Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Enzyme
Gene
Botany

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Weed, Biochemistry, Botany and Biotechnology. His Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Crop residue, Competitive fitness and Acetolactate synthase. His Weed research includes elements of Genetically modified crops, Pesticide, Weed control and Resistance.

His Biochemistry study deals with Rutaceae intersecting with Glycosylation and Chalcone synthase. The Spore, Solanum tuberosum, Solanum nigrum and Shoot research Jonathan Gressel does as part of his general Botany study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Cassia, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. The Biotechnology study combines topics in areas such as Food processing, Natural enemies and Biological pest control.

His most cited work include:

Transgenics are imperative for biofuel crops (320 citations)
Molecular Biology of Weed Control (205 citations)
Modelling the effectiveness of herbicide resistance and mixtures as strategies to delay or preclude resistance. (198 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Botany, Biochemistry, Biotechnology and Weed. His work in Agronomy is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Acetolactate synthase. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biophysics and Horticulture.

His research integrates issues of Spirodela and Trichoderma in his study of Biochemistry. His Biotechnology research integrates issues from Agriculture, Resistance, Biological pest control, Herbicide resistance and Genetically modified crops. Jonathan Gressel combines subjects such as Hybrid and Introgression with his study of Genetically modified crops.

He most often published in these fields:

Agronomy (20.85%)
Botany (20.85%)
Biochemistry (17.92%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2020)?

Biotechnology (16.61%)
Algae (5.21%)
Agronomy (20.85%)

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

Jonathan Gressel mostly deals with Biotechnology, Algae, Agronomy, Botany and Cyanobacteria. His studies deal with areas such as Resistance, Herbicide resistance, Genetically modified crops and Oryza sativa, Weedy rice as well as Biotechnology. Weed, Striga, Glyphosate, Crop protection and Pesticide resistance are the core of his Agronomy study.

His study in Weed is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biological pest control, Crop and Genomics. The various areas that Jonathan Gressel examines in his Striga study include Imazapyr and Weed control. Jonathan Gressel has researched Botany in several fields, including Transformation, Genetically engineered, Transgene and Introgression.

Between 2008 and 2020, his most popular works were:

Inexpensive non-toxic flocculation of microalgae contradicts theories; overcoming a major hurdle to bulk algal production. (164 citations)
Low pesticide rates may hasten the evolution of resistance by increasing mutation frequencies. (108 citations)
A strategy to provide long-term control of weedy rice while mitigating herbicide resistance transgene flow, and its potential use for other crops with related weeds. (104 citations)

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

Enzyme
Gene
Botany

His main research concerns Biotechnology, Agronomy, Weed, Genetically modified crops and Pesticide resistance. His Biotechnology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Oryza sativa, Resistance and Herbicide resistance. His Agronomy study focuses mostly on Striga, Glyphosate and Crop protection.

The Weed study which covers Crop that intersects with Weedy rice, Germination and Agroforestry. His work carried out in the field of Genetically modified crops brings together such families of science as Dwarfing and Pollination. His Pesticide resistance study incorporates themes from Mutation rate and Allele.
