Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

Botany, Ploidy, Genetics, Citrus × sinensis and Rutaceae are his primary areas of study. His studies deal with areas such as Phylogenetics and Genetic diversity as well as Botany. The study incorporates disciplines such as Plant genetics, Mitochondrial DNA, Domestication, Hybrid and Genotype in addition to Phylogenetics.

Patrick Ollitrault combines subjects such as Microarray, Plantlet and Physiology with his study of Ploidy. He focuses mostly in the field of Genetics, narrowing it down to topics relating to Citrus medica and, in certain cases, Rough lemon. His study in Citrus × sinensis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Genetic analysis, Gene expression and Pollen, Pollination.

His most cited work include:

  • Sequencing of diverse mandarin, pummelo and orange genomes reveals complex history of admixture during citrus domestication (337 citations)
  • Genomics of the origin and evolution of Citrus (187 citations)
  • Varietal and interspecific influence on micronutrient contents in citrus from the Mediterranean area. (155 citations)

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

Patrick Ollitrault spends much of his time researching Botany, Genetics, Ploidy, Hybrid and Horticulture. His Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Citrus × sinensis and Orange. Germplasm, Citrus medica and Evolutionary biology is closely connected to Genetic diversity in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Genetics.

His Ploidy research integrates issues from Pollen, Clementine, Chromosome, Somatic fusion and Protoplast. He works mostly in the field of Hybrid, limiting it down to concerns involving Loss of heterozygosity and, occasionally, Citrus macrophylla. His Microsatellite research incorporates elements of Genetic marker and Restriction fragment length polymorphism.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (46.91%)
  • Genetics (30.86%)
  • Ploidy (29.63%)

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

  • Hybrid (21.60%)
  • Genetics (30.86%)
  • Horticulture (19.75%)

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

Patrick Ollitrault focuses on Hybrid, Genetics, Horticulture, Botany and Ploidy. His research in Hybrid intersects with topics in Meiosis, Polyploid and Loss of heterozygosity. His study on Rootstock, Cultivar, Orange and Citrus reshni is often connected to Chloride as part of broader study in Horticulture.

Botany is closely attributed to Indel in his work. His work in Indel tackles topics such as Mitochondrial DNA which are related to areas like Microsatellite and Rutaceae. His Ploidy study combines topics in areas such as Somatic fusion and Clementine.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Sequencing of diverse mandarin, pummelo and orange genomes reveals complex history of admixture during citrus domestication (337 citations)
  • Genomics of the origin and evolution of Citrus (187 citations)
  • Phylogenetic origin of limes and lemons revealed by cytoplasmic and nuclear markers. (66 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

Patrick Ollitrault mainly investigates Genetics, Hybrid, Botany, Ploidy and Gamete. His Genetics research focuses on Chromosome and Genome. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Phylogenetics, Germplasm and Introgression.

Patrick Ollitrault combines subjects such as Citrus × sinensis, Plant genetics and Domestication with his study of Botany. His Citrus × sinensis research focuses on Phylogenomics and how it connects with Indel. In his research on the topic of Ploidy, Rootstock, Genus, Apomixis and Tangor is strongly related with Ovule.
