Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Ecology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genetics, Allele, Outcrossing, Evolutionary biology and Inbreeding. His study brings together the fields of Habitat and Genetics. His work deals with themes such as Genetic marker, Avena barbata, Genetic linkage and Genotype, which intersect with Allele.

His Genetic marker research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Locus, Genetic variation and Mendelian inheritance. His study in Mendelian inheritance is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Hordeum vulgare and Spacer DNA, Ribosomal DNA. As part of one scientific family, R. W. Allard deals mainly with the area of Inbreeding, narrowing it down to issues related to the Selfing, and often Agronomy, Plant breeding, Intraspecific breeding, Domestication and Selective breeding.

His most cited work include:

  • Ribosomal DNA spacer-length polymorphisms in barley: mendelian inheritance, chromosomal location, and population dynamics. (4225 citations)
  • Principles of Plant Breeding (1027 citations)
  • Extraordinarily polymorphic microsatellite DNA in barley: species diversity, chromosomal locations, and population dynamics (602 citations)

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

R. W. Allard spends much of his time researching Genetics, Allele, Botany, Hordeum vulgare and Avena barbata. His Genetics study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Population genetics. His work in Allele addresses subjects such as Evolutionary biology, which are connected to disciplines such as Mating system.

In Hordeum vulgare, R. W. Allard works on issues like Gene, which are connected to Pollen. In his study, Peroxidase and Inbreeding is inextricably linked to Esterase, which falls within the broad field of Avena barbata. The study incorporates disciplines such as Genetic marker, Ecotype, Isozyme and Ribosomal DNA in addition to Genetic variation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (61.46%)
  • Allele (27.08%)
  • Botany (21.87%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1984-2008)?

  • Genetics (61.46%)
  • Hordeum vulgare (21.87%)
  • Botany (21.87%)

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

R. W. Allard mostly deals with Genetics, Hordeum vulgare, Botany, Population genetics and Allele. As part of his studies on Genetics, R. W. Allard often connects relevant subjects like Avena barbata. His Hordeum vulgare study deals with Gene intersecting with Race.

R. W. Allard has included themes like Esterase and Outbreeding depression in his Botany study. His research in Allele intersects with topics in Epistasis, Selfing, Quantitative trait locus and Mendelian inheritance. His work carried out in the field of Genetic variation brings together such families of science as Genetic diversity and Ribosomal DNA.

Between 1984 and 2008, his most popular works were:

  • Extraordinarily polymorphic microsatellite DNA in barley: species diversity, chromosomal locations, and population dynamics (602 citations)
  • Chloroplast DNA polymorphisms in lodgepole and jack pines and their hybrids (368 citations)
  • Genetic Changes Associated with the Evolution of Adaptedness in Cultivated Plants and Their Wild Progenitors (242 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Ecology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Population genetics, Genetic variation, Allele and Genetic variability. He works on Genetics which deals in particular with Restriction fragment length polymorphism. His Population genetics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Pathogen and Hordeum vulgare.

R. W. Allard has researched Hordeum vulgare in several fields, including Lineage and Phylogenetic tree. He interconnects Rhynchosporium secalis and Ribosomal DNA in the investigation of issues within Genetic variation. His Allele research includes themes of Genetic marker, Inbreeding, Selfing and Locus.
