Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Botany, Genetic diversity, Microsatellite and Ecology. His Genetics study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Gliadin. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of UPGMA, Phylogenetic tree and Introgression.

His Genetic diversity research focuses on Gene flow and Gene pool. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Genetic marker, Locus, Lycopersicon and Loss of heterozygosity. His Ecology study deals with Biological dispersal intersecting with Geographical distance, Rana arvalis, Floodplain, Population genetics and Riparian zone.

His most cited work include:

  • Indicators for biodiversity in agricultural landscapes: a pan‐European study (481 citations)
  • Alpha-gliadin genes from the A, B, and D genomes of wheat contain different sets of celiac disease epitopes (451 citations)
  • Use of short microsatellites from database sequences to generate polymorphisms among Lycopersicon esculentum cultivars and accessions of other Lycopersicon species (266 citations)

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

His main research concerns Genetics, Botany, Genetic diversity, Microsatellite and Gluten. His Genetics and Gene, Genome, Locus, Gene family and Ploidy investigations all form part of his Genetics research activities. His Botany research integrates issues from Quantitative trait locus, Tissue culture, Solanaceae and Introgression.

His studies in Genetic diversity integrate themes in fields like Ecology and Genetic variation. His work deals with themes such as Genetic marker, Cultivar, Genotype and Loss of heterozygosity, which intersect with Microsatellite. Marinus J. M. Smulders has included themes like Epitope, Coeliac disease, Biotechnology and Storage protein in his Gluten study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (28.57%)
  • Botany (22.39%)
  • Genetic diversity (18.92%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Genetics (28.57%)
  • Gluten (12.74%)
  • Biotechnology (10.04%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genetics, Gluten, Biotechnology, Genome and Plant breeding. His research in Gluten intersects with topics in Epitope, Prolamin and Coeliac disease. Marinus J. M. Smulders interconnects Evolutionary biology, Rosa chinensis and DNA sequencing in the investigation of issues within Genome.

His Plant breeding study incorporates themes from Natural resource economics and Crop. His Polyploid study combines topics in areas such as Functional variation, Ornamental plant, Botany and Outbreeding depression. His Single-nucleotide polymorphism research focuses on Petal and how it relates to Genetic diversity.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Opportunities for Products of New Plant Breeding Techniques (121 citations)
  • A high-quality genome sequence of Rosa chinensis to elucidate ornamental traits. (85 citations)
  • Partial preferential chromosome pairing is genotype dependent in tetraploid rose. (42 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

Marinus J. M. Smulders mostly deals with Genetics, Genome, Gluten, Biotechnology and Synteny. His work on Genetics is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Population structure. The study incorporates disciplines such as Evolutionary biology and DNA sequencing in addition to Genome.

The Gluten study which covers Coeliac disease that intersects with CRISPR, Gliadin and Mutation breeding. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Synteny, concentrating on Cultivar and frequently concerns with Genotype. His studies deal with areas such as Microsatellite, Allele, Juglans and Locus as well as Genetic diversity.
