Kevin V. Pixley

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Genetics
• Gene
• Agronomy

Kevin V. Pixley mainly investigates Biotechnology, Biofortification, Genetic diversity, Germplasm and Molecular marker. Kevin V. Pixley combines subjects such as Agronomy and Plant breeding with his study of Biotechnology. His study in Agronomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Inbred strain and Locus.

The concepts of his Plant breeding study are interwoven with issues in Micronutrient deficiency, Food processing, Crop and Heritability. His studies deal with areas such as Genetics, Food science, Carotenoid, Retinol and Malnutrition as well as Biofortification. His research integrates issues of Animal science, Hypervitaminosis A and Vitamin A deficiency in his study of Food science.

His most cited work include:

• Enhancing the mineral and vitamin content of wheat and maize through plant breeding (309 citations)
• Genetically Engineered Crops: Experiences and Prospects (198 citations)
• Biofortified orange maize is as efficacious as a vitamin A supplement in Zambian children even in the presence of high liver reserves of vitamin A: a community-based, randomized placebo-controlled trial (115 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Biotechnology, Biofortification, Plant breeding and Carotenoid. The study incorporates disciplines such as Zea mays, Cultivar and Germplasm in addition to Biotechnology. His Germplasm research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Genetic marker, Inbred strain and Genetic diversity.

His studies in Biofortification integrate themes in fields like Fortification, Food science, Vitamin A deficiency, Staple food and Malnutrition. Kevin V. Pixley interconnects Quantitative trait locus, Crop yield and Heritability in the investigation of issues within Plant breeding. His Carotenoid research includes themes of Animal science and Vitamin, Retinol.

He most often published in these fields:

• Agronomy (41.03%)
• Biotechnology (30.77%)
• Biofortification (37.18%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

• Biofortification (37.18%)
• Plant breeding (34.62%)
• Carotenoid (33.33%)

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

Biofortification, Plant breeding, Carotenoid, Domestication and Vitamin are his primary areas of study. The concepts of his Biofortification study are interwoven with issues in Food science, Crop diversity and Agronomy. His Plant breeding study deals with Genetic marker intersecting with Haplotype, Aegilops tauschii and Allele.

His Carotenoid research incorporates themes from Aspergillus flavus, Mycotoxin, Animal science and Malnutrition. His work on Retinol as part of general Vitamin study is frequently linked to SCARB1, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work investigates the relationship between Evolutionary biology and topics such as Genome that intersect with problems in Germplasm.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Harnessing genetic potential of wheat germplasm banks through impact-oriented-prebreeding for future food and nutritional security. (34 citations)
• Genome Editing, Gene Drives, and Synthetic Biology: Will They Contribute to Disease-Resistant Crops, and Who Will Benefit? (16 citations)
• Diversity analysis of 80,000 wheat accessions reveals consequences and opportunities of selection footprints (12 citations)

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

• Genetics
• Gene
• Agronomy

Kevin V. Pixley mostly deals with Plant breeding, Genetic marker, Germplasm, Disease resistant and Genome editing. His Plant breeding study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Toxicology, Aspergillus flavus, Mycotoxin, Carotenoid and Aflatoxin. His Genetic marker research integrates issues from Evolutionary biology, Domestication, Genome and Genetic variation.

The various areas that he examines in his Germplasm study include Genetics, Quantitative trait locus, Allele, Haplotype and Aegilops tauschii. His Disease resistant research incorporates elements of Biotechnology, Genetically modified organism and Synthetic biology.
