Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Ecology

Yehoshua Saranga focuses on Quantitative trait locus, Agronomy, Plant breeding, Gene–environment interaction and Poaceae. Quantitative trait locus is a subfield of Genetics that Yehoshua Saranga studies. His study in Cultivar, Productivity and Irrigation is carried out as part of his studies in Agronomy.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Gene–environment interaction, Locus, Horticulture and Gene pool is strongly linked to Allele. His research investigates the connection with Poaceae and areas like Genetic variation which intersect with concerns in Nutrient, Botany and Plant nutrition. The study incorporates disciplines such as Gossypium herbaceum and Gossypium barbadense in addition to Plant genetics.

His most cited work include:

  • Repeated polyploidization of Gossypium genomes and the evolution of spinnable cotton fibres (762 citations)
  • QTL analysis of genotype x environment interactions affecting cotton fiber quality. (235 citations)
  • Estimation of leaf water potential by thermal imagery and spatial analysis (231 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Quantitative trait locus, Botany, Cultivar and Genetics. His research in Agronomy intersects with topics in Genetic diversity and Horticulture. His Genetic diversity research focuses on subjects like Genetic variation, which are linked to Inbred strain.

His Quantitative trait locus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Gossypium, Introgression, Allele, Gossypium barbadense and Gene–environment interaction. His Cultivar study incorporates themes from Grain quality and Water-use efficiency. While the research belongs to areas of Genetics, he spends his time largely on the problem of Drought tolerance, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Genetic dissection, Abiotic stress and Abscisic acid.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (50.00%)
  • Quantitative trait locus (26.60%)
  • Botany (22.34%)

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

  • Eragrostis (6.38%)
  • Agronomy (50.00%)
  • Quantitative trait locus (26.60%)

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

Yehoshua Saranga mainly focuses on Eragrostis, Agronomy, Quantitative trait locus, Crop and Botany. His Eragrostis study also includes

  • Mediterranean climate which is related to area like Heritability, Seedling and Arid,
  • Irrigation and related Greenhouse, Productivity and Plant nutrition. His Agronomy research incorporates themes from Domestication and Genetic diversity.

He interconnects Powdery mildew, Introgression, Hybrid, Allele and Candidate gene in the investigation of issues within Quantitative trait locus. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biomass, Aphid, Shoot and Sowing. His studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like Ionomics, Gene and Genetic architecture.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Durum Wheat as a Bridge Between Wild Emmer Wheat Genetic Resources and Bread Wheat (11 citations)
  • Less Is More: Lower Sowing Rate of Irrigated Tef (Eragrostis tef) Alters Plant Morphology and Reduces Lodging (6 citations)
  • Phenotypic diversity and heritability in Eragrostis tef under irrigated Mediterranean conditions (6 citations)
