Overview

Rodomiro Ortiz is affiliated with the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Sweden and specializes primarily in Agricultural and Biological Sciences, with significant contributions also in Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology.

Their research spans various subfields, most notably Plant Science, Genetics, Molecular Biology, Food Science, and Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics. These focus areas are underscored by their work on key topics such as Genetic Mapping and Diversity in Plants and Animals, Genetics and Plant Breeding, Plant Pathogens and Resistance, Plant Disease Resistance and Genetics, Wheat and Barley Genetics and Pathology, Potato Plant Research, and Genetic and Environmental Crop Studies.

Rodomiro Ortiz's body of work has appeared consistently in several publication venues, with the most frequent outlets including Frontiers in Plant Science, Research Square, Preprints.org, Genes, and bioRxiv, contributing multiple papers to these journals.

Their recent published papers include:

  • "Genomic selection in plant breeding: Key factors shaping two decades of progress" (2024) published in Molecular Plant
  • "Plant Growth-Promoting Activity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa FG106 and Its Ability to Act as a Biocontrol Agent against Potato, Tomato and Taro Pathogens" (2022) published in Biology
  • "Nutrient-Dense Orange-Fleshed Sweetpotato: Advances in Drought-Tolerance Breeding and Understanding of Management Practices for Sustainable Next-Generation Cropping Systems in Sub-Saharan Africa" (2020) published in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
  • "Mitigating tradeoffs in plant breeding" (2021) published in iScience
  • "Oil crops for the future" (2020) published in Current Opinion in Plant Biology

They have collaborated frequently with a number of co-authors, including Mulatu Geleta, José Crossa, Ramesh R. Vetukuri, Nigel Maxted, and Danny Hunter, each contributing to numerous joint research projects.

In addition to journal articles, Rodomiro Ortiz has authored books published by Cambridge University Press and Editorial Comares eBooks. Notable titles include "Plant Genetic Conservation" (2020) and "ICONOGRAFÍA Y AUTORÍAS FEMENINAS Y QUEER" (2024).
