OverviewAI-generated summary

Andy Pereira is a professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville whose research focuses on the genetic and molecular underpinnings of plant traits, particularly in rice. His work utilizes advanced genomic techniques and computational approaches to identify genes and genomic regions associated with important agricultural characteristics such as grain yield, quality, and stress tolerance.

Recent publications from Pereira's group investigate the genetic dissection of grain yield components under high night temperature stress in rice diversity panels and recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations. He also explores quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and candidate genes related to chalkiness, grain characteristics, and chlorophyll content, especially under drought and high night temperature conditions. His research employs high-throughput SNP markers and network-based machine learning to predict factors like transcription factors involved in drought resistance.

Pereira's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 51, 235 total publications, and over 12,000 citations, designating him as a highly cited researcher. He actively collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Julie A. Thomas, Julie Thomas, Yheni Dwiningsih, and Charles Ruiz, with whom he has co-authored numerous publications. Pereira also maintains an active lab website.
