Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Statistics

His main research concerns Genetics, Genetic diversity, Germplasm, Genetic marker and Allele. Martin O. Bohn regularly links together related areas like Tassel in his Genetics studies. His Genetic diversity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Microsatellite and Cultivar.

Martin O. Bohn has researched Germplasm in several fields, including Genetic distance, Biotechnology, Hybrid and Plant breeding. His Plant breeding study is concerned with the larger field of Agronomy. His studies deal with areas such as Locus and Backcrossing as well as Genome.

His most cited work include:

  • Adaptation and invasiveness of western corn rootworm: intensifying research on a worsening pest. (331 citations)
  • Adaptation and invasiveness of western corn rootworm: intensifying research on a worsening pest. (331 citations)
  • Wheat genetic diversity trends during domestication and breeding (291 citations)

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

Martin O. Bohn mostly deals with Agronomy, Germplasm, Genetics, Quantitative trait locus and Hybrid. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including PEST analysis, European corn borer and Ostrinia. His PEST analysis research focuses on Pest control and how it relates to Diabrotica.

His Germplasm study incorporates themes from Biotechnology, Poaceae, Doubled haploidy and Genetic diversity. His Quantitative trait locus research incorporates elements of Southwestern corn borer, Diatraea saccharalis, Botany and Candidate gene. In general Hybrid study, his work on Heterosis often relates to the realm of Genetically modified maize, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (41.05%)
  • Germplasm (29.47%)
  • Genetics (25.26%)

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

  • Germplasm (29.47%)
  • Agronomy (41.05%)
  • Gene–environment interaction (5.26%)

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

Germplasm, Agronomy, Gene–environment interaction, Quantitative trait locus and Food science are his primary areas of study. His study in Germplasm is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Gibberellin, Biotechnology, Crop and Plant breeding. His study involves Western corn rootworm and Hybrid, a branch of Agronomy.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Environmental data and Phenology in addition to Gene–environment interaction. His study in the field of Doubled haploidy also crosses realms of Linear model, Diversity and Spurious relationship. His study on Food products is often connected to Product processing, Phenolic acid and Bioavailability as part of broader study in Food science.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Association Mapping of Flowering and Height Traits in Germplasm Enhancement of Maize Doubled Haploid (GEM-DH) Lines (17 citations)
  • Maize Genomes to Fields: 2014 and 2015 field season genotype, phenotype, environment, and inbred ear image datasets (16 citations)
  • Changes in Phenolic Acid Content in Maize during Food Product Processing. (11 citations)
