Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Gene
Botany
Genetics

Thomas D. Warkentin mostly deals with Agronomy, Genetics, Cultivar, Botany and Horticulture. His Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Pisum and Micronutrient. His Cultivar research incorporates themes from Legume, Food science, Starch, Callus and Stamen.

His study on Wild species is often connected to Tissue culture as part of broader study in Botany. He is interested in Field pea, which is a field of Horticulture. His Field pea study is associated with Sativum.

His most cited work include:

Transgene copy number can be positively or negatively associated with transgene expression. (358 citations)
Pea Starch: Composition, Structure and Properties — A Review (283 citations)
Genetic diversity among varieties and wild species accessions of pea (Pisum sativum L.) based on molecular markers, and morphological and physiological characters. (136 citations)

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

Agronomy, Cultivar, Field pea, Sativum and Pisum are his primary areas of study. To a larger extent, Thomas D. Warkentin studies Botany with the aim of understanding Cultivar. His studies in Field pea integrate themes in fields like Genotype, Mycosphaerella and Starch.

He works mostly in the field of Sativum, limiting it down to concerns involving Cotyledon and, occasionally, Carotenoid. His Blight study which covers Plant disease resistance that intersects with Genetic marker. His Ascochyta research includes elements of Quantitative trait locus and Genetics.

He most often published in these fields:

Agronomy (49.19%)
Cultivar (42.74%)
Field pea (39.11%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

Sativum (33.06%)
Field pea (39.11%)
Agronomy (49.19%)

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

His primary areas of study are Sativum, Field pea, Agronomy, Food science and Single-nucleotide polymorphism. The Sativum study combines topics in areas such as Cultivar, Genetic linkage, Hay, Animal science and Forage. His research on Pisum and Horticulture is centered around Field pea.

His Agronomy research incorporates elements of Phosphorus and Genetic variation. Many of his research projects under Food science are closely connected to Quality with Quality, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His research investigates the link between Single-nucleotide polymorphism and topics such as Blight that cross with problems in Mycosphaerella.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

A reference genome for pea provides insight into legume genome evolution (86 citations)
Biofortification of Pulse Crops: Status and Future Perspectives. (27 citations)
Pollen, ovules, and pollination in pea: Success, failure, and resilience in heat (21 citations)

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

Gene
Botany
Genetics

Thomas D. Warkentin mainly focuses on Field pea, Horticulture, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Sativum and Food science. His study in Field pea is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Pollen tube and Stamen. The Single-nucleotide polymorphism study combines topics in areas such as Quantitative trait locus, Genetic linkage, Genetic diversity and Candidate gene.

He has included themes like Cultivar, Pisum and Mycosphaerella in his Sativum study. Pisum is often connected to Agronomy in his work. His study in the fields of Carotenoid under the domain of Food science overlaps with other disciplines such as Nut, Food composition data and Quality.
