Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agronomy
  • Botany
  • Gene

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Cultivar, Nitrogen fixation, Sowing and Crop yield. In his works, Larry C. Purcell undertakes multidisciplinary study on Agronomy and Empirical equations. Larry C. Purcell has included themes like Glycine, Crop and Yield in his Cultivar study.

His work carried out in the field of Nitrogen fixation brings together such families of science as Greenhouse, Biochemistry and Drought tolerance. His research integrates issues of Biomass, Population density, Canopy and Interception in his study of Sowing. The Crop yield study combines topics in areas such as Carbon metabolism, Biotechnology, Cropping system and Multiple cropping.

His most cited work include:

  • Symbiotic N2 fixation response to drought (336 citations)
  • Quantifying Turfgrass Cover Using Digital Image Analysis (325 citations)
  • Crop transformation and the challenge to increase yield potential. (276 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Cultivar, Nitrogen fixation, Canopy and Drought tolerance. His research combines Soil water and Agronomy. His Cultivar research includes elements of Population density, Field experiment, Growing season, Maturity and Crop yield.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Water deficit and Shoot in addition to Nitrogen fixation. His work deals with themes such as Quantitative trait locus, Association mapping, Interception and Wilting, which intersect with Canopy. His Drought tolerance research incorporates elements of Water stress, Genotype, Water-use efficiency and Transpiration.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (69.06%)
  • Cultivar (20.86%)
  • Nitrogen fixation (17.99%)

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

  • Genetics (7.91%)
  • Quantitative trait locus (10.07%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Genetics, Quantitative trait locus, Heritability and Composition. His study brings together the fields of Nitrogen management and Agronomy. Larry C. Purcell has researched Genetics in several fields, including Water-use efficiency and Drought tolerance.

The various areas that Larry C. Purcell examines in his Heritability study include Multiple comparisons problem, Statistics, Bonferroni correction, False positives and false negatives and False discovery rate. His Human fertilization study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Growing season and Transpiration. His Soil water research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Glycine, Inoculation, Horticulture and Nitrogen fixation, N2 Fixation.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Estimation of a significance threshold for genome-wide association studies (23 citations)

  • Assessing Variation in US Soybean Seed Composition (Protein and Oil). (19 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Agronomy
  • Fertilizer

Larry C. Purcell mostly deals with Quantitative trait locus, Heritability, Genetics, False positives and false negatives and Multiple comparisons problem. His Quantitative trait locus study incorporates themes from Inbred strain and Drought tolerance. His study in the field of Epistasis also crosses realms of Isotopes of carbon, δ13C and Trait.

His work carried out in the field of False positives and false negatives brings together such families of science as Regression analysis, Bonferroni correction, Linkage disequilibrium and False discovery rate. His research integrates issues of False positive paradox and Statistical significance in his study of Multiple comparisons problem. His Genotype research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Photosynthesis, Canopy, Chlorophyll, Botany and Allele.
