Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Agriculture

His main research concerns Agronomy, Biotechnology, Zinc, Biofortification and Nutrient. His Agronomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Soil water and Oryza sativa. His work carried out in the field of Biotechnology brings together such families of science as Ecology, Agriculture, Food systems, Nutrient stress and Marker-assisted selection.

His study in Zinc is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Poaceae and Shoot. His Shoot research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Dry matter and Manganese. His studies deal with areas such as Selenium and Horticulture as well as Nutrient.

His most cited work include:

  • Breeding for micronutrients in staple food crops from a human nutrition perspective (990 citations)
  • A new paradigm for world agriculture: meeting human needs: Productive, sustainable, nutritious (460 citations)
  • Breeding for micronutrient density in edible portions of staple food crops: conventional approaches (438 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Horticulture, Botany, Shoot and Poaceae. His Agronomy research includes themes of Soil water and Zinc. His Horticulture study also includes

  • Manganese that intertwine with fields like Calcareous,
  • Triticale most often made with reference to Copper.

In his study, Germplasm is inextricably linked to Genetic variability, which falls within the broad field of Botany. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Dry matter, Genotype, Brassica, Nutrient and Seedling. He interconnects Agriculture, Food systems and Malnutrition in the investigation of issues within Biotechnology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (43.93%)
  • Horticulture (31.21%)
  • Botany (26.59%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2018)?

  • Agronomy (43.93%)
  • Zinc (24.28%)
  • Plant breeding (11.56%)

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

Robin D. Graham focuses on Agronomy, Zinc, Plant breeding, Biofortification and Horticulture. The concepts of his Agronomy study are interwoven with issues in Zinc deficiency, Plant nutrition and Nutrient. The various areas that Robin D. Graham examines in his Plant breeding study include Quantitative trait locus, Grain yield, Genetic variation and Crop yield.

His work carried out in the field of Biofortification brings together such families of science as Biotechnology, Food science, Selenium and Dithizone. Robin D. Graham has included themes like Human nutrition and Micronucleus test in his Biotechnology study. His studies deal with areas such as Reducing sugar and Molybdenum as well as Horticulture.

Between 2006 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Nutritious subsistence food systems (321 citations)
  • Quantitative trait loci for phytate in rice grain and their relationship with grain micronutrient content (164 citations)
  • Micronutrients and Disease Resistance and Tolerance in Plants (151 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Agriculture

Agronomy, Biofortification, Plant breeding, Zinc and Quantitative trait locus are his primary areas of study. His Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Oryza sativa and Plant nutrition. As part of his studies on Biofortification, he often connects relevant subjects like Biotechnology.

In his research, Selenium, Nutrient and Essential nutrient is intimately related to Food processing, which falls under the overarching field of Biotechnology. As part of the same scientific family, Robin D. Graham usually focuses on Plant breeding, concentrating on Genetic variation and intersecting with Yield, Crop yield and Grain yield. The concepts of his Quantitative trait locus study are interwoven with issues in Phaseolus and Oryza.
