Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Ecology
  • Genetics

Martin M. Vila-Aiub spends much of his time researching Resistance, Botany, Lolium rigidum, Genetics and Weed. His Resistance study combines topics in areas such as Glycine, Chromosomal translocation, Biotechnology, Evolutionary dynamics and Herbicide resistance. The various areas that Martin M. Vila-Aiub examines in his Herbicide resistance study include Perennial plant, Allele and Adaptive value.

His Botany research integrates issues from Pesticide resistance and Gene. He studies Genetics, focusing on Pleiotropy in particular. His Weed study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Weed control.

His most cited work include:

  • Fitness costs associated with evolved herbicide resistance alleles in plants. (231 citations)
  • Fitness costs associated with evolved herbicide resistance alleles in plants. (231 citations)
  • Evolutionary-thinking in agricultural weed management. (177 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Resistance, Weed, Glyphosate, Agronomy and Genetics. The concepts of his Resistance study are interwoven with issues in Evolutionary dynamics, Agriculture, Biotechnology and Herbicide resistance. His studies in Biotechnology integrate themes in fields like Genetic Fitness and Adaptive value.

His work deals with themes such as Weed control and Competition, which intersect with Weed. In general Glyphosate, his work in Amaranthus palmeri is often linked to Lethal dose linking many areas of study. His work on Lolium rigidum as part of general Botany study is frequently linked to Relative growth rate, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Resistance (76.67%)
  • Weed (65.00%)
  • Glyphosate (73.33%)

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

  • Glyphosate (73.33%)
  • Genetics (55.00%)
  • Resistance (76.67%)

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

Martin M. Vila-Aiub mostly deals with Glyphosate, Genetics, Resistance, Weed and Fitness cost. Martin M. Vila-Aiub combines subjects such as Zoology, Echinochloa, Ecology and Chromosomal translocation with his study of Glyphosate. His Echinochloa research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Phenotype, Gene, Genetic variation, Germination and Pesticide resistance.

His Resistance study frequently links to other fields, such as Amaranthus palmeri. The Weed study combines topics in areas such as Weed control and Competition. His study in Fitness cost is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Adaptation, Agriculture, Agroecology and Biotechnology.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The power and potential of genomics in weed biology and management (31 citations)
  • Do plants pay a fitness cost to be resistant to glyphosate (21 citations)
  • Do plants pay a fitness cost to be resistant to glyphosate (21 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Ecology
  • Genetics

Martin M. Vila-Aiub focuses on Weed, Genetics, Fitness cost, Cost prediction and Adaptation. His multidisciplinary approach integrates Weed and Environmental planning in his work. His Environmental planning studies intersect with other disciplines such as Herbicide resistance, Identification, Genomics, Weed science and Weed control.

While working on this project, Martin M. Vila-Aiub studies both Herbicide resistance and Research groups. In most of his Genetics studies, his work intersects topics such as Glyphosate.
