Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Julie A. Thomas's research activities involve the study of plant genetics, specifically focusing on rice (Oryza sativa). Her work has investigated quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and candidate genes associated with various agronomic traits, including grain yield components under high night temperature stress, grain quality traits, chlorophyll content under drought conditions, and drought-related traits. Thomas has also contributed to the structural analysis of bacteriophages, examining aspects like tail contraction mechanisms.

Her recent publications demonstrate a focus on high-throughput SNP markers for genomic region identification and the genetic dissection of yield components in rice. Additionally, her research has explored phenomics and physiology related to high night temperature stress in rice. Thomas also has a publication related to the proteomic analysis of metapeptidomics through the Biomolecular Resource Facilities Proteome Informatics Research Group Study (iPRG-2020).

Thomas has a significant publication record, with 73 total publications and 1,668 total citations, reflected in her h-index of 23. She is recognized as a highly cited researcher. Her collaborative network includes 12 shared publications with Julie Thomas (Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station), 11 with Andy Pereira (University of Arkansas at Fayetteville), 7 with Yheni Dwiningsih (University of Arkansas at Fayetteville), and 5 with Charles Ruiz (University of Arkansas at Fayetteville).
