Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study Torbert Rocheford is best known for:

Genetics
Gene
Carotenoid

In his research on the topic of Machine learning, Artificial intelligence is strongly related with Selection (genetic algorithm). His research brings together the fields of Selection (genetic algorithm) and Artificial intelligence. He combines Gene and Domestication in his research. While working on this project, Torbert Rocheford studies both Domestication and Gene. His Genetics study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Inbred strain. His study brings together the fields of Genetics and Inbred strain. He undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Quantitative trait locus and Candidate gene through his works. Candidate gene and Quantitative trait locus are two areas of study in which he engages in interdisciplinary research. He connects Genetic architecture with Evolutionary biology in his research.

His most cited work include:

The Genetic Architecture of Maize Flowering Time (1239 citations)
Genome-wide association study of leaf architecture in the maize nested association mapping population (859 citations)
Natural Genetic Variation in Lycopene Epsilon Cyclase Tapped for Maize Biofortification (667 citations)

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

His work is dedicated to discovering how Germplasm, Agronomy are connected with Zea mays and Hybrid and other disciplines. He combines topics linked to Agronomy with his work on Zea mays. Among his Food science studies, there is a synthesis of other scientific areas such as Animal science and Biochemistry. In his works, Torbert Rocheford performs multidisciplinary study on Animal science and Food science. By researching both Biochemistry and Gene, Torbert Rocheford produces research that crosses academic boundaries. He brings together Gene and Genetic variation to produce work in his papers. His multidisciplinary approach integrates Genetics and Biotechnology in his work. He applies his multidisciplinary studies on Biotechnology and Genetics in his research. Borrowing concepts from Genetic architecture, Torbert Rocheford weaves in ideas under Quantitative trait locus.
