Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Gene
  • Statistics

Salvatore Ceccarelli mainly investigates Hordeum vulgare, Selection, Agronomy, Plant breeding and Poaceae. His Hordeum vulgare study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cultivar, Genetic diversity, Genetic variability, Gene–environment interaction and Heritability. His Selection research includes themes of Crop, Agriculture, Biotechnology, Agricultural science and Adaptation.

Salvatore Ceccarelli specializes in Agronomy, namely Drought tolerance. His Plant breeding study combines topics in areas such as Biodiversity, Chlorophyll fluorescence and Environmental resource management. The study incorporates disciplines such as Single plant, Biochemistry, Gene and Breeding program in addition to Poaceae.

His most cited work include:

  • Specific adaptation and breeding for marginal conditions (300 citations)
  • Differentially expressed genes between drought-tolerant and drought-sensitive barley genotypes in response to drought stress during the reproductive stage (278 citations)
  • Wide adaptation: How wide? (263 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Hordeum vulgare, Agronomy, Plant breeding, Selection and Germplasm. His Hordeum vulgare research includes elements of Genetics, Genetic diversity and Gene–environment interaction. His Gene–environment interaction research incorporates themes from Statistics and Heritability.

His Agronomy research integrates issues from Quantitative trait locus and Mediterranean Basin. The Plant breeding study combines topics in areas such as Agroforestry, Biodiversity, Breeding program and Agricultural science. His studies deal with areas such as Adaptation, Agriculture, Biotechnology and Environmental resource management as well as Selection.

  • Agronomy (41.04%)
  • Hordeum vulgare (47.76%)
  • Plant breeding (23.88%)

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

Salvatore Ceccarelli spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Hordeum vulgare, Plant breeding, Participatory plant breeding and Agroforestry. His Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Quantitative trait locus and Selection. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Genetics, Genetic diversity, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Genetic variation and Drought tolerance.

His Plant breeding research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Participatory action research, Biotechnology, Crop yield and Breeding program. His research in Participatory plant breeding intersects with topics in Drought resistance, Stress responsive genes and Agricultural science. He usually deals with Agroforestry and limits it to topics linked to Biodiversity and Climate change, Food security and Cost–benefit analysis.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Plant breeding and climate changes (200 citations)
  • Efficiency of Plant Breeding (89 citations)
  • Genome wide association analyses for drought tolerance related traits in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) (75 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Gene
  • Statistics

Germplasm, Agronomy, Hordeum vulgare, Genetics and Single-nucleotide polymorphism are his primary areas of study. His work carried out in the field of Germplasm brings together such families of science as Stress responsive genes, Participatory plant breeding, Quantitative trait locus, Drought resistance and Drought tolerance. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biplot and Mediterranean Basin.

His Hordeum vulgare study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Genetic variation. His studies in Linkage disequilibrium integrate themes in fields like Botany and Hordeum. His Animal breeding research focuses on Plant breeding and how it relates to Cultivar.
