Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Genetics

Joseph H. Bouton mainly focuses on Botany, Poaceae, Festuca arundinacea, Endophyte and Agronomy. In the field of Botany, his study on Germplasm overlaps with subjects such as Medicago truncatula. His Poaceae study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Perennial plant, Fungi imperfecti, Grazing and Cultivar.

His Grazing research includes elements of Tall fescue toxicosis, Pasture and Beef cattle. His Cultivar research includes themes of Inoculation, Tifton, Forage and Festuca. His Agronomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Biomass, Biofuel, Bioenergy and Fermentation.

His most cited work include:

  • Genetic manipulation of lignin reduces recalcitrance and improves ethanol production from switchgrass (511 citations)
  • Yield and Persistence of Tall Fescue in the Southeastern Coastal Plain after Removal of Its Endophyte (141 citations)
  • Downregulation of Cinnamyl Alcohol Dehydrogenase (CAD) Leads to Improved Saccharification Efficiency in Switchgrass (138 citations)

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

Joseph H. Bouton focuses on Agronomy, Botany, Cultivar, Festuca arundinacea and Grazing. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biomass and Panicum virgatum. Botany and Horticulture are commonly linked in his work.

He has researched Cultivar in several fields, including Quantitative trait locus, Tifton and Trifolium repens. His Festuca arundinacea research includes elements of Endophyte, Cynodon dactylon and Pasture. In Grazing, Joseph H. Bouton works on issues like Plant disease resistance, which are connected to Silage.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (60.18%)
  • Botany (41.59%)
  • Cultivar (31.86%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Agronomy (60.18%)
  • Panicum virgatum (15.04%)
  • Cultivar (31.86%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Panicum virgatum, Cultivar, Botany and Biomass. His studies in Agronomy integrate themes in fields like Plant ecology and Quantitative trait locus. His study in Panicum virgatum is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Genetic marker, Ecotype, Genetic linkage, Locus and Heritability.

His Cultivar study combines topics in areas such as Organic acid, Daucus carota, Medicago sativa, Shoot and Cutting. His work in the fields of Botany, such as Temperate climate, Hordeum vulgare and Festuca arundinacea, intersects with other areas such as Diversity Arrays Technology. His work on Bioenergy as part of general Biomass study is frequently linked to Progeny testing, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Transgenic expression of phytase and acid phosphatase genes in alfalfa (Medicagosativa) leads to improved phosphate uptake in natural soils (47 citations)
  • Linkage Maps of Lowland and Upland Tetraploid Switchgrass Ecotypes (40 citations)
  • Characterization of the Rust Fungus, Puccinia emaculata , and Evaluation of Genetic Variability for Rust Resistance in Switchgrass Populations (28 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Genetics

Joseph H. Bouton mostly deals with Agronomy, Panicum virgatum, Botany, Quantitative trait locus and Cultivar. His research investigates the connection with Agronomy and areas like Biomass which intersect with concerns in Plant morphology. His Botany study focuses on Panicum in particular.

The concepts of his Quantitative trait locus study are interwoven with issues in Plant ecology, Genotype and Candidate gene. The Plant ecology study combines topics in areas such as Epistasis, Perennial plant and Crop yield. His Cultivar research incorporates themes from Genetic variability, Genetic variation and Teliospore.
