Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Mutant, Genetics, Chloroplast, Chlorophyll and Botany. John J. Burke focuses mostly in the field of Mutant, narrowing it down to matters related to Cell biology and, in some cases, Arabidopsis, Heat shock protein, Arabidopsis thaliana and Etiolation. He interconnects Sorghum and Germplasm in the investigation of issues within Genetics.

His Chloroplast study incorporates themes from Photosynthesis, Dehydrogenase, Enzyme and Horticulture. The Chlorophyll study combines topics in areas such as Senescence and Electron transport chain. His Botany research focuses on Paraquat and how it connects with Genetically modified crops, Nicotiana tabacum, Photosynthetic capacity and Plant morphology.

His most cited work include:

  • Increased resistance to oxidative stress in transgenic plants that overexpress chloroplastic Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase. (486 citations)
  • Chlorophyll Proteins of Photosystem I (478 citations)
  • Applying genotyping (TILLING) and phenotyping analyses to elucidate gene function in a chemically induced sorghum mutant population. (208 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Sorghum, Botany, Germplasm and Genetics. His Agronomy study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Canopy. His study in Sorghum is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Quantitative trait locus, Mutant and Drought tolerance.

His work deals with themes such as Chloroplast, Horticulture and Sucrose, which intersect with Botany. His Horticulture research includes themes of Poaceae and Gossypium. His study looks at the relationship between Chlorophyll and fields such as Photosynthesis, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (36.14%)
  • Sorghum (28.92%)
  • Botany (25.30%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Sorghum (28.92%)
  • Agronomy (36.14%)
  • Genetics (15.66%)

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

Sorghum, Agronomy, Genetics, Gene and Botany are his primary areas of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Pollen and Hybrid in addition to Sorghum. His Agronomy research incorporates themes from Adaptation and Cold tolerance.

His work in Botany tackles topics such as Dhurrin which are related to areas like Sugar and Plant development. The various areas that John J. Burke examines in his Drought tolerance study include Arabidopsis and Irrigation. His studies in Photosynthesis integrate themes in fields like Biophysics, Quenching and Chlorophyll.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Genome-wide association analysis of seedling traits in diverse Sorghum germplasm under thermal stress. (40 citations)
  • Overexpression of the Rice SUMO E3 Ligase Gene OsSIZ1 in Cotton Enhances Drought and Heat Tolerance, and Substantially Improves Fiber Yields in the Field under Reduced Irrigation and Rainfed Conditions. (37 citations)
  • Diversity analysis of cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) germplasm using the CottonSNP63K Array (25 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Enzyme

John J. Burke mainly focuses on Gene, Sorghum, Agronomy, Molecular breeding and Methane sulfonate. Gene is a subfield of Genetics that he studies. The Genetics study combines topics in areas such as Lipidome and Lipidomics.

John J. Burke combines subjects such as Adaptation, Genome-wide association study and Stamen with his study of Sorghum. His Agronomy study incorporates themes from Photosynthesis, Arabidopsis and Abiotic stress. He interconnects Botany, Pollen, Gametophyte and Sterility in the investigation of issues within Mutant.
