Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Fred M. Bourland, Professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville's Northeast Research and Extension Center, focuses his research on plant breeding and genetics, particularly within the context of cotton cultivation. His work investigates genetic variation and its impact on crop yield and quality, employing methods such as genome-wide association studies to understand complex traits. Bourland has explored the genetic basis of traits like Fusarium wilt resistance in cotton germplasm and the influence of genotype on fatty acid profiles in cottonseed.
His research also extends to practical aspects of crop management and evaluation. This includes developing and utilizing metrics for assessing cotton growth and development, such as 'nodes above white flower,' and understanding how environmental factors, like water availability, affect yield components. Bourland has also contributed to research on soybean maturity group selection for optimal planting in the Midsouth region.
With an h-index of 22 and over 150 publications, Bourland's scholarship has been recognized as highly cited. He collaborates with researchers within the University of Arkansas system, including Gerson Laerson Drescher and Nathan A. Slaton, on various aspects of agricultural science.
