticulture research includes elements of Salinity and Heritability.

His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Amplified fragment length polymorphism, Genetic diversity and Solanaceae. In his research, Allele is intimately related to Genetic variation, which falls under the overarching field of Genetic diversity. He works mostly in the field of Cultivar, limiting it down to concerns involving Biotechnology and, occasionally, Genomics and Backcrossing.

  • Solanum (41.56%)
  • Germplasm (16.87%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Horticulture, Solanum, Germplasm, Plant breeding and Salinity. His Cultivar study, which is part of a larger body of work in Horticulture, is frequently linked to Water content, bridging the gap between disciplines. When carried out as part of a general Solanum research project, his work on Melongena is frequently linked to work in Glutathione reductase, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

Computational biology, Evolutionary biology, Linkage disequilibrium, Genomics and Genetic marker is closely connected to Genotyping in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Germplasm. Jaime Prohens interconnects Crop yield, Sweetness and Human fertilization in the investigation of issues within Plant breeding. His work on Soil salinity is typically connected to Abies alba as part of general Salinity study, connecting several disciplines of science.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Detection of honey adulteration by conventional and real-time PCR (19 citations)
  • Single Primer Enrichment Technology (SPET) for high-throughput genotyping in tomato and eggplant germplasm. (18 citations)
  • Genetic diversity, population structure, and relationships in a collection of pepper (Capsicum spp.) landraces from the Spanish centre of diversity revealed by genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS). (18 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Horticulture

Jaime Prohens spends much of his time researching Horticulture, Solanum, Melongena, Plant breeding and Germplasm. His studies in Horticulture integrate themes in fields like Explant culture and Salinity. Jaime Prohens merges many fields, such as Solanum and Glutathione reductase, in his writings.

Jaime Prohens has included themes like Heritability, Genome resequencing and Pedicel in his Melongena study. His Plant breeding study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Genetic diversity, Domestication, Association mapping, Phylogenetics and Pepper. His Germplasm study which covers Genotyping that intersects with Evolutionary biology, Mediterranean Basin, Linkage disequilibrium and Genomics.
