Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Fungus

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Eucalyptus, Puccinia psidii, Ceratocystis fimbriata and Horticulture. As a part of the same scientific study, Acelino C. Alfenas usually deals with the Botany, concentrating on Pleosporales and frequently concerns with Corynespora. His Eucalyptus research incorporates elements of Agroforestry, Inoculation, Woody plant, Myrtaceae and Microfungi.

In his study, RAPD, Bulked segregant analysis, Major gene and Microsatellite is inextricably linked to Locus, which falls within the broad field of Puccinia psidii. His research integrates issues of Ceratocystis, Population genetics, UPGMA and Internal transcribed spacer in his study of Ceratocystis fimbriata. His Horticulture study incorporates themes from Dry matter and Irrigation.

His most cited work include:

  • Fungal Planet description sheets: 214–280 (209 citations)
  • Eucalyptus rust: a disease with the potential for serious international implications. (203 citations)
  • Integrating genetic and silvicultural strategies to minimize abiotic and biotic constraints in Brazilian eucalypt plantations (196 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Acelino C. Alfenas mainly investigates Botany, Eucalyptus, Horticulture, Puccinia psidii and Inoculation. His Botany study frequently involves adjacent topics like Pathogen. His research in Eucalyptus intersects with topics in Rhizoctonia, Canker, Woody plant, Genotype and Cutting.

His studies in Horticulture integrate themes in fields like Rhizobacteria and Spore. He interconnects Urediniospore, Genetics, Microsatellite and Plant disease resistance in the investigation of issues within Puccinia psidii. He has researched Ceratocystis fimbriata in several fields, including Mangifera, Cultivar, Internal transcribed spacer, Ceratocystis and Genetic variation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (63.57%)
  • Eucalyptus (39.53%)
  • Horticulture (37.21%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Botany (63.57%)
  • Eucalyptus (39.53%)
  • Horticulture (37.21%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are Botany, Eucalyptus, Horticulture, Ceratocystis fimbriata and Ceratocystis. The various areas that he examines in his Botany study include Inoculation, Pathogen, Phylogenetic tree, Microsatellite and Host. His work carried out in the field of Eucalyptus brings together such families of science as Calonectria, Blight and Genotype.

His Horticulture research incorporates themes from Plant disease resistance, Glyphosate, Puccinia psidii and Race. Acelino C. Alfenas combines subjects such as Mangifera, Cultivar, Internal transcribed spacer, Colocasia esculenta and Genetic variation with his study of Ceratocystis fimbriata. The concepts of his Ceratocystis study are interwoven with issues in Eucalyptus dunnii and Caryocar brasiliense.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Species or Genotypes? Reassessment of Four Recently Described Species of the Ceratocystis Wilt Pathogen, Ceratocystis fimbriata, on Mangifera indica. (43 citations)
  • Fungal planet description sheets: 868–950 (35 citations)
  • Diversity and potential impact of Calonectria species in Eucalyptus plantations in Brazil. (29 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Fungus

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Ceratocystis fimbriata, Eucalyptus, Ceratocystis and Microsatellite. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Inoculation and Phylogenetic tree. His Inoculation study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Horticulture.

His work deals with themes such as Mangifera, Internal transcribed spacer, Invasive species, PEST analysis and Genetic variation, which intersect with Ceratocystis fimbriata. His Eucalyptus study is focused on Ecology in general. His Microsatellite research integrates issues from Ipomoea, Puccinia psidii and Intergenic region.
