Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Horticulture
  • Gene

Her primary areas of investigation include Botany, Pollination, Horticulture, Pollen tube and Genetics. Margaret Sedgley interconnects Navel orange, Citrus × sinensis and RAPD in the investigation of issues within Botany. Her Pollination study is concerned with the larger field of Pollen.

Her Horticulture research includes themes of Pollinator, Amegilla and Agronomy. Her Pollen tube research incorporates elements of Ovule and Gynoecium. Her Cultivar research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Pcr cloning, Genetic variability, Molecular marker and Olea.

Her most cited work include:

  • Regulation of floral initiation in horticultural trees (219 citations)
  • High resolution melting analysis of almond SNPs derived from ESTs (141 citations)
  • Genetic variability between different accessions of some common commercial olive cultivars (89 citations)

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

Botany, Horticulture, Cultivar, Pollination and Pollen tube are her primary areas of study. Her study in Pollen, Shoot, Proteaceae, Olea and Anthesis falls under the purview of Botany. Her research in Horticulture intersects with topics in Agronomy and Shelf life.

Her Cultivar research includes elements of Pollenizer, Diallel cross, Molecular marker and Orchard. Her studies in Pollination integrate themes in fields like Plant ecology and Outcrossing. Her Pollen tube study combines topics in areas such as Ovule, Hand-pollination and Gynoecium.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (68.07%)
  • Horticulture (33.13%)
  • Cultivar (19.88%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2008-2018)?

  • Botany (68.07%)
  • Horticulture (33.13%)
  • Macadamia integrifolia (5.42%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Botany, Horticulture, Macadamia integrifolia, Cultivar and Canopy. Her study in the field of Mycology is also linked to topics like Pathogen detection. Margaret Sedgley has included themes like Agronomy and Shelf life in her Horticulture study.

Her study on Macadamia integrifolia also encompasses disciplines like

  • Pruning which connect with Anthesis,
  • Raceme, which have a strong connection to Flower induction and Axillary bud. Her work deals with themes such as Transformation and Olea, which intersect with Cultivar. Margaret Sedgley has researched Olea in several fields, including Pollenizer and Pollen, Pollination.

Between 2008 and 2018, her most popular works were:

  • Mapping SNP-anchored genes using high-resolution melting analysis in almond (40 citations)
  • Factors affecting Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer and the selection of transgenic calli in paper shell almond (Prunus dulcis Mill.) (35 citations)
  • High Levels of Genetic Contamination in Remnant Populations of Acacia saligna from a Genetically Divergent Planted Stand (30 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Horticulture

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Cultivar, Horticulture, Genetic linkage and Genetic marker. Her Botany research integrates issues from Colletotrichum acutatum and Mating system. The concepts of her Cultivar study are interwoven with issues in Diallel cross, Pollen, Pollenizer, Pollen tube and Olea.

The Olea study combines topics in areas such as Ovule, Hand-pollination, Gynoecium, Shoot and Inflorescence. Her work on Pruning, Anthesis and Macadamia integrifolia as part of general Horticulture research is frequently linked to Fruit abscission, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. Her study in Genetic linkage is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Genotyping, Microsatellite, Synteny and High Resolution Melt.
