Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Botany

Thomas Miedaner focuses on Agronomy, Fusarium, Fusarium culmorum, Quantitative trait locus and Cultivar. His research integrates issues of Plant disease resistance, Dwarfing and Genetic architecture in his study of Agronomy. His Fusarium study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Mycotoxin, Poaceae, Genotype and Genetic variation.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Poaceae, Vomitoxin and Inoculation is strongly linked to Fungi imperfecti. Thomas Miedaner interconnects Genetic variability, Population genetics and Gene–environment interaction in the investigation of issues within Fusarium culmorum. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Genetic marker, Grain quality, Allele and Genetic linkage.

His most cited work include:

  • A European Database of Fusarium graminearum and F. culmorum Trichothecene Genotypes (1262 citations)
  • Developments in breeding cereals for organic agriculture (281 citations)
  • Molecular mapping of QTLs for Fusarium head blight resistance in spring wheat. II. Resistance to fungal penetration and spread (256 citations)

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

Agronomy, Fusarium, Quantitative trait locus, Fusarium culmorum and Genetics are his primary areas of study. Thomas Miedaner combines subjects such as Inoculation and Genetic variation with his study of Agronomy. His studies in Fusarium integrate themes in fields like Mycotoxin, Resistance and Genotype.

His Mycotoxin study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Host and Animal science. His Quantitative trait locus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Plant disease resistance, Association mapping, Gibberella and Septoria. His Fusarium culmorum study incorporates themes from Genetic variability, Triticale, Foot rot and Population genetics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (47.81%)
  • Fusarium (38.16%)
  • Quantitative trait locus (29.82%)

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

  • Quantitative trait locus (29.82%)
  • Fusarium (38.16%)
  • Resistance (13.60%)

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

Thomas Miedaner spends much of his time researching Quantitative trait locus, Fusarium, Resistance, Agronomy and Genotype. The Quantitative trait locus study combines topics in areas such as Association mapping, Cultivar and Genetic variation. His study in Fusarium is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Mycotoxin, Genome-wide association study and Genomics.

His study in the fields of Secale, Snow mold, Germplasm and Yield under the domain of Agronomy overlaps with other disciplines such as German. His Genotype research incorporates themes from Inoculation and Horticulture. The Head blight study which covers Fusarium culmorum that intersects with Triticale, Host and Contamination.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Genomic prediction and GWAS of Gibberella ear rot resistance traits in dent and flint lines of a public maize breeding program (22 citations)
  • Accuracy of within- and among-family genomic prediction for Fusarium head blight and Septoria tritici blotch in winter wheat (16 citations)
  • Genomics-assisted breeding for ear rot resistances and reduced mycotoxin contamination in maize: methods, advances and prospects. (14 citations)
