Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agronomy
  • Agriculture
  • Ecology

His main research concerns Agronomy, Canopy, Quantitative trait locus, Plant breeding and Anthesis. His Agronomy research includes themes of Photosynthetic capacity and Photosynthesis. His Canopy research integrates issues from Ecophysiology, Chlorophyll, Locus and Stomatal conductance.

The concepts of his Quantitative trait locus study are interwoven with issues in Multivariate statistics, Powdery mildew, Linkage disequilibrium and Water-use efficiency. His research in Plant breeding intersects with topics in Adaptation, Germplasm and Inbred strain. His Germplasm research incorporates themes from Biotechnology and Drought tolerance.

His most cited work include:

  • Plant breeding and drought in C3 cereals: what should we breed for? (912 citations)
  • Rising Temperatures Reduce Global Wheat Production (801 citations)
  • Genome-wide comparative diversity uncovers multiple targets of selection for improvement in hexaploid wheat landraces and cultivars. (664 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Crop, Canopy, Anthesis and Biotechnology. His Agronomy research focuses on Cultivar, Plant breeding, Crop yield, Germplasm and Poaceae. His Plant breeding study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Quantitative trait locus and Drought tolerance.

His Crop research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Agricultural engineering and Yield. His Canopy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biomass, Soil water, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and Stomatal conductance. He focuses mostly in the field of Biotechnology, narrowing it down to matters related to Agriculture and, in some cases, Natural resource economics and Agroforestry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (59.27%)
  • Crop (14.57%)
  • Canopy (15.23%)

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

  • Agronomy (59.27%)
  • Crop (14.57%)
  • Agriculture (13.25%)

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

Matthew P. Reynolds spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Crop, Agriculture, Quantitative trait locus and Germplasm. Matthew P. Reynolds frequently studies issues relating to Photosynthesis and Agronomy. Matthew P. Reynolds combines subjects such as Drought tolerance, Agricultural engineering, Anthesis and Yield with his study of Crop.

His Agriculture study incorporates themes from Agroforestry and Plant breeding. His Quantitative trait locus study incorporates themes from Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Allele. The Germplasm study combines topics in areas such as Introgression and Candidate gene.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Climate change impact and adaptation for wheat protein (97 citations)
  • Hyperspectral reflectance as a tool to measure biochemical and physiological traits in wheat (92 citations)
  • Genome-Wide Association Analyses Identify QTL Hotspots for Yield and Component Traits in Durum Wheat Grown under Yield Potential, Drought, and Heat Stress Environments (68 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Gene

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Grain yield, Climate change, Agriculture and Quantitative trait locus. Matthew P. Reynolds has included themes like Photosynthesis and Canopy in his Agronomy study. His Grain yield study deals with Normalized Difference Vegetation Index intersecting with Biomass and Irrigation.

His work in the fields of Climate change, such as Climate model, overlaps with other areas such as Atmospheric sciences. The Food security research Matthew P. Reynolds does as part of his general Agriculture study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Foundation, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. Matthew P. Reynolds combines subjects such as Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Linkage disequilibrium, Genome-wide association study and Phenology with his study of Quantitative trait locus.
