  • Starch (16.45%)

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

Pierre Hucl mainly investigates Cultivar, Food science, Starch, Horticulture and Fusarium. His Cultivar study deals with the bigger picture of Agronomy. His study in the fields of Salt reduction under the domain of Food science overlaps with other disciplines such as Glutenin.

His Starch study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Hairless and Endosperm. His work carried out in the field of Horticulture brings together such families of science as Low salt and Genotype. His Fusarium research integrates issues from Veterinary medicine, Mycotoxin, Inoculation and Common wheat.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Exome sequencing highlights the role of wild-relative introgression in shaping the adaptive landscape of the wheat genome (75 citations)
  • Compositional and antioxidant properties of anthocyanin-rich products prepared from purple wheat. (44 citations)
  • Multiple wheat genomes reveal global variation in modern breeding. (41 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

Pierre Hucl mainly focuses on Food science, Introgression, Cultivar, Starch and Agronomy. His Food science research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Salt, Biotechnology, Sodium reduction and Dietary Sodium. His research in Introgression intersects with topics in Evolutionary biology, Crop quality, Genome, Allele and Genetic variation.

He has researched Cultivar in several fields, including Digestive tract, Polysaccharide, Amylose, In vitro model and Digestion. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Hairless, Spreadability and Sucrose. His work on Triticale, Wheat diseases and Stem rust as part of his general Agronomy study is frequently connected to Wheat streak mosaic virus and Context, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.
