Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Hordeum vulgare, Genetics, Botany, Locus and Quantitative trait locus. He interconnects Cultivar, Dwarfing, Genetic diversity and Seedling in the investigation of issues within Hordeum vulgare. The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Gene pool, Genetic variation, Genotype and Horticulture.

His Locus research includes elements of Domestication, Allele and Restriction fragment length polymorphism. In his study, Haplotype and Environmental change is inextricably linked to Agriculture, which falls within the broad field of Allele. Quantitative trait locus and Chromosome are commonly linked in his work.

His most cited work include:

  • Natural variation in a homolog of Antirrhinum CENTRORADIALIS contributed to spring growth habit and environmental adaptation in cultivated barley (332 citations)
  • INTERMEDIUM-C, a modifier of lateral spikelet fertility in barley, is an ortholog of the maize domestication gene TEOSINTE BRANCHED 1 (237 citations)
  • Genome-wide association mapping to candidate polymorphism resolution in the unsequenced barley genome. (211 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Hordeum vulgare, Quantitative trait locus, Genetics, Agronomy and Botany. His Hordeum vulgare research is included under the broader classification of Poaceae. His Quantitative trait locus research includes themes of Candidate gene, Association mapping, Germplasm and Genetic variation.

His study in Agronomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Plant disease resistance and Transgressive segregation. His Botany research incorporates elements of Ploidy, Abiotic stress and Horticulture. His research in Allele intersects with topics in Domestication and Genome-wide association study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hordeum vulgare (43.75%)
  • Quantitative trait locus (35.16%)
  • Genetics (34.38%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Quantitative trait locus (35.16%)
  • Genetics (34.38%)
  • Agronomy (34.38%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Quantitative trait locus, Genetics, Agronomy, Nested association mapping and Cultivar. His work carried out in the field of Quantitative trait locus brings together such families of science as Germplasm, Association mapping, Locus, Genetic variation and Candidate gene. His research on Genetics frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Hordeum vulgare.

His studies in Hordeum vulgare integrate themes in fields like Genetic marker and Flavor. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Pollen, Emasculation, Pollination and Inbreeding. The various areas that William T. B. Thomas examines in his Nested association mapping study include Phenotype, Crop yield and Introgression.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Development and Evaluation of a Barley 50k iSelect SNP Array. (95 citations)
  • Barley SIX-ROWED SPIKE3 encodes a putative Jumonji C-type H3K9me2/me3 demethylase that represses lateral spikelet fertility. (45 citations)
  • Barley yield formation under abiotic stress depends on the interplay between flowering time genes and environmental cues. (31 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

William T. B. Thomas focuses on Genetics, Allele, Hordeum vulgare, Nested association mapping and Quantitative trait locus. His Genetics study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Computational biology. His Allele study improves the overall literature in Gene.

His research integrates issues of Horticulture, Flavor, Leucine zipper and Histone H4, Transcription in his study of Hordeum vulgare. His Nested association mapping research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cultivar, Germplasm, Agronomy, Genotype and Genetic variation. His Quantitative trait locus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Genomics, Gene map and Candidate gene.
