Overview

Patricia E. Klein is affiliated with Texas A&M University in the United States. Their research spans several areas within agricultural and biological sciences, with a particular focus on plant science, genetics, and molecular biology. The body of work includes significant contributions to genetic mapping and diversity in plants and animals, genetics and phenotypic traits in livestock, and genetics and plant breeding.

Their recent publications demonstrate engagement with diverse topics such as genome analysis, transcriptional responses to environmental stress, and genetic modification related to drought adaptation. Notable papers include:

  • A single polyploidization event at the origin of the tetraploid genome of Coffea arabica is responsible for the extremely low genetic variation in wild and cultivated germplasm (2020, Scientific Reports)
  • Four chromosome scale genomes and a pan-genome annotation to accelerate pecan tree breeding (2021, Nature Communications)
  • Elevated Temperatures Impose Transcriptional Constraints and Elicit Intraspecific Differences Between Coffee Genotypes (2020, Frontiers in Plant Science)
  • Assessing combining abilities, genomic data, and genotype × environment interactions to predict hybrid grain sorghum performance (2021, The Plant Genome)
  • Genetic modification of PIN genes induces causal mechanisms of stay-green drought adaptation phenotype (2022, Journal of Experimental Botany)
