Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

Joseph W. Burton mainly investigates Cultivar, Biochemistry, Agronomy, Soybean oil and Botany. His Cultivar research focuses on subjects like Genetic diversity, which are linked to Germplasm and Pedigree chart. Within one scientific family, Joseph W. Burton focuses on topics pertaining to Chromatography under Biochemistry, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Glycine and Reagent.

Joseph W. Burton incorporates Agronomy and Base in his studies. His research on Soybean oil also deals with topics like

  • Genetics, Genetic analysis, Genetic marker, Microsatellite and Quantitative trait locus most often made with reference to Unsaturated fatty acid,
  • Oleic acid and related Animal science and Linoleic acid. His Botany study deals with Horticulture intersecting with Phenotype.

His most cited work include:

  • Genetic Base for North American Public Soybean Cultivars Released between 1947 and 1988 (273 citations)
  • A modified colorimetric method for phytic acid analysis in soybean (140 citations)
  • Purified Ferritin and Soybean Meal Can be Sources of Iron for Treating Iron Deficiency in Rats (113 citations)

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

Agronomy, Cultivar, Botany, Germplasm and Horticulture are his primary areas of study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Nitrogen fixation and Animal science. The Cultivar study combines topics in areas such as Genetic variability, Crop yield and Genetic diversity.

His Botany research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Heritability, Glycine, Thylakoid and Fatty acid. His Germplasm study incorporates themes from Biotechnology and Linolenic acid. His research integrates issues of Unsaturated fatty acid, Food science and Linoleic acid in his study of Oleic acid.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (34.93%)
  • Cultivar (28.08%)
  • Botany (27.40%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2020)?

  • Genetics (12.33%)
  • Agronomy (34.93%)
  • Quantitative trait locus (9.59%)

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

His main research concerns Genetics, Agronomy, Quantitative trait locus, Soybean oil and Botany. His work on Gene, Molecular analysis and Genetic variation is typically connected to Inheritance as part of general Genetics study, connecting several disciplines of science. The study of Agronomy is intertwined with the study of Animal science in a number of ways.

His work deals with themes such as Unsaturated fatty acid, Phenotype and Evolutionary biology, which intersect with Quantitative trait locus. The study incorporates disciplines such as Saturated fatty acid and Oleic acid in addition to Soybean oil. The concepts of his Botany study are interwoven with issues in Glycine, Food science, Linolenate, Fatty acid and Allele.

Between 2006 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • A modified colorimetric method for phytic acid analysis in soybean (140 citations)
  • Mutations in a Δ9–Stearoyl‐ACP‐Desaturase Gene Are Associated with Enhanced Stearic Acid Levels in Soybean Seeds (63 citations)
  • Genetic Mapping and Confirmation of Quantitative Trait Loci for Seed Protein and Oil Contents and Seed Weight in Soybean (63 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

Joseph W. Burton mostly deals with Oleic acid, Soybean oil, Quantitative trait locus, Biochemistry and Unsaturated fatty acid. His Oleic acid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Glycine, Food science and Fatty acid. His study focuses on the intersection of Biochemistry and fields such as Chromatography with connections in the field of Phytic acid.

In most of his Unsaturated fatty acid studies, his work intersects topics such as Genetics. His Botany study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Allele, Genetic correlation, Linolenate and Heritability. His Heritability research includes themes of Agronomy, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Inbred strain and Soybean cyst nematode.
