  • 2017 - Seed Science Award, American Society of Agronomy

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Genus

His primary scientific interests are in Germination, Botany, Dormancy, Seed dormancy and Ecology. His Germination study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Horticulture. His Horticulture research incorporates themes from Phenology, Water content and Annual plant.

His research on Dormancy focuses in particular on Stratification. His study on Seed dormancy also encompasses disciplines like

  • Seed dispersal and related Mucilage,
  • Convolvulaceae most often made with reference to Anatomy. Jerry M. Baskin interconnects Soil surface and Vegetation in the investigation of issues within Agronomy.

His most cited work include:

  • Seeds: Ecology, Biogeography, and, Evolution of Dormancy and Germination (4097 citations)
  • A classification system for seed dormancy (1171 citations)
  • GERMINATION ECOPHYSIOLOGY OF HERBACEOUS PLANT SPECIES IN A TEMPERATE REGION (411 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Germination, Botany, Dormancy, Seed dormancy and Ecology. Jerry M. Baskin has researched Germination in several fields, including Biological dispersal and Seedling. His study on Botany is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Seed dispersal.

Within one scientific family, Jerry M. Baskin focuses on topics pertaining to Perennial plant under Dormancy, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Herbaceous plant. His Seed dormancy research includes themes of Brassicaceae, Scarification, Shoot, Water content and Poaceae. His study in Ecology, Habitat, Deciduous, Plant ecology and Endemism falls under the purview of Ecology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Germination (81.46%)
  • Botany (70.22%)
  • Dormancy (65.36%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Germination (81.46%)
  • Dormancy (65.36%)
  • Botany (70.22%)

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

Jerry M. Baskin mainly investigates Germination, Dormancy, Botany, Seed dormancy and Agronomy. Jerry M. Baskin studies Germination, namely Stratification. His Dormancy research includes elements of Perennial plant, Fabaceae, Weed, Biological dispersal and Soil seed bank.

His study explores the link between Biological dispersal and topics such as Plant ecology that cross with problems in Biomass. His research in Seed dormancy intersects with topics in Gibberellin, Ecology, Poaceae and Scarification. The various areas that Jerry M. Baskin examines in his Agronomy study include Plant community, Sand dune stabilization, Predation and Habitat.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The evolution of seed dormancy: environmental cues, evolutionary hubs, and diversification of the seed plants (179 citations)
  • More than just a coating: Ecological importance, taxonomic occurrence and phylogenetic relationships of seed coat mucilage (91 citations)
  • Identification and characterization of ten new water gaps in seeds and fruits with physical dormancy and classification of water-gap complexes. (62 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Genus

Jerry M. Baskin spends much of his time researching Germination, Botany, Dormancy, Seed dormancy and Seedling. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biological dispersal and Desert climate. His study connects Seed dispersal and Botany.

His Dormancy research incorporates elements of Biodiversity, Geranium carolinianum, Geranium, Growing season and Grassland. His Seed dormancy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ecology and Water content. Many of his research projects under Seedling are closely connected to Classification scheme with Classification scheme, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
