What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Gene (46.24%)
  • Genetics (47.31%)
  • Plant disease resistance (36.56%)

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

Robert McIntosh mainly focuses on Gene, Genetics, Plant disease resistance, Chromosome and Allele. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Rust and Cultivar. His Genetics research incorporates elements of Gene pool and Botany.

His Plant disease resistance study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Mutant, Doubled haploidy, Locus and Stem rust. His Chromosome study which covers Gene cluster that intersects with Nicotiana benthamiana, R gene and Blumeria graminis. His Allele research focuses on Wheat leaf rust and how it connects with Resistance, Necrosis, Genetic marker and Hybrid.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The wheat Sr50 gene reveals rich diversity at a cereal disease resistance locus. (93 citations)
  • BED-domain-containing immune receptors confer diverse resistance spectra to yellow rust. (71 citations)
  • Complementary resistance genes in wheat selection 'Avocet R' confer resistance to stripe rust. (29 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Genome

Robert McIntosh mainly investigates Gene, Genetics, Locus, Plant disease resistance and Virulence. Robert McIntosh works in the field of Gene, focusing on Genetic analysis in particular. His Locus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Evolutionary biology, Stripe rust and Plant breeding.

His work carried out in the field of Plant disease resistance brings together such families of science as Chromosomal translocation, Genetic linkage, Gene mapping, Avocet and Doubled haploidy. His study in Virulence is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Pathogen, Rust, Chromosome, Gene cluster and Haplotype. His Haplotype study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Complementation and Ug99, Stem rust.
