Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Virus

Roger A. C. Jones mainly investigates Plant virus, Agronomy, Virology, Horticulture and Bean yellow mosaic virus. His Plant virus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Disease management, Cultivar, Botany and Ecology. His Cucumber mosaic virus research extends to Agronomy, which is thematically connected.

His work on Virus as part of general Virology research is often related to Data retrieval and Decision support system, thus linking different fields of science. His work on Inoculation is typically connected to Western flower thrips as part of general Horticulture study, connecting several disciplines of science. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Legume, Sativum, Comparative genomics, DNA sequencing and Metagenomics.

His most cited work include:

  • Global status of tospovirus epidemics in diverse cropping systems: successes achieved and challenges ahead. (373 citations)
  • Plant virus emergence and evolution: origins, new encounter scenarios, factors driving emergence, effects of changing world conditions, and prospects for control. (225 citations)
  • Discussion paper: The naming of Potato virus Y strains infecting potato (212 citations)

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

Roger A. C. Jones mainly investigates Agronomy, Plant virus, Botany, Horticulture and Virus. His studies in Plant virus integrate themes in fields like Plant disease resistance and Ecology. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Veterinary medicine and Medicago truncatula.

In his work, Lupinus angustifolius and Alfalfa mosaic virus is strongly intertwined with Cucumber mosaic virus, which is a subfield of Horticulture. Virology covers Roger A. C. Jones research in Virus. His Virology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as RNA and Genome.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (33.05%)
  • Plant virus (32.77%)
  • Botany (29.13%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Genome (17.93%)
  • Genetics (17.65%)
  • Virus (25.21%)

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

Roger A. C. Jones spends much of his time researching Genome, Genetics, Virus, Virology and Plant virus. His study in Genome is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both RNA and Sequence. His Virology study which covers Arracacia xanthorrhiza that intersects with Oxalis tuberosa and Intraspecific competition.

His research integrates issues of Molecular diagnostic techniques and Food security in his study of Plant virus. The various areas that Roger A. C. Jones examines in his Potato virus Y study include Solanum, Botany and Gene. The subject of his Aphid research is within the realm of Agronomy.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus: Rapidly Increasing Global Distribution, Etiology, Epidemiology, and Management (42 citations)
  • Global Dimensions of Plant Virus Diseases: Current Status and Future Perspectives (26 citations)
  • The phylogenetics of the global population of potato virus Y and its necrogenic recombinants. (26 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Virus

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Potato virus Y, Crop, Genome and Phylogenetics. His Botany research includes themes of GenBank and Vector. His work deals with themes such as Brassica, Brassicaceae, Strain and Cultivar, which intersect with Crop.

In his research on the topic of Genome, Zucchini yellow mosaic virus and Nucleic acid sequence is strongly related with Phylogenetic tree. His work in Potyvirus addresses subjects such as Host, which are connected to disciplines such as Virus and Plant virus. Roger A. C. Jones works mostly in the field of Virus, limiting it down to topics relating to Veterinary medicine and, in certain cases, Virology.
