Abstract
The basic principle of GWAS is to integrate genotype and phenotype data through general linear models or mixed linear models (MLM). Genome-wide association study (GWAS) is an efficient method to discover genomic regions associated with traits of interest and has been successfully implemented in various crops, including sorghum. Bibliometric analysis is a method that quantitatively evaluates scientific research by measuring the knowledge conveyed through scientific publications within a specific field. A total of 227 scholarly articles on sorghum and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were examined within the Web of Science database, spanning the years 2000 to 2022. All of the articles, written by 1117 authors from 27 publishers, 347 institutes, and 48 countries and published in 91 journals, were written in English. The five most prominent journals in the field were identified as Theoretical and Applied Genetics (8.37%), G3 Genes Genomes Genetics (7.04%), Frontiers in Plant Science (6.60%), Plant Genome (6.60%), and Plant Physiology (4.40%), with each having published more than 10 papers. The five countries that ranked highest in terms of paper publications were the United States, the People's Republic of China, India, Australia, and Germany. According to the available data, the leading publishers in the field were Springer Nature, Wiley, Oxford University Press, Frontiers Media SA, and MDPI. The authors, who have published the highest number of papers, exceeding twelve in quantity, are Morris GP, Kresovich S, Hu ZB, Perumal R, and Upadhyaya HD. The set of keywords was partitioned into six distinct clusters, each corresponding to a unique area of the research query. Visualizations provide a means of exploring the current state of a scientific field or discipline and can also suggest potential future directions. The identification of primary research concepts and areas in this study may prove beneficial for forthcoming research endeavors and policy-making processes concerning the enhancement of sorghum.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition is an international, peer reviewed journal devoted to publishing original research findings in the areas of soil science, plant nutrition, agriculture and environmental science.
Soil sciences submissions may cover physics, chemistry, biology, microbiology, mineralogy, ecology, pedology, soil classification and amelioration.
Plant nutrition and agriculture submissions may include plant production, physiology and metabolism of plants, plant ecology, diversity and sustainability of agricultural systems, organic and inorganic fertilization in relation to their impact on yields, quality of plants and ecological systems, and agroecosystems studies.
Submissions covering soil degradation, environmental pollution, nature conservation, and environmental protection are also welcome.
The journal considers for publication original research articles, technical notes, short communication, and reviews (both voluntary and by invitation), and letters to the editor.
