Rients E. Niks

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Gene
• Botany
• Genetics

Genetics, Quantitative trait locus, Puccinia hordei, Plant disease resistance and Hordeum vulgare are his primary areas of study. Genetics connects with themes related to Botany in his study. Rients E. Niks has researched Botany in several fields, including Haustorium, Wheat leaf rust, Resistance, Gene and Hypersensitive response.

His Quantitative trait locus research focuses on Amplified fragment length polymorphism and how it relates to Genetic linkage, Marker-assisted selection, Linkage Disequilibrium Mapping and Linkage disequilibrium. His research in Plant disease resistance intersects with topics in Hybrid, Powdery mildew, Doubled haploidy and Candidate gene. His studies in Hordeum vulgare integrate themes in fields like Puccinia, Cultivar and Gene mapping.

His most cited work include:

• Linkage disequilibrium mapping of yield and yield stability in modern spring barley cultivars. (378 citations)
• A high density barley microsatellite consensus map with 775 SSR loci (272 citations)
• Identification of QTLs for partial resistance to leaf rust (Puccinia hordei ) in barley (163 citations)

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

Rients E. Niks mainly investigates Botany, Genetics, Puccinia hordei, Plant disease resistance and Hordeum vulgare. His Botany research includes themes of Haustorium and Resistance. His work focuses on many connections between Genetics and other disciplines, such as Lactuca saligna, that overlap with his field of interest in Backcrossing, Inbred strain, Introgression and Hybrid.

Within one scientific family, Rients E. Niks focuses on topics pertaining to Inoculation under Puccinia hordei, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Microbiology. Rients E. Niks combines subjects such as Lactuca, Bremia lactucae, Host and Gene mapping with his study of Plant disease resistance. His research investigates the connection between Quantitative trait locus and topics such as Amplified fragment length polymorphism that intersect with problems in Genetic linkage.

He most often published in these fields:

• Botany (49.69%)
• Genetics (34.78%)
• Puccinia hordei (34.16%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2019)?

• Genetics (34.78%)
• Plant disease resistance (31.68%)
• Hordeum vulgare (26.71%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genetics, Plant disease resistance, Hordeum vulgare, Quantitative trait locus and Lactuca. His Genetics study incorporates themes from Powdery mildew and Puccinia. The various areas that he examines in his Plant disease resistance study include Locus, Botany and Hordeum.

His studies examine the connections between Botany and genetics, as well as such issues in Gene, with regards to Puccinia coronata. His research investigates the link between Hordeum vulgare and topics such as Cultivar that cross with problems in Intensive farming, Indirect selection and Organic farming. His Quantitative trait locus course of study focuses on Chromosome and Grain quality, Phenotype, Germination, Shrivelling and Elymus repens.

Between 2014 and 2019, his most popular works were:

• Quantitative resistance to biotrophic filamentous plant pathogens: concepts, misconceptions, and mechanisms. (102 citations)
• Potential for re-emergence of wheat stem rust in the United Kingdom. (35 citations)
• The barley (Hordeum vulgare) cellulose synthase-like D2 gene (HvCslD2) mediates penetration resistance to host-adapted and nonhost isolates of the powdery mildew fungus (32 citations)

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

• Gene
• Botany
• Genetics

Rients E. Niks spends much of his time researching Hordeum vulgare, Plant disease resistance, Genetics, Agronomy and Effector. The Hordeum vulgare study combines topics in areas such as Powdery mildew and Blumeria graminis. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Haustorium, Ascomycota, Quantitative trait locus, Conidium and Hordeum.

Plant disease resistance and Botany are commonly linked in his work. His work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as Hypersensitive response and R gene. The concepts of his Agronomy study are interwoven with issues in Inoculation, Host, Fungal pathogen and Puccinia.
