Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

Shahal Abbo mainly investigates Cultivar, Domestication, Botany, Agronomy and Adaptation. His Cultivar study incorporates themes from Germplasm and Germination. Shahal Abbo combines topics linked to Agriculture with his work on Domestication.

His studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like Habitat, Resistance and Horticulture. His work in the fields of Poaceae and Phenology overlaps with other areas such as Water content. His Adaptation research integrates issues from Crop, Genomics of domestication, Cropping, Genetic model and Plant evolution.

His most cited work include:

  • Rapid Elimination of Low-Copy DNA Sequences in Polyploid Wheat: A Possible Mechanism for Differentiation of Homoeologous Chromosomes (403 citations)
  • The Cradle of Agriculture (386 citations)
  • Modified CTAB Procedure for DNA Isolation from Epiphytic Cacti of the Genera Hylocereus and Selenicereus (Cactaceae) (239 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Domestication, Botany, Agronomy, Cultivar and Genetics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Gene pool, Agriculture, Crop and Taxon. His Agriculture study deals with Crop yield intersecting with Plant ecology.

His study in the field of Hybrid, Ascochyta and Hylocereus is also linked to topics like Didymella rabiei. His Cultivar research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Plant breeding, Germplasm and Sowing. His studies deal with areas such as Triticum urartu, Molecular biology and Polyploid as well as Chromosome.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Domestication (37.86%)
  • Botany (33.01%)
  • Agronomy (27.18%)

  • Domestication (37.86%)
  • Botany (33.01%)
  • Agronomy (27.18%)

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

Shahal Abbo mainly focuses on Domestication, Botany, Agronomy, Ecology and Crop. Shahal Abbo combines subjects such as Gene pool, Genealogy, Inbred strain and Taxon with his study of Domestication. In the subject of general Botany, his work in Pisum, Genus, Trigonella and Wild species is often linked to Logical approach, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

Grain yield and Cultivar are among the areas of Agronomy where the researcher is concentrating his efforts. His research in the fields of Arable land overlaps with other disciplines such as Research community, Convergent evolution, Unconscious mind and Common denominator. The various areas that Shahal Abbo examines in his Crop study include Plant science and Biological evolution.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Plant domestication versus crop evolution: a conceptual framework for cereals and grain legumes. (166 citations)
  • On the ‘lost’ crops of the neolithic Near East (39 citations)
  • The potential use of chickpeas in development of infant follow-on formula (27 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

His primary areas of investigation include Domestication, Ecology, Agronomy, Crop and Convergent evolution. His research on Domestication often connects related topics like Ecosystem. His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Gene pool, Biological evolution and Plant science.

His research in Agronomy is mostly concerned with Cultivar. His Crop study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Taxon, Agriculture, Poaceae and Habitat. Among his research on Convergent evolution, you can see a combination of other fields of science like Unconscious mind, Common denominator, Experimental work and Legume crops.
