Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Botany
  • Agronomy

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Cultivar, Water-use efficiency, Crop and Phenology. His research combines Photosynthesis and Agronomy. In his study, Auxin is strongly linked to Osmolyte, which falls under the umbrella field of Photosynthesis.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Cultivar, Gene–environment interaction is strongly linked to Mediterranean climate. The Water-use efficiency study combines topics in areas such as Soil water, Soil fertility, Crop yield and Stomatal conductance. His work deals with themes such as Water scarcity, Biomass, Canopy, Tropics and Abiotic stress, which intersect with Crop.

His most cited work include:

  • Heat Stress in Wheat during Reproductive and Grain-Filling Phases (391 citations)
  • Morphological and physiological traits associated with wheat yield increases in Mediterranean environments (363 citations)
  • Polyamines: natural and engineered abiotic and biotic stress tolerance in plants. (342 citations)

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

Agronomy, Horticulture, Cultivar, Crop and Sowing are his primary areas of study. In his research, Water content is intimately related to Soil water, which falls under the overarching field of Agronomy. His Horticulture study incorporates themes from Photosynthesis and Plant nutrition.

His Cultivar study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Dry matter. His research in Water-use efficiency intersects with topics in Mulch, Transpiration and Stomatal conductance. Kadambot H. M. Siddique has included themes like Ruminant and Monogastric in his Plant breeding study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (57.91%)
  • Horticulture (17.78%)
  • Cultivar (14.68%)

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

  • Agronomy (57.91%)
  • Horticulture (17.78%)
  • Agriculture (9.14%)

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

Kadambot H. M. Siddique spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Horticulture, Agriculture, Soil water and Mulch. As part of his studies on Agronomy, Kadambot H. M. Siddique often connects relevant subjects like Water content. His Horticulture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Photosynthesis and Plant physiology.

Within one scientific family, Kadambot H. M. Siddique focuses on topics pertaining to Agroforestry under Agriculture, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Crop, Sustainability, Cropping and Cropping system. He works mostly in the field of Soil water, limiting it down to topics relating to Water use and, in certain cases, Yield. Kadambot H. M. Siddique works mostly in the field of Mulch, limiting it down to topics relating to Soil carbon and, in certain cases, Soil fertility and Tillage, as a part of the same area of interest.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Resequencing of 429 chickpea accessions from 45 countries provides insights into genome diversity, domestication and agronomic traits. (64 citations)
  • Sequencing of Cultivated Peanut, Arachis hypogaea, Yields Insights into Genome Evolution and Oil Improvement (58 citations)
  • Influence of rice straw biochar on growth, antioxidant capacity and copper uptake in ramie (Boehmeria nivea L.) grown as forage in aged copper-contaminated soil. (45 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Botany
  • Ecology

Kadambot H. M. Siddique mainly focuses on Agronomy, Horticulture, Sowing, Abiotic stress and Crop. His Agronomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Abiotic component and Water content. His Horticulture research incorporates elements of Photosynthesis and Soil contamination.

The Sowing study which covers Phenology that intersects with Rainwater harvesting, Soil water, Biomass, Water use and Stomatal conductance. His Abiotic stress research integrates issues from Adaptation, Chaperonin, Binding protein and Salinity. His Crop study combines topics in areas such as Agroforestry, Agriculture, Interaction, Main effect and Rank correlation.
