Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Amaranthus tuberculatus, Weed, Acetolactate synthase, Atrazine and Agronomy. His Amaranthus tuberculatus study combines topics in areas such as Glyphosate, Mesotrione and Protoporphyrinogen oxidase. Patrick J. Tranel has included themes like Weed control, Resistance and Genomics in his Weed study.

His study in Resistance is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biotechnology and Herbicide resistance. His research in Acetolactate synthase focuses on subjects like Cross-resistance, which are connected to Pesticide resistance, Herbaceous plant, Asparagine and Amaranthaceae. A large part of his Botany studies is devoted to Amaranthus palmeri.

His most cited work include:

  • Resistance of weeds to ALS-inhibiting herbicides: what have we learned? (683 citations)
  • Gene amplification confers glyphosate resistance in Amaranthus palmeri (465 citations)
  • Non-target-site herbicide resistance: a family business (332 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Amaranthus tuberculatus, Botany, Weed, Genetics and Agronomy. Patrick J. Tranel has included themes like Atrazine, Glyphosate, Amaranthus palmeri, Lactofen and Protoporphyrinogen oxidase in his Amaranthus tuberculatus study. His Glyphosate course of study focuses on Resistance and Herbicide resistance and Biotechnology.

His work deals with themes such as Pesticide resistance, Horticulture and Acetolactate synthase, which intersect with Botany. His Acetolactate synthase research incorporates elements of Enzyme assay and Cross-resistance, Microbiology. Patrick J. Tranel combines subjects such as Weed control and Pollen with his study of Weed.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Amaranthus tuberculatus (46.10%)
  • Botany (31.91%)
  • Weed (28.37%)

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

  • Amaranthus tuberculatus (46.10%)
  • Genetics (27.66%)
  • Amaranthus palmeri (12.77%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Amaranthus tuberculatus, Genetics, Amaranthus palmeri, Gene and Protoporphyrinogen oxidase. His research in Amaranthus tuberculatus intersects with topics in Evolutionary biology, Resistance, Allele, Adaptation and Glyphosate. His study in Mutant and Acetolactate synthase are all subfields of Genetics.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Mutation and Pesticide resistance in addition to Amaranthus palmeri. His Protoporphyrinogen oxidase research integrates issues from Sorghum, Association mapping and Horticulture. His research in Agronomy is mostly focused on Weed.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Mechanisms of evolved herbicide resistance (44 citations)
  • Multiple modes of convergent adaptation in the spread of glyphosate-resistant Amaranthus tuberculatus. (40 citations)
  • Metabolism of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid contributes to resistance in a common waterhemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus) population. (35 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

His main research concerns Amaranthus tuberculatus, Gene, Genetics, Protoporphyrinogen oxidase and Auxin. He has researched Amaranthus tuberculatus in several fields, including Resistance, Cytochrome P450, Malathion and Gene flow, Genetic variation. His studies in Genetics integrate themes in fields like Biochemistry and Amaranthus palmeri.

Patrick J. Tranel works mostly in the field of Protoporphyrinogen oxidase, limiting it down to topics relating to Atrazine and, in certain cases, Biotechnology, Horticulture and Photosystem II, as a part of the same area of interest. His work on Glyphosate as part of general Biotechnology research is frequently linked to Mechanism, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Auxin research includes elements of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, Botany, Chromosomal translocation, Growth inhibition and Acetolactate synthase.
