Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agronomy

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Cultivar, Oryza sativa, Transpiration and Ecology. His Agronomy research includes elements of Upland rice and Specific leaf area. The Cultivar study combines topics in areas such as Photosynthesis, Sorghum and Yield.

The concepts of his Oryza sativa study are interwoven with issues in Agricultural engineering, Plant growth and Carbohydrate storage. As a part of the same scientific family, Michaël Dingkuhn mostly works in the field of Transpiration, focusing on Canopy and, on occasion, Soil water, Vapour Pressure Deficit, Evapotranspiration and Interception. The Phenotypic plasticity research he does as part of his general Ecology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Plant models, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

His most cited work include:

  • Agriculture: Feeding the future (333 citations)
  • Agriculture: Feeding the future (333 citations)
  • Interspecific Oryza Sativa L. X O. Glaberrima Steud. progenies in upland rice improvement (288 citations)

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

Michaël Dingkuhn focuses on Agronomy, Oryza sativa, Panicle, Horticulture and Botany. His work in Agronomy tackles topics such as Upland rice which are related to areas like Specific leaf area and Stomatal conductance. In general Oryza sativa study, his work on Oryza glaberrima often relates to the realm of Phenomics, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

As part of one scientific family, Michaël Dingkuhn deals mainly with the area of Panicle, narrowing it down to issues related to the Anthesis, and often Transpiration. His Botany research incorporates elements of Oryza, Animal science and Phenotypic plasticity. His work in Sowing addresses issues such as Agriculture, which are connected to fields such as Agroforestry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (56.71%)
  • Oryza sativa (26.41%)
  • Panicle (19.48%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Agronomy (56.71%)
  • Panicle (19.48%)
  • Oryza sativa (26.41%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Panicle, Oryza sativa, Quantitative trait locus and Horticulture. His research integrates issues of Transpiration and Phenotypic plasticity in his study of Agronomy. His Panicle research integrates issues from Leaf size, Cultivar, Anthesis and Greenhouse.

He has researched Oryza sativa in several fields, including Sowing, Germplasm and Candidate gene. His research in Quantitative trait locus intersects with topics in Oryza and Cold acclimation. His Horticulture study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Scale and Plot.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Phenotypic and genetic dissection of component traits for early vigour in rice using plant growth modelling, sugar content analyses and association mapping (46 citations)
  • Improving yield potential of tropical rice: Achieved levels and perspectives through improved ideotypes (46 citations)
  • Genetic Control of Plasticity in Root Morphology and Anatomy of Rice in Response to Water Deficit. (45 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agriculture

Michaël Dingkuhn spends much of his time researching Oryza sativa, Agronomy, Panicle, Quantitative trait locus and Oryza. His work carried out in the field of Oryza sativa brings together such families of science as Cropping, Germplasm, Horticulture and Candidate gene. His studies in Horticulture integrate themes in fields like Photosynthesis, Sink and Phosphate.

His study in Plant morphology, Leaf size, Cropping system, Multiple cropping and Crop rotation falls within the category of Agronomy. His work deals with themes such as Association mapping and Phenotypic plasticity, which intersect with Oryza. His study in Genome-wide association study is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Inflorescence, Biotechnology, Molecular breeding and Genetic diversity.
