Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Agronomy
Botany
Gene

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Plant breeding, Sowing, Drought tolerance and Shoot. Germplasm, Crop, Greenhouse, Plant traits and Productivity are the subjects of his Agronomy studies. The Germplasm study combines topics in areas such as Cropping system, Phenology and Heritability.

His Plant breeding research includes themes of Cultivar and Crop yield. His Sowing study deals with Root system intersecting with Yield, Field capacity, Drought stress, Vegetative reproduction and Root length. He combines subjects such as Quantitative trait locus and Introgression with his study of Drought tolerance.

His most cited work include:

Genetic variability of drought-avoidance root traits in the mini-core germplasm collection of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) (212 citations)
Large-scale transcriptome analysis in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), an orphan legume crop of the semi-arid tropics of Asia and Africa (199 citations)
Variability of root length density and its contributions to seed yield in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under terminal drought stress (183 citations)

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

L. Krishnamurthy focuses on Agronomy, Germplasm, Drought tolerance, Horticulture and Cultivar. His Agronomy study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Genetic variability. L. Krishnamurthy has included themes like Heritability, Legume, Genetic diversity and Transpiration in his Germplasm study.

His studies deal with areas such as Quantitative trait locus, Chlorophyll and Point of delivery as well as Drought tolerance. L. Krishnamurthy focuses mostly in the field of Root system, narrowing it down to topics relating to Dry weight and, in certain cases, Shoot. His research in Sowing intersects with topics in Canopy, Crop yield, Field capacity, Alfisol and Vertisol.

He most often published in these fields:

Agronomy (78.21%)
Germplasm (38.46%)
Drought tolerance (35.90%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2019)?

Agronomy (78.21%)
Germplasm (38.46%)
Drought tolerance (35.90%)

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

L. Krishnamurthy mainly investigates Agronomy, Germplasm, Drought tolerance, Gene and Candidate gene. His Horticulture research extends to Agronomy, which is thematically connected. His Germplasm research integrates issues from Productivity, Canopy and Abiotic stress.

His work carried out in the field of Drought tolerance brings together such families of science as Quantitative trait locus, Legume and Transpiration. His work in Legume tackles topics such as Root system which are related to areas like Introgression, Subsoil, Heritability and Genetic variability. His studies deal with areas such as RNA, Biotechnology and Regulator gene as well as Candidate gene.

Between 2013 and 2019, his most popular works were:

Scope for improvement of yield under drought through the root traits in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) (51 citations)
Evaluation and validation of housekeeping genes as reference for gene expression studies in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) under drought stress conditions. (44 citations)
Two key genomic regions harbour QTLs for salinity tolerance in ICCV 2 × JG 11 derived chickpea ( Cicer arietinum L.) recombinant inbred lines (41 citations)

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

Agronomy
Botany
Gene

His scientific interests lie mostly in Candidate gene, Gene, Genetics, Cajanus and Gene expression. The Candidate gene study combines topics in areas such as Botany, Quantitative trait locus, Genetic marker, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Inbred strain. His Gene study often links to related topics such as Germplasm.

His Cajanus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Regulator gene, Pollen, Housekeeping gene, Genotype and Gene regulatory network. His Housekeeping gene research incorporates elements of Reference genes, Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, Gene expression profiling, Biotechnology and Gene duplication. As part of his studies on Gene expression, he frequently links adjacent subjects like RNA.
