Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agronomy
  • Botany
  • Cultivar

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Hybrid, Zea mays, Growth rate and Crop. In his research, María E. Otegui undertakes multidisciplinary study on Agronomy and Source sink. His Hybrid research includes elements of Canopy, Plant population and Shoot.

The concepts of his Zea mays study are interwoven with issues in Grain yield, Pollination and Animal science. His study focuses on the intersection of Crop and fields such as Dry weight with connections in the field of Interspecific competition, Field experiment and Semis. María E. Otegui has researched Leaf area index in several fields, including Water use, Surface irrigation and Water-use efficiency.

His most cited work include:

  • Seed dry weight response to source–sink manipulations in wheat, maize and soybean: a quantitative reappraisal (542 citations)
  • Growth, water use, and kernel abortion of maize subjected to drought at silking (206 citations)
  • Plant population density, row spacing and hybrid effects on maize canopy architecture and light attenuation (200 citations)

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

Agronomy, Hybrid, Zea mays, Horticulture and Grain yield are his primary areas of study. The Crop, Crop yield and Biomass partitioning research María E. Otegui does as part of his general Agronomy study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Growth rate, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His studies deal with areas such as Dry weight, Leaf area index, Photosynthetically active radiation and Sowing as well as Crop.

His Hybrid research integrates issues from Temperate climate, Biomass, Poaceae, Inbred strain and Animal science. He interconnects Plant growth, Grain filling and Pollination in the investigation of issues within Zea mays. His Horticulture research includes elements of Botany, Arabidopsis, Water-use efficiency, Abiotic stress and Genetically modified crops.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (85.29%)
  • Hybrid (67.65%)
  • Zea mays (22.55%)

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

  • Agronomy (85.29%)
  • Hybrid (67.65%)
  • Heritability (16.67%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Hybrid, Heritability, Horticulture and Kernel. His Agronomy study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Inbred strain. His work often combines Hybrid and Growth rate studies.

His Horticulture study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Genetically modified crops and Arabidopsis. The concepts of his Kernel study are interwoven with issues in Epistasis and Zea mays. His Zea mays study combines topics in areas such as Plant growth and Grain weight.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Field-grown transgenic wheat expressing the sunflower gene HaHB4 significantly outyields the wild type (30 citations)
  • Reduced expression of selected FASCICLIN-LIKE ARABINOGALACTAN PROTEIN genes associates with the abortion of kernels in field crops of Zea mays (maize) and of Arabidopsis seeds. (17 citations)
  • Reduced expression of selected FASCICLIN-LIKE ARABINOGALACTAN PROTEIN genes associates with the abortion of kernels in field crops of Zea mays (maize) and of Arabidopsis seeds. (17 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Agronomy
  • Horticulture

María E. Otegui mostly deals with Hybrid, Horticulture, Agronomy, Drought tolerance and Genetically modified crops. His research integrates issues of Grain yield and Kernel in his study of Hybrid. He has included themes like Arabidopsis thaliana, Silique, Arabidopsis and Gene expression in his Horticulture study.

Many of his research projects under Agronomy are closely connected to Source sink and Kernel size with Source sink and Kernel size, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His Drought tolerance study also includes

  • Cultivar which is related to area like Genetically modified organism, Biotechnology, Crop yield and Transformation,
  • Water-use efficiency together with Biomass, Crop, Temperate climate, Water use and Photosynthetically active radiation. His Genetically modified crops research incorporates elements of Xylem and Ectopic expression.
