Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Larry C. Purcell's research focuses on the genetic and environmental factors influencing soybean productivity and resilience. He investigates genomic prediction models for various crop traits, including those in soybean, rice, and maize, considering their heritability. His work examines the impact of climate change on food security assessments, specifically in relation to soybean models. Purcell also studies environmental factors associated with nitrogen fixation prediction in soybean and the effects of climate change and management practices on nitrogen fixation, soil mineralization, N2O emissions, and seed yield.

His research includes identifying and confirming genetic loci linked to traits such as canopy wilting in soybean through genome-wide association mapping. Purcell also explores the effects of seed inoculation with specific bacteria, such as Azospirillum brasilense, in U.S. soybean systems. Additionally, he has published research on the anti-biofilm effects of certain antiseptics on uropathogenic bacteria.

Purcell is a highly cited researcher with an h-index of 53 and a total of 193 publications. He has collaborated with several faculty members at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Avjinder S. Kaler, Siva K. Chamarthi, C. Andy King, and Jeremy Ross.
