Alessandra Zambonelli

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

• Ecology
• Botany
• Fungus

Alessandra Zambonelli mainly focuses on Botany, Truffle, Mycelium, Ascocarp and Tuber aestivum. She focuses mostly in the field of Truffle, narrowing it down to matters related to Solid-phase microextraction and, in some cases, Mass spectrum and Fraction. Her research investigates the link between Mycelium and topics such as Hypha that cross with problems in Phycomycetes.

Her work carried out in the field of Ascocarp brings together such families of science as Bacteroidetes, 16S ribosomal RNA, Actinobacteria, Bacteria and Fungus. Her Tuber aestivum research integrates issues from Tuber melanosporum, Mushroom, Fungal genetics, Genome and Ectosymbiosis. Her Tuber melanosporum study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Tuber macrosporum, Genomics, Tuber brumale, Specific identification and Symbiosis.

Her most cited work include:

• Périgord black truffle genome uncovers evolutionary origins and mechanisms of symbiosis (518 citations)
• Effects of Essential Oils on Phytopathogenic Fungi In Vitro (178 citations)
• Historical biogeography and diversification of Truffles in the Tuberaceae and their newly identified southern hemisphere sister lineage (153 citations)

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

Alessandra Zambonelli spends much of her time researching Botany, Truffle, Mycelium, Horticulture and Ecology. Her Botany research includes elements of Symbiosis, Mycorrhiza and Ectomycorrhizae. Her work deals with themes such as Spacer DNA and Ribosomal DNA, which intersect with Mycorrhiza.

Her Ectomycorrhizae research includes themes of Restriction enzyme and Restriction fragment length polymorphism. Her studies deal with areas such as Ascocarp, Agronomy and Spore as well as Truffle. Her research in Mycelium focuses on subjects like Hypha, which are connected to Fusarium solani, Rhizoctonia solani and Fungicide.

She most often published in these fields:

• Botany (44.25%)
• Truffle (39.66%)
• Mycelium (24.14%)

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

• Truffle (39.66%)
• Botany (44.25%)
• Mycelium (24.14%)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Truffle, Botany, Mycelium, Tuber aestivum and Spore. The various areas that Alessandra Zambonelli examines in her Truffle study include Inoculation, Horticulture and Agronomy. When carried out as part of a general Botany research project, her work on Genus Tuber, Ascocarp and Tuber borchii is frequently linked to work in Pezizomycetes, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

Her Mycelium research incorporates themes from Acetylcholinesterase, Food science, Hypha, ABTS and Agaricomycetes. The Tuber aestivum study combines topics in areas such as Forest management, Lactarius deliciosus, Suillus granulatus, Hydnum repandum and Dominance. As part of one scientific family, Alessandra Zambonelli deals mainly with the area of Tuber melanosporum, narrowing it down to issues related to the Ectosymbiosis, and often Southern Hemisphere.

Between 2014 and 2021, her most popular works were:

• Pezizomycetes genomes reveal the molecular basis of ectomycorrhizal truffle lifestyle (37 citations)
• True Truffle (Tuber spp.) in the World: Soil Ecology, Systematics and Biochemistry (26 citations)
• First evidence for truffle production from plants inoculated with mycelial pure cultures. (19 citations)

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

• Ecology
• Botany
• Fungus

Her primary areas of study are Truffle, Botany, Tuber borchii, Mycelium and Tuber aestivum. Her primary area of study in Truffle is in the field of Tuber magnatum. Alessandra Zambonelli combines subjects such as Species richness and Species complex with her study of Botany.

The concepts of her Tuber borchii study are interwoven with issues in Inoculation and Mycorrhizal fungi. She has included themes like Polyporales, Potato dextrose agar, Fomes fomentarius, Fomitopsis pinicola and Polypore in her Mycelium study. Her Tuber aestivum research incorporates elements of Tuber melanosporum, Choiromyces and Horticulture.
