What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
- Agriculture
- Agronomy
- Genetics
Her primary areas of study are Agronomy, Poaceae, Plant breeding, Drought tolerance and Biomass.
Her work on Zea mays, Crop yield and Yield as part of general Agronomy study is frequently linked to Abiotic stress, bridging the gap between disciplines.
Her Crop yield research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Global warming, Climate change and Crop.
The concepts of her Poaceae study are interwoven with issues in Yield and Soil fertility.
Marianne Bänziger performs multidisciplinary study in the fields of Plant breeding and Quantitative trait locus via her papers.
Her study looks at the relationship between Drought tolerance and topics such as Tropics, which overlap with Heterosis and Diallel cross.
Her most cited work include:
- Nonlinear heat effects on African maize as evidenced by historical yield trials (646 citations)
- Crops that feed the world 6. Past successes and future challenges to the role played by maize in global food security (638 citations)
- Prediction of Genetic Values of Quantitative Traits in Plant Breeding Using Pedigree and Molecular Markers (497 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Her scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Drought tolerance, Plant breeding, Hybrid and Zea mays.
Marianne Bänziger works mostly in the field of Agronomy, limiting it down to topics relating to Tropics and, in certain cases, Germplasm, as a part of the same area of interest.
Her Germplasm research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Agroforestry and Heritability.
Her Drought tolerance study incorporates themes from Biomass and Agriculture.
Her Crop yield research integrates issues from Yield, Crop and Yield.
Her research in Poaceae intersects with topics in Chlorophyll, Soil fertility and Cultivar.
She most often published in these fields:
- Agronomy (61.33%)
- Drought tolerance (26.67%)
- Plant breeding (22.67%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2013-2020)?
- Agronomy (61.33%)
- Grain yield (10.67%)
- Genetic gain (4.00%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Her primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Grain yield, Genetic gain, Hybrid and Replication.
Her research in Agronomy is mostly concerned with Yield.
Marianne Bänziger performs multidisciplinary studies into Genetic gain and Crop yield in her work.
Her Hybrid study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Zea mays and Abiotic component.
Her work deals with themes such as Diallel cross and Heterosis, which intersect with Zea mays.
Her Plant breeding research includes elements of Water stress and Agroforestry.
Between 2013 and 2020, her most popular works were:
- Genetic Gains in Grain Yield Through Genomic Selection in Eight Bi-parental Maize Populations under Drought Stress (145 citations)
- Gains in Maize Genetic Improvement in Eastern and Southern Africa: I. CIMMYT Hybrid Breeding Pipeline (47 citations)
- Molecular mapping across three populations reveals a QTL hotspot region on chromosome 3 for secondary traits associated with drought tolerance in tropical maize (38 citations)
