Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Agronomy

Ravi P. Singh mainly focuses on Plant disease resistance, Genetics, Agronomy, Cultivar and Stem rust. His Plant disease resistance study incorporates themes from Powdery mildew, Marker-assisted selection, Gene mapping, Conservation agriculture and Haplotype. His study looks at the relationship between Genetics and topics such as Botany, which overlap with Restriction fragment length polymorphism, Inheritance and Pleiotropy.

His studies in Agronomy integrate themes in fields like Plant genetics and Wheat leaf rust. His Cultivar research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Yield, Poaceae and Spring. The concepts of his Stem rust study are interwoven with issues in Chromosome regions and Virulence.

His most cited work include:

  • A Putative ABC Transporter Confers Durable Resistance to Multiple Fungal Pathogens in Wheat (802 citations)
  • Rust diseases of wheat: Concepts and methods of disease management (723 citations)
  • Prediction of Genetic Values of Quantitative Traits in Plant Breeding Using Pedigree and Molecular Markers (497 citations)

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

Agronomy, Germplasm, Plant disease resistance, Cultivar and Resistance are his primary areas of study. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Arid and Agronomy. Ravi P. Singh interconnects Hectare, Karnal bunt, Biotechnology and Selection in the investigation of issues within Germplasm.

As a part of the same scientific study, Ravi P. Singh usually deals with the Plant disease resistance, concentrating on Stem rust and frequently concerns with Puccinia. His Cultivar research incorporates elements of Race, Poaceae, Virulence and Seedling. His study in Resistance is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Stripe rust and Horticulture.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (48.28%)
  • Germplasm (21.89%)
  • Plant disease resistance (21.03%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Agronomy (48.28%)
  • Germplasm (21.89%)
  • Resistance (18.03%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Germplasm, Resistance, Arid and Yield. His research on Agronomy frequently links to adjacent areas such as Selection. His work deals with themes such as Hectare, Karnal bunt, Pyrenophora and Stem rust, which intersect with Germplasm.

His research links Plant disease resistance with Stem rust. His Crop research includes elements of Cropping, Replicate and Septoria. He works mostly in the field of Horticulture, limiting it down to topics relating to Quantitative trait locus and, in certain cases, Grain yield, as a part of the same area of interest.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Improving grain yield, stress resilience and quality of bread wheat using large-scale genomics. (54 citations)
  • Multiple wheat genomes reveal global variation in modern breeding. (41 citations)
  • Integrating genomic-enabled prediction and high-throughput phenotyping in breeding for climate-resilient bread wheat (32 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Agriculture

His main research concerns Quantitative trait locus, Agronomy, Grain yield, Germplasm and Plant breeding. His Quantitative trait locus study introduces a deeper knowledge of Genetics. The study of Agronomy is intertwined with the study of Biofortification in a number of ways.

Ravi P. Singh has included themes like Plant disease resistance, Allele and Resistance in his Germplasm study. His Plant disease resistance research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Genome, Biotechnology and Locus. Ravi P. Singh specializes in Resistance, namely Ug99.
