  • 2009 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agronomy

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Panicum virgatum, Botany, Cultivar and Biomass. His Agronomy study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Bioenergy. His Panicum virgatum study incorporates themes from Gene pool, Ecotype, Energy crop and Hardiness.

His studies in Lignin and Poaceae are all subfields of Botany research. In Cultivar, Michael D. Casler works on issues like Cool season, which are connected to Habit, Agrostis capillaris, Agrostis and Interspecific competition. The Biomass study which covers Biofuel that intersects with Raw material and Growing season.

His most cited work include:

  • Chemical composition and response to dilute-acid pretreatment and enzymatic saccharification of alfalfa, reed canarygrass, and switchgrass (418 citations)
  • Switchgrass as a biofuels feedstock in the USA (241 citations)
  • Latitudinal Adaptation of Switchgrass Populations (224 citations)

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

Michael D. Casler mainly focuses on Agronomy, Forage, Botany, Cultivar and Panicum virgatum. Agronomy connects with themes related to Biomass in his study. His work carried out in the field of Forage brings together such families of science as Dry matter, Selection, Fodder, Yield and Grazing.

His Botany research includes themes of Plant disease resistance and Horticulture. Michael D. Casler works mostly in the field of Panicum virgatum, limiting it down to topics relating to Ecotype and, in certain cases, Genetic marker, as a part of the same area of interest. His Ecology research incorporates elements of Gene pool, Gene flow, Genetic structure and Genetic diversity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (64.34%)
  • Forage (28.28%)
  • Botany (29.10%)

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

  • Agronomy (64.34%)
  • Panicum virgatum (22.54%)
  • Biomass (18.85%)

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

Agronomy, Panicum virgatum, Biomass, Ecotype and Plant ecology are his primary areas of study. His Agronomy and Cultivar, Anthesis, Crop yield, Growing season and Yield investigations all form part of his Agronomy research activities. In his study, Puccinia coronata, Genome, Linkage, Candidate gene and Selection is inextricably linked to Quantitative trait locus, which falls within the broad field of Cultivar.

His Panicum virgatum study introduces a deeper knowledge of Bioenergy. His Biomass study combines topics in areas such as Perennial plant, Andropogon and Genetic diversity. His Ecotype research includes elements of Genetic marker, Outcrossing, Fixation index and Pairwise comparison.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Breeding progress and preparedness for mass‐scale deployment of perennial lignocellulosic biomass crops switchgrass, miscanthus, willow and poplar (48 citations)
  • Extensive Genetic Diversity is Present within North American Switchgrass Germplasm (16 citations)
  • Extensive Genetic Diversity is Present within North American Switchgrass Germplasm (16 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Botany

Michael D. Casler focuses on Agronomy, Biomass, Panicum virgatum, Selection and Quantitative trait locus. His Agronomy research integrates issues from Genetic gain and Ecotype. His work carried out in the field of Biomass brings together such families of science as Adaptation and Gene pool, Gene flow, Genetic diversity.

His Panicum virgatum research is included under the broader classification of Ecology. His Selection research incorporates themes from Puccinia coronata, Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Genome and Linkage. His research investigates the link between Cultivar and topics such as Willow that cross with problems in Germplasm.
