Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Genus

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Phylogenetic tree, Phylogenetics, Ecology and Clade. His Botany research incorporates elements of Evolutionary biology, Miscanthus, Amplified fragment length polymorphism and Monophyly. His research investigates the connection between Monophyly and topics such as Ribosomal DNA that intersect with problems in Intergenic region and Saccharum.

His research integrates issues of Taxon, Bambuseae, Pooideae and Panicoideae in his study of Phylogenetic tree. His Phylogenetics research integrates issues from Speciation, Extinction, Ploidy, Polyploid and Similarity. His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Feulgen stain, Chloridoideae and Genome size.

His most cited work include:

  • New grass phylogeny resolves deep evolutionary relationships and discovers C4 origins (329 citations)
  • Oligocene CO2 Decline Promoted C4 Photosynthesis in Grasses (266 citations)
  • Phylogenetics of Miscanthus , Saccharum and related genera (Saccharinae, Andropogoneae, Poaceae) based on DNA sequences from ITS nuclear ribosomal DNA and plastid trnL intron and trnL-F intergenic spacers (199 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Ecology, Agronomy, Poaceae and Genetic diversity. His Botany study combines topics in areas such as Microsatellite and Phylogenetic tree. Trevor R. Hodkinson combines subjects such as Evolutionary biology, Bambuseae and Phylogenetics with his study of Phylogenetic tree.

His work in the fields of Climate change, Range and Ecology overlaps with other areas such as Diversity. His work carried out in the field of Poaceae brings together such families of science as Bamboo and Nomenclature. His research on Genetic diversity also deals with topics like

  • Genetic marker and Amplified fragment length polymorphism most often made with reference to Genetic variation,
  • Lolium most often made with reference to Lolium perenne.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (49.39%)
  • Ecology (19.51%)
  • Agronomy (15.85%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Botany (49.39%)
  • Agronomy (15.85%)
  • Taxonomy (7.93%)

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

Trevor R. Hodkinson spends much of his time researching Botany, Agronomy, Taxonomy, Cultivar and Crop. His study in Botany concentrates on Poaceae, Piperaceae, Genus, Typification and Taxon. His work on Crop yield as part of general Agronomy research is often related to Hordeum murinum, thus linking different fields of science.

His work in Cultivar tackles topics such as Microbial inoculant which are related to areas like Endophyte and Fungicide. His Crop study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biomass and Microsatellite. His Pollen study which covers Phylogenetic tree that intersects with Phylogenetics.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • From Concept to Commerce: Developing a Successful Fungal Endophyte Inoculant for Agricultural Crops. (32 citations)
  • Evolution and Taxonomy of the Grasses (Poaceae): A Model Family for the Study of Species‐Rich Groups (22 citations)
  • Plastid genome sequencing reveals biogeographical structure and extensive population genetic variation in wild populations of Phalaris arundinacea L. in north-western Europe (21 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Genus

Trevor R. Hodkinson mainly investigates Agronomy, Genetic variation, Genetic diversity, Botany and Microbial inoculant. Trevor R. Hodkinson interconnects Polyploid and Agricultural crops in the investigation of issues within Agronomy. His work deals with themes such as Genetic marker, Genomics, Linkage disequilibrium and Allelic heterogeneity, which intersect with Genetic variation.

His research in Genetic diversity intersects with topics in Ecology, Cline, Population genetics and Reference genome. The various areas that Trevor R. Hodkinson examines in his Botany study include Marginal land and Far East. His Microbial inoculant research includes elements of Endophyte, Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense, Cultivar, Fungicide and Crop.
