Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Botany
Gene
Agriculture

Paul W. Bosland mainly investigates Botany, Pepper, Pungency, Horticulture and Dihydrocapsaicin. Paul W. Bosland works in the field of Botany, namely Cultivar. His Pepper research integrates issues from Phytophthora, Solanaceae, Blight and Root rot.

His work in Solanaceae addresses subjects such as Reference genome, which are connected to disciplines such as Whole genome sequencing. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Pungency, Introgression, RAPD and Interspecific competition is strongly linked to Capsicum chinense. His work on Cultural methods, Peppers and Crop yield as part of general Horticulture research is frequently linked to Production quality and Genetic resources, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His most cited work include:

Genome sequence of the hot pepper provides insights into the evolution of pungency in Capsicum species (507 citations)
Whole-genome sequencing of cultivated and wild peppers provides insights into Capsicum domestication and specialization (378 citations)
Peppers: Vegetable and Spice Capsicums (368 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Horticulture, Pepper, Botany, Cultivar and Capsicum annuum. His Horticulture research includes elements of Resistance and Solanaceae. Paul W. Bosland focuses mostly in the field of Pepper, narrowing it down to matters related to Phytophthora and, in some cases, Plant disease resistance.

His research in the fields of Germplasm overlaps with other disciplines such as Heating energy. His Cultivar study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Heirloom plant and Ornamental plant. His Pungency research includes themes of Capsicum chinense, Dihydrocapsaicin and Capsaicinoid.

He most often published in these fields:

Horticulture (47.66%)
Pepper (45.31%)
Botany (35.94%)

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

Pepper (45.31%)
Horticulture (47.66%)
Biotechnology (5.47%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Pepper, Horticulture, Biotechnology, Capsaicinoid and Genetics. His Pepper study combines topics in areas such as Fertility, Agronomy, Resistance, Hybrid and Identification. His research integrates issues of Lutein and Agriculture in his study of Horticulture.

His study on Biotechnology also encompasses disciplines like

Pathosystem together with Plant disease resistance, Race, Phytophthora and Population structure,
Phytophthora capsici together with Host, Capsicum annuum and Breeding program. His Capsaicinoid research is multidisciplinary, relying on both CAPSICUM SPP., Capsicum chinense, Cultivar and Pungency. Paul W. Bosland interconnects Anthesis, Dihydrocapsaicin and Orange in the investigation of issues within Pungency.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Challenges and Strategies for Breeding Resistance in Capsicum annuum to the Multifarious Pathogen, Phytophthora capsici (21 citations)
Influence of water stresses on capsaicinoid production in hot pepper (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) cultivars with different pungency levels. (19 citations)
Evaluation of the effect of genotype-by-environment interaction on capsaicinoid production in hot pepper hybrids (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) under controlled environment (12 citations)
