  • 1987 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Agriculture

James E. Specht mainly focuses on Genetics, Quantitative trait locus, Genome, Genetic linkage and Restriction fragment length polymorphism. His work on Gene mapping, Gene, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Locus as part of general Genetics research is frequently linked to Glycine soja, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Quantitative trait locus research includes elements of Botany, Linkage disequilibrium, Haplotype, Genetic association and Inbred strain.

The Genomics and Gene density research James E. Specht does as part of his general Genome study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Paleopolyploidy, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. The various areas that James E. Specht examines in his Genetic linkage study include GenBank and Minisatellite Repeat, Tandem repeat. His study explores the link between Restriction fragment length polymorphism and topics such as RAPD that cross with problems in Molecular marker and Centimorgan.

His most cited work include:

  • Genome sequence of the palaeopolyploid soybean (2910 citations)
  • An Integrated Genetic Linkage Map of the Soybean Genome (824 citations)
  • A new integrated genetic linkage map of the soybean. (781 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Genetics, Cultivar, Botany and Gene. His work on Sowing, Irrigation, Yield and Yield gap as part of general Agronomy research is frequently linked to Mathematics, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His is doing research in Locus, Restriction fragment length polymorphism, Gene mapping, Genome and Quantitative trait locus, both of which are found in Genetics.

His research investigates the link between Quantitative trait locus and topics such as Single-nucleotide polymorphism that cross with problems in Germplasm. His study in Botany is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Inbred strain and Horticulture. In the field of Gene, his study on Arabidopsis overlaps with subjects such as Glycine soja.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (39.44%)
  • Genetics (29.58%)
  • Cultivar (21.13%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Agronomy (39.44%)
  • Cultivar (21.13%)
  • Sowing (9.86%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Cultivar, Sowing, Genetics and Crop. His Yield gap, Irrigation and Yield study in the realm of Agronomy connects with subjects such as Mathematics and Yield. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Genetic gain, Seed protein and Yield gain.

His Sowing research focuses on Yield and how it connects with Agriculture and Crop yield. As part of his studies on Genetics, James E. Specht frequently links adjacent subjects like Germplasm. His study on Arabidopsis thaliana, Arabidopsis, Nested association mapping and Genome is often connected to Glycine soja as part of broader study in Gene.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A genome-wide association study of seed protein and oil content in soybean. (375 citations)
  • Genetic Improvement of U.S. Soybean in Maturity Groups II, III, and IV (92 citations)
  • A Population Structure and Genome‐Wide Association Analysis on the USDA Soybean Germplasm Collection (85 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Agriculture
  • Genetics

His main research concerns Agronomy, Sowing, Genetics, Cultivar and Genetic gain. His work on Crop yield, Tillage and Drought stress as part of his general Agronomy study is frequently connected to Mathematics and Crop transpiration, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His Sowing course of study focuses on Irrigation and Agriculture, Crop and Fertilizer.

His work is connected to Quantitative trait locus, Positional cloning, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Genetic association and Allele, as a part of Genetics. His work investigates the relationship between Quantitative trait locus and topics such as Lateral root that intersect with problems in Locus. His Genetic gain research integrates issues from Genetic diversity, Biotechnology, Genomics, Plant breeding and Genotyping.
