Jill E. Cairns

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

• Agronomy
• Statistics
• Gene

Her main research concerns Agronomy, Hybrid, Plant breeding, Abiotic component and Germplasm. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Upland rice, Photosynthesis, Canopy, Botany and Plant genetics. Jill E. Cairns focuses mostly in the field of Hybrid, narrowing it down to matters related to Drought tolerance and, in some cases, Gene interaction, Zea mays and Inbred strain.

Her Germplasm research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Agroforestry, Drought resistance, Crop yield, Adaptation and Oryza sativa. Her studies in Agroforestry integrate themes in fields like Molecular breeding and Stress adaptation. Her studies deal with areas such as Growing season, Yield, Climate model, Marker-assisted selection and Conservation agriculture as well as Crop yield.

Her most cited work include:

• Field high-throughput phenotyping: the new crop breeding frontier (795 citations)
• Linking drought‐resistance mechanisms to drought avoidance in upland rice using a QTL approach: progress and new opportunities to integrate stomatal and mesophyll responses (299 citations)
• Translating High-Throughput Phenotyping into Genetic Gain (226 citations)

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

Agronomy, Germplasm, Agroforestry, Hybrid and Drought tolerance are her primary areas of study. Her Agronomy research includes themes of Upland rice, Canopy and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index. She works mostly in the field of Germplasm, limiting it down to concerns involving Biotechnology and, occasionally, Cropping.

She has researched Agroforestry in several fields, including Crop yield, Food security and Yield. Her Hybrid study incorporates themes from Zea mays and Inbred strain. Her research in Drought tolerance intersects with topics in Transpiration, Oryza sativa and Plant breeding.

She most often published in these fields:

• Agronomy (57.30%)
• Germplasm (20.22%)
• Agroforestry (15.73%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

• Agronomy (57.30%)
• Germplasm (20.22%)
• Crop (12.36%)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Germplasm, Crop, Inbred strain and Agroforestry. Fertilizer, Hybrid and Zea mays are among the areas of Agronomy where the researcher is concentrating her efforts. Her work often combines Germplasm and Abiotic component studies.

Her Crop research includes elements of Yield, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and Multispectral image. Her Inbred strain research incorporates elements of Grain yield and Introgression. While the research belongs to areas of Agroforestry, Jill E. Cairns spends her time largely on the problem of Waterlogging, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Food security.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

• Genome-Wide Association Mapping and Genomic Prediction Analyses Reveal the Genetic Architecture of Grain Yield and Flowering Time Under Drought and Heat Stress Conditions in Maize. (24 citations)
• Evaluating maize genotype performance under low nitrogen conditions using RGB UAV phenotyping techniques (22 citations)
• Nitrogen fertilizer rate increases plant uptake and soil availability of essential nutrients in continuous maize production in Kenya and Zimbabwe. (9 citations)

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

• Agronomy
• Statistics
• Gene

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Fertilizer, Crop, Essential nutrient and Ecosystem. Jill E. Cairns does research in Agronomy, focusing on Anthesis specifically. She combines subjects such as Zea mays, Crop yield, Hybrid and Soil nitrogen with her study of Fertilizer.

Her Crop study combines topics in areas such as Multivariate statistics, Yield, Hue and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index. By researching both Essential nutrient and Stover, Jill E. Cairns produces research that crosses academic boundaries.
