John MacKay

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Gene
• Genetics
• Genome

His main research concerns Lignin, Biochemistry, Gene, Genetics and Botany. The concepts of his Lignin study are interwoven with issues in Cinnamyl-alcohol dehydrogenase, Vanillin, Monolignol, Mutant and Genetically modified crops. He focuses mostly in the field of Gene, narrowing it down to matters related to Xylem and, in some cases, Allele and Locus.

His work on Ploidy, Plant biochemistry and Genetic marker as part of general Genetics research is frequently linked to Petunia axillaris, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His work on Gymnosperm and Hybrid as part of general Botany research is often related to Direct reading and Solid wood, thus linking different fields of science. His Gymnosperm course of study focuses on Genome size and Genomics, Evolutionary biology, Synteny and Pseudogene.

His most cited work include:

• The Norway spruce genome sequence and conifer genome evolution. (959 citations)
• RECENT ADVANCES IN UNDERSTANDING LIGNIN BIOSYNTHESIS (396 citations)
• Assembling the 20 Gb white spruce (Picea glauca) genome from whole-genome shotgun sequencing data (279 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Gene, Botany, Genome and Genomics. In his work, Cell wall is strongly intertwined with Xylem, which is a subfield of Gene. His work on Lignin, Gymnosperm and Herbivore as part of general Botany research is frequently linked to Piceol, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His Genome study incorporates themes from Evolutionary biology, Computational biology and DNA sequencing. His Evolutionary biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Candidate gene, Transcriptome, Synteny, Genetic association and White. He works mostly in the field of Genomics, limiting it down to topics relating to Genome evolution and, in certain cases, Genetic diversity, as a part of the same area of interest.

He most often published in these fields:

• Genetics (46.75%)
• Gene (45.45%)
• Botany (37.66%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

• Gene (45.45%)
• Choristoneura fumiferana (12.99%)
• Genetics (46.75%)

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

His primary areas of study are Gene, Choristoneura fumiferana, Genetics, Phenology and White. With his scientific publications, his incorporates both Gene and Pinaceae. His research combines Populus balsamifera and Genetics.

As a part of the same scientific study, John MacKay usually deals with the Phenology, concentrating on Black spruce and frequently concerns with Annual growth cycle of grapevines, Shoot, Horticulture, Growing season and Balsam. His White research focuses on Resistance and how it relates to Quantitative genetics. His Phylogenetic tree study is concerned with the larger field of Biochemistry.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Evolution of the biosynthesis of two hydroxyacetophenones in plants. (13 citations)
• Evolution of the biosynthesis of two hydroxyacetophenones in plants. (13 citations)
• The large repertoire of conifer NLR resistance genes includes drought responsive and highly diversified RNLs (12 citations)

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

• Gene
• Genetics
• Genome

John MacKay mainly investigates Gene, Phylogenetics, Gene family, Pinaceae and Phylogenetic tree. Transcriptome and Genome are the primary areas of interest in his Gene study. His study in Transcriptome is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Brassinosteroid, Plant evolution, Cutin, Metabolic pathway and Suberin.

His Phylogenetics study contributes to a more complete understanding of Biochemistry. His Gene family research is within the category of Genetics. His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Subfamily, Resistance and White.
