Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Botany
Agriculture
Ecology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Plant breeding, Botany, Drought tolerance and Photosynthesis. He interconnects Abiotic component and Transpiration in the investigation of issues within Agronomy. He focuses mostly in the field of Transpiration, narrowing it down to matters related to Stomatal conductance and, in some cases, Ecology.

His study explores the link between Plant breeding and topics such as Adaptation that cross with problems in Shoot, Heterosis, Biotechnology, Molecular breeding and Agroforestry. His study looks at the relationship between Botany and topics such as Horticulture, which overlap with Xanthophyll and Heritability. His studies deal with areas such as Chlorophyll and Anthesis as well as Photosynthesis.

His most cited work include:

Plant breeding and drought in C3 cereals: what should we breed for? (912 citations)
Field high-throughput phenotyping: the new crop breeding frontier (795 citations)
Breeding for Yield Potential and Stress Adaptation in Cereals (520 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Photosynthesis, Botany, Canopy and Irrigation. His studies in Agronomy integrate themes in fields like Transpiration, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and Stomatal conductance. His Transpiration study combines topics in areas such as Poaceae, Water-use efficiency and Drought tolerance.

His Photosynthesis research integrates issues from Chlorophyll, Shoot and Horticulture. José Luis Araus combines subjects such as Remote sensing and Hybrid with his study of Canopy. He has researched Irrigation in several fields, including Mediterranean climate, Isotopes of carbon, Salinity and Sowing.

He most often published in these fields:

Agronomy (53.39%)
Photosynthesis (27.97%)
Botany (17.37%)

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

Agronomy (53.39%)
Canopy (17.80%)
Photosynthesis (27.97%)

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

José Luis Araus spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Canopy, Photosynthesis, Irrigation and Horticulture. His work on Agronomy is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Mediterranean climate. His work deals with themes such as Bract, Vegetation, Remote sensing and Sowing, which intersect with Canopy.

The various areas that José Luis Araus examines in his Photosynthesis study include Dry matter, Crop yield and Metabolism. His Irrigation research focuses on Salinity and how it relates to Nitrogen cycle. His Shoot study, which is part of a larger body of work in Horticulture, is frequently linked to Yield and Flash, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

UAV and Ground Image-Based Phenotyping: A Proof of Concept with Durum Wheat (31 citations)
Evaluating maize genotype performance under low nitrogen conditions using RGB UAV phenotyping techniques (22 citations)
Low-cost assessment of grain yield in durum wheat using RGB images (20 citations)

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

Botany
Agriculture
Ecology

José Luis Araus mostly deals with Agronomy, Mediterranean climate, Yield, Remote sensing and Canopy. José Luis Araus has included themes like Biomass and Photosynthesis in his Agronomy study. His Mediterranean climate research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Agroforestry, Sustainable food production and Traceability.

His Yield research includes elements of Grain filling and Ideotype. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Aleppo Pine and Pinus . His Canopy research includes themes of Bract, Leaf area index, Vegetation and Plant breeding.
