Alexander H. Purcell

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Botany
• Ecology
• Bacteria

Alexander H. Purcell focuses on Botany, Xylella fastidiosa, Sharpshooter, Glassy-winged sharpshooter and Bacteria. His Botany study focuses mostly on Homoptera, Acyrthosiphon pisum, Aphididae, Aphid and Hamiltonella defensa. The study incorporates disciplines such as Inoculation, Xylem, Microbiology and Biofilm in addition to Xylella fastidiosa.

Alexander H. Purcell has included themes like Host and Gene, Cell-cell signaling, Virulence in his Microbiology study. Alexander H. Purcell usually deals with Glassy-winged sharpshooter and limits it to topics linked to Ecology and Genetics and Plant disease resistance. In general Bacteria study, his work on Mollicutes often relates to the realm of Molecular cloning, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His most cited work include:

• Facultative bacterial endosymbionts benefit pea aphids Acyrthosiphon pisum under heat stress (546 citations)
• Xylella fastidiosa: Cause of Pierce's Disease of Grapevine and Other Emergent Diseases. (382 citations)
• The biology of xylem fluid-feeding insect vectors of Xylella fastidiosa and their relation to disease epidemiology. (374 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Xylella fastidiosa, Leafhopper, Microbiology and Bacteria. His Botany study combines topics in areas such as Inoculation, Horticulture and Host. His research in Xylella fastidiosa intersects with topics in Hemiptera and Ecology.

His Leafhopper course of study focuses on Graphocephala atropunctata and Vitis vinifera. His study in Microbiology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Plasmid, Virology, Genetics and Virulence. Alexander H. Purcell interconnects Transmission and Escherichia coli in the investigation of issues within Bacteria.

He most often published in these fields:

• Botany (56.52%)
• Xylella fastidiosa (42.39%)
• Leafhopper (26.09%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2021)?

• Xylella fastidiosa (42.39%)
• Botany (56.52%)
• Hemiptera (10.87%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Xylella fastidiosa, Botany, Hemiptera, Leafhopper and Sharpshooter. Alexander H. Purcell is interested in Leaf scorch, which is a branch of Xylella fastidiosa. His study ties his expertise on Microorganism together with the subject of Botany.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Hemiptera, Oncometopia are connected with Introduced species and Wine grape and other disciplines. His studies in Leafhopper integrate themes in fields like Inoculation, Pathogen and Arthropod mouthparts. The concepts of his Microbiology study are interwoven with issues in Bacterial growth and Agar.

Between 2003 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• The biology of xylem fluid-feeding insect vectors of Xylella fastidiosa and their relation to disease epidemiology. (374 citations)
• Cell-cell signaling controls Xylella fastidiosa interactions with both insects and plants (223 citations)
• Vector Transmission of Xylella fastidiosa: Applying Fundamental Knowledge to Generate Disease Management Strategies (119 citations)

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

• Ecology
• Botany
• Bacteria

Alexander H. Purcell spends much of his time researching Xylella fastidiosa, Ecology, Sharpshooter, Hemiptera and Microbiology. His Xylella fastidiosa research incorporates themes from Host, Gene, Virulence and Botany. His Datura, Weed and Ipomoea study, which is part of a larger body of work in Botany, is frequently linked to Datura wrightii and Helianthus annuus, bridging the gap between disciplines.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Disease management and Biotechnology in addition to Ecology. His Microbiology research includes themes of Nymph, Leafhopper, Cicadellinae and Arthropod mouthparts. His Glassy-winged sharpshooter research integrates issues from Wine grape, Oncometopia, Xylem, Introduced species and Conyza canadensis.
