Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Fred M. Bourland's research focuses on the genetic improvement of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) through advanced breeding techniques and genomic analysis. He investigates the genetic basis of important agronomic traits, including lint yield, fiber quality, and resistance to diseases such as bacterial blight and cotton leafroll dwarf virus. His work involves genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to identify genetic loci associated with these traits and to understand population structure and genetic diversity within cotton germplasm.
Bourland has led projects funded by agencies such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to advance cotton breeding and genetics. His recent publications explore the development of genome resources for modern cotton lines, the contributions of genotype and environment to yield and fiber quality, and the genetic characterization of disease resistance genes. He also studies photoperiod sensitivity in cotton and has contributed to research on optimizing soybean oil yield and protein concentration.
His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 22 with over 1,500 citations, reflecting a significant impact in his field. Bourland collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Gerson Laerson Drescher and Nathan A. Slaton, on shared publications. He maintains an active laboratory website to disseminate research findings.
