Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Avjinder S. Kaler's research focuses on understanding the genetic underpinnings of important traits in soybean and other crop species. His work utilizes genome-wide association mapping (GWAS) to identify specific genomic regions associated with traits such as canopy wilting, carbon isotope ratios, water use efficiency, and seed characteristics. Kaler also investigates the application of genomic prediction models to estimate the heritability of these traits across different crops, including soybean, rice, and maize. His scholarship includes 24 publications with 829 citations and an h-index of 11. He has collaborated with researchers including Larry C. Purcell and Siva K. Chamarthi at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, as well as C. Andy King and Ainong Shi from the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station.
