Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

Pooran M. Gaur mainly investigates Agronomy, Genetics, Quantitative trait locus, Molecular breeding and Cultivar. His Crop, Plant breeding, Blight, Drought tolerance and Sowing investigations are all subjects of Agronomy research. His study looks at the intersection of Crop and topics like Germplasm with Phenology.

His Plant breeding research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Shoot, Salinity, Marker-assisted selection and Introgression. Pooran M. Gaur focuses mostly in the field of Quantitative trait locus, narrowing it down to topics relating to Gene mapping and, in certain cases, Genotyping Techniques and Genetic diversity. His Molecular breeding research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biotechnology, Genome and Candidate gene.

His most cited work include:

  • Draft genome sequence of chickpea ( Cicer arietinum ) provides a resource for trait improvement (697 citations)
  • Nutritional quality and health benefits of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.): a review. (405 citations)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Cultivar, Horticulture, Plant breeding and Quantitative trait locus. His study in Agronomy concentrates on Crop, Germplasm, Drought tolerance, Sowing and Blight. His Cultivar study also includes fields such as

  • Genetic variability which connect with Genetic variation,

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

Pooran M. Gaur spends much of his time researching Cultivar, Plant breeding, Horticulture, Plant physiology and Agronomy. His work carried out in the field of Cultivar brings together such families of science as Genetic gain, Fusarium wilt, Biplot and Backcrossing. His Plant breeding research incorporates elements of Molecular breeding, Agriculture, Agroforestry and Genomics.

In his study, Seedling, Genetic marker, Association mapping, Crop yield and Inbred strain is strongly linked to Epistasis, which falls under the umbrella field of Horticulture. His Plant physiology research includes elements of Yield, Point of delivery and Phenology. His study in the fields of Cool season under the domain of Agronomy overlaps with other disciplines such as Differential heat.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Resequencing of 429 chickpea accessions from 45 countries provides insights into genome diversity, domestication and agronomic traits. (64 citations)
  • Super Annigeri 1 and improved JG 74: two Fusarium wilt-resistant introgression lines developed using marker-assisted backcrossing approach in chickpea ( Cicer arietinum L.) (29 citations)
  • Integrated breeding approaches for improving drought and heat adaptation in chickpea ( Cicer arietinum L.) (18 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Agriculture
  • Botany

Pooran M. Gaur mainly focuses on Plant breeding, Cultivar, Molecular breeding, Backcrossing and Horticulture. The various areas that he examines in his Plant breeding study include Agroforestry, Agriculture, Genomics, Breeding program and Genetic gain. The subject of his Cultivar research is within the realm of Agronomy.

His Molecular breeding study incorporates themes from High yielding and Introgression. Pooran M. Gaur has researched Backcrossing in several fields, including Abiotic stress and Drought tolerance. In general Horticulture study, his work on Anthesis and photoperiodism often relates to the realm of Artificial light and Cycle time, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
