Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

Genetics, Food science, Quantitative trait locus, Genetic marker and Botany are his primary areas of study. His study in Genetics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cucumis and Amplified fragment length polymorphism. His work carried out in the field of Food science brings together such families of science as Legume, Biochemistry and Polyphenol.

In Genetic marker, he works on issues like Locus, which are connected to Genetic diversity, Phenotypic trait, Shotgun sequencing and Molecular probe. The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Genome evolution, Reproduction, Whole genome sequencing and Sequence assembly. His work deals with themes such as Computational biology and DNA sequencing, which intersect with Microsatellite.

His most cited work include:

  • Using next-generation sequencing approaches to isolate simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci in the plant sciences (327 citations)
  • Using next-generation sequencing approaches to isolate simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci in the plant sciences (327 citations)
  • Genome-wide characterization of simple sequence repeats in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) (239 citations)

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

Philipp W. Simon focuses on Botany, Daucus carota, Genetics, Horticulture and Carotenoid. His Botany study frequently links to related topics such as Subspecies. His Daucus carota research incorporates elements of Diallel cross, Biochemistry, Anthocyanin and Cultivar.

His work in Genetics addresses issues such as Amplified fragment length polymorphism, which are connected to fields such as Dendrogram. In his research on the topic of Carotenoid, Cucumis is strongly related with Orange. His studies in Genetic marker integrate themes in fields like Microsatellite and Gene mapping.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (40.42%)
  • Daucus carota (33.80%)
  • Genetics (28.92%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Daucus carota (33.80%)
  • Botany (40.42%)
  • Germplasm (13.59%)

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

Philipp W. Simon mainly investigates Daucus carota, Botany, Germplasm, Genetics and Daucus. His Daucus carota research integrates issues from Gene, Diallel cross, Anthocyanin and Shoot. The concepts of his Germplasm study are interwoven with issues in Bay, Archaeology, Biotechnology, Resistance and Blight.

His Carotenoid research extends to Genetics, which is thematically connected. His Daucus research incorporates themes from Phylogenetic tree, Phylogenetics, Genus, Taxonomy and Apiaceae. His Phylogenetics study combines topics in areas such as DNA sequencing, Plastid and Mitochondrial DNA.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Sustaining the Future of Plant Breeding: The Critical Role of the USDA-ARS National Plant Germplasm System (37 citations)
  • Entire plastid phylogeny of the carrot genus (Daucus, Apiaceae): Concordance with nuclear data and mitochondrial and nuclear DNA insertions to the plastid (29 citations)
  • Characterization of a Genomic Region under Selection in Cultivated Carrot ( Daucus carota subsp. sativus) Reveals a Candidate Domestication Gene (28 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Philipp W. Simon spends much of his time researching Daucus carota, Botany, Plant breeding, Quantitative trait locus and Gene. His Daucus carota research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Subspecies and Petiole. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of MYB, Genotyping by sequencing and Locus.

His biological study deals with issues like Transcriptome, which deal with fields such as Gene family. His Gene study is related to the wider topic of Genetics. His specific area of interest is Genetics, where Philipp W. Simon studies Genome.
