Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Botany

Robert F. Park mostly deals with Botany, Stem rust, Agronomy, Cultivar and Genetics. Robert F. Park interconnects Thinopyrum ponticum, Chromosome and Chromosomal translocation in the investigation of issues within Botany. The Stem rust study combines topics in areas such as Amplified fragment length polymorphism, Puccinia and Virulence.

While the research belongs to areas of Agronomy, Robert F. Park spends his time largely on the problem of Agriculture, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Resource and Sustainability. His Cultivar research includes elements of Host, Poaceae, Allele and Genotype. In Genetics, Robert F. Park works on issues like Hordeum vulgare, which are connected to Doubled haploidy.

His most cited work include:

  • Wheat Rusts: An Atlas of Resistance Genes (857 citations)
  • Obligate biotrophy features unraveled by the genomic analysis of rust fungi (456 citations)
  • Speed breeding is a powerful tool to accelerate crop research and breeding (266 citations)

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

Robert F. Park spends much of his time researching Botany, Genetics, Gene, Stem rust and Cultivar. Genetic linkage is closely connected to Plant disease resistance in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Botany. In his research, Doubled haploidy and Quantitative trait locus is intimately related to Hordeum vulgare, which falls under the overarching field of Genetics.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Genetic marker, Biotechnology, Puccinia and Race. His Cultivar study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Poaceae, Resistance and Seedling. His work in Virulence addresses issues such as Pathogen, which are connected to fields such as Rust.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (40.85%)
  • Genetics (38.50%)
  • Gene (32.86%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Genetics (38.50%)
  • Gene (32.86%)
  • Stem rust (24.88%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Gene, Stem rust, Puccinia hordei and Genome. His biological study deals with issues like Resistance, which deal with fields such as Horticulture and Quantitative trait locus. His Stem rust study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Botany.

His work carried out in the field of Puccinia hordei brings together such families of science as Germplasm and Genotype. His Candidate gene study combines topics in areas such as Plant disease resistance and Sequence analysis. His research integrates issues of Genetic recombination, Agronomy, Stripe rust, Synteny and Mitotic crossover in his study of Wheat leaf rust.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Speed breeding is a powerful tool to accelerate crop research and breeding (266 citations)
  • A Near-Complete Haplotype-Phased Genome of the Dikaryotic Wheat Stripe Rust Fungus Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici Reveals High Interhaplotype Diversity (44 citations)
  • Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae: a threat to global oat production (29 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Genome

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Gene, Hordeum vulgare, Plant disease resistance and Puccinia. Robert F. Park frequently studies issues relating to Resistance and Genetics. Hordeum vulgare is the subject of his research, which falls under Agronomy.

His Plant disease resistance research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Quantitative trait locus and Locus. His specific area of interest is Puccinia, where he studies Ug99. As part of one scientific family, Robert F. Park deals mainly with the area of Genetic marker, narrowing it down to issues related to the Stem rust, and often Urediniospore.
