Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

Her primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Photosynthesis, Botany, Chlorophyll and Horticulture. Much of her study explores Agronomy relationship to Canopy. She works in the field of Photosynthesis, namely Stomatal conductance.

As part of her studies on Botany, Vijaya Gopal Kakani often connects relevant areas like Carbon dioxide. Her Chlorophyll research includes elements of Crop yield, Nitrogen deficiency and Plant physiology. Her work in the fields of Malvaceae, Fiber crop and Germination overlaps with other areas such as Pollen tube.

Her most cited work include:

  • Field crop responses to ultraviolet-B radiation: a review (379 citations)
  • Nitrogen deficiency effects on plant growth, leaf photosynthesis, and hyperspectral reflectance properties of sorghum (322 citations)
  • Differences in in vitro Pollen Germination and Pollen Tube Growth of Cotton Cultivars in Response to High Temperature (181 citations)

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

Vijaya Gopal Kakani spends much of her time researching Agronomy, Photosynthesis, Horticulture, Botany and Growing season. The study incorporates disciplines such as Biomass and Panicum virgatum in addition to Agronomy. Her research in Photosynthesis intersects with topics in Dry weight, Chlorophyll, Nutrient and Plant physiology.

Her Horticulture research includes themes of Dry matter, Irrigation and Genotype. In the subject of general Botany, her work in Germination, Pollen and Malvaceae is often linked to Pollen tube, thereby combining diverse domains of study. Her Growing season study which covers Eddy covariance that intersects with Water content, Evapotranspiration and Seasonality.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (51.58%)
  • Photosynthesis (26.32%)
  • Horticulture (24.21%)

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

  • Agronomy (51.58%)
  • Grazing (5.26%)
  • Water-use efficiency (10.53%)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Grazing, Water-use efficiency, Greenhouse gas and Vegetation. Her Agronomy study typically links adjacent topics like Panicum virgatum. Her studies deal with areas such as Pasture and Global change as well as Grazing.

Her Water-use efficiency research also works with subjects such as

  • Stomatal conductance and related Horticulture, Doubled haploidy, Transpiration and Vigna,
  • Sowing which intersects with area such as Water content. Her study looks at the relationship between Greenhouse gas and topics such as Environmental protection, which overlap with Fertilizer, Sustainable agriculture and Soil management. Her study explores the link between Vegetation and topics such as Remote sensing that cross with problems in Wetland and Soil water.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Application of the water-related spectral reflectance indices: A review (16 citations)
  • Climate Effects on Tallgrass Prairie Responses to Continuous and Rotational Grazing (7 citations)
  • Guar responses to temperature: Estimation of cardinal temperatures and photosynthetic parameters (5 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agriculture

Her primary areas of study are Greenhouse gas, Grazing, Environmental protection, Vegetation and Agronomy. Her Greenhouse gas research incorporates themes from Climateprediction.net, Crop yield and Downscaling. Her Grazing research incorporates elements of Fertilizer, Grassland and Growing season.

The Environmental protection study combines topics in areas such as Soil management, Sustainable agriculture, Agriculture and Greenhouse. Her research integrates issues of Field experiment, Soil water and Wetland in her study of Vegetation. Agronomy is intertwined with Environment controlled and Temperature gradient in her study.
