Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Botany

Botany, Genetics, Brassica, Rapeseed and Quantitative trait locus are his primary areas of study. Wolfgang Friedt interconnects Gene pool and Gene in the investigation of issues within Botany. His biological study deals with issues like RAPD, which deal with fields such as Helianthus annuus, Cophenetic and Mantel test.

His Brassica research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Amplified fragment length polymorphism, Transgene, Biochemistry, Linolenic acid and Embryo. His Rapeseed research incorporates themes from Canola, Diallel cross, Vegetable oil and Horticulture. His Quantitative trait locus research integrates issues from Agronomy, Epistasis, Chromosome, Gene mapping and Gene interaction.

His most cited work include:

  • New Syntheses with Oils and Fats as Renewable Raw Materials for the Chemical Industry. (584 citations)
  • On the genetic improvement of androgenetic haploid formation in Hordeum vulgare L. (152 citations)
  • Analysis of Genetic Diversity in the Brassica napus L. Gene Pool Using SSR Markers (144 citations)

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

Wolfgang Friedt spends much of his time researching Genetics, Botany, Agronomy, Gene and Brassica. Marker-assisted selection and Potyviridae is closely connected to Hordeum vulgare in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Genetics. His studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like Sunflower, Helianthus annuus, Genotype and Genetic diversity.

His Genetic diversity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Microsatellite and Genetic variation. His Brassica research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Brassica oleracea and Rapeseed. His study in Quantitative trait locus is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Allele, Genetic association, Gene mapping and Candidate gene.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (36.68%)
  • Botany (35.64%)
  • Agronomy (23.88%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Genetics (36.68%)
  • Agronomy (23.88%)
  • Quantitative trait locus (17.99%)

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

Wolfgang Friedt mostly deals with Genetics, Agronomy, Quantitative trait locus, Botany and Gene. His research on Genetics often connects related topics like Hordeum vulgare. The study incorporates disciplines such as Candidate gene, Genome, Genetic association, Brassica and Seedling in addition to Quantitative trait locus.

The various areas that Wolfgang Friedt examines in his Brassica study include Rapeseed and Longevity. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Genotype and Virulence. The Gene study combines topics in areas such as Barley yellow dwarf and Resistance.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Jasmonate and ethylene dependent defence gene expression and suppression of fungal virulence factors: two essential mechanisms of Fusarium head blight resistance in wheat? (76 citations)
  • Breeding improves wheat productivity under contrasting agrochemical input levels. (56 citations)
  • VERNALIZATION1 Modulates Root System Architecture in Wheat and Barley. (56 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

His primary areas of study are Quantitative trait locus, Agronomy, Brassica, Genetics and Botany. His work investigates the relationship between Quantitative trait locus and topics such as Candidate gene that intersect with problems in Colonization, Genotype and Drought tolerance. Wolfgang Friedt combines subjects such as Germplasm, Genetic variation, Doubled haploidy and Rapeseed with his study of Brassica.

His Rapeseed study combines topics in areas such as Chromosome, Silique and Family-based QTL mapping. His Genetics study often links to related topics such as Gene pool. Wolfgang Friedt has researched Botany in several fields, including Plant genetics, Pleiotropy and Amplified fragment length polymorphism.
