Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Genetics

Marc Lemmens spends much of his time researching Fusarium, Agronomy, Quantitative trait locus, Cultivar and Genetics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Plant disease resistance, Inoculation, Mycotoxin and Poaceae. His studies deal with areas such as Chromatography and Biotransformation as well as Mycotoxin.

His work in Agronomy addresses subjects such as Fusarium culmorum, which are connected to disciplines such as Blight and Gene–environment interaction. His Quantitative trait locus study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Chromosome, Gene mapping and Locus. His Cultivar research integrates issues from Genetic marker, Fungi imperfecti and Heritability.

His most cited work include:

  • Molecular mapping of QTLs for Fusarium head blight resistance in spring wheat. I. Resistance to fungal spread (Type II resistance). (375 citations)
  • The Ability to Detoxify the Mycotoxin Deoxynivalenol Colocalizes With a Major Quantitative Trait Locus for Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Wheat (315 citations)
  • Masked mycotoxins: determination of a deoxynivalenol glucoside in artificially and naturally contaminated wheat by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. (310 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Fusarium, Mycotoxin, Agronomy, Genetics and Inoculation. His Fusarium research includes elements of Quantitative trait locus, Cultivar, Plant disease resistance and Resistance. His Quantitative trait locus research also works with subjects such as

  • Locus and related Doubled haploidy,
  • Amplified fragment length polymorphism, which have a strong connection to Genetic linkage.

His research in Mycotoxin intersects with topics in Toxin, Biochemistry and Chromatography. His work in the fields of Agronomy, such as Poaceae, Crop and Germplasm, intersects with other areas such as Veterinary medicine. Genetics is frequently linked to Botany in his study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Fusarium (62.90%)
  • Mycotoxin (32.26%)
  • Agronomy (28.23%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

  • Fusarium (62.90%)
  • Metabolomics (11.29%)
  • Mycotoxin (32.26%)

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

Marc Lemmens focuses on Fusarium, Metabolomics, Mycotoxin, Metabolome and Inoculation. The various areas that Marc Lemmens examines in his Fusarium study include Quantitative trait locus, Agronomy and Virulence. His Cultivar and Plant growth study in the realm of Agronomy connects with subjects such as Nutrient and Science research.

His work deals with themes such as Plant disease resistance, Glucosyltransferases, Stereochemistry and Trichothecene, which intersect with Virulence. His Mycotoxin study frequently involves adjacent topics like Toxin. His Inoculation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ochratoxin A and Cyclopiazonic acid.

Between 2016 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Breeding strategies and advances in line selection for Fusarium head blight resistance in wheat (69 citations)
  • A barley UDP-glucosyltransferase inactivates nivalenol and provides Fusarium Head Blight resistance in transgenic wheat. (37 citations)
  • Exploring and exploiting the genetic variation of Fusarium head blight resistance for genomic-assisted breeding in the elite durum wheat gene pool. (20 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Genetics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Fusarium, Genetic variation, Quantitative trait locus, Mycotoxin and Virulence. His Fusarium research incorporates elements of Molecular breeding and Germplasm. Genetic variation is a subfield of Genetics that Marc Lemmens tackles.

His Quantitative trait locus study incorporates themes from Biotechnology, Allele, Agronomy and Locus. His Mycotoxin research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Toxin, Glucosyltransferases and Stereochemistry. Marc Lemmens focuses mostly in the field of Virulence, narrowing it down to matters related to Trichothecene and, in some cases, Arabidopsis thaliana and Plant disease resistance.
