Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

Botany
Fungus
Biochemistry

Her primary areas of investigation include Botany, Stereochemistry, Fungi imperfecti, Mycoherbicide and Germination. Her Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Metabolite and Phytotoxin. The Stereochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Biological activity and Isosclerone.

Her Mycoherbicide study incorporates themes from Cirsium arvense and Thistle. Her Germination research includes themes of Exudate and Parasitic plant. The various areas that Anna Andolfi examines in her Lycorine study include Structure–activity relationship and Phenanthridine.

Her most cited work include:

Lycorine, the Main Phenanthridine Amaryllidaceae Alkaloid, Exhibits Significant Antitumor Activity in Cancer Cells That Display Resistance to Proapoptotic Stimuli: An Investigation of Structure−Activity Relationship and Mechanistic Insight (165 citations)
Amaryllidaceae alkaloids belonging to different structural subgroups display activity against apoptosis-resistant cancer cells. (109 citations)
Phytotoxins Produced by Fungi Associated with Grapevine Trunk Diseases (100 citations)

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

Botany, Stereochemistry, Phytotoxicity, Fungus and Mycoherbicide are her primary areas of study. As part of her studies on Botany, Anna Andolfi often connects relevant subjects like Metabolite. Her research in Metabolite intersects with topics in Toxin and Strain.

Her research investigates the link between Stereochemistry and topics such as Structure–activity relationship that cross with problems in Cancer cell. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Phytotoxin and Cirsium arvense. Her Germination study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Exudate and Parasitic plant.

She most often published in these fields:

Botany (49.21%)
Stereochemistry (17.99%)
Phytotoxicity (16.40%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

Metabolomics (3.70%)
Chromatography (7.94%)
Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (3.17%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Metabolomics, Chromatography, Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, Strain and Botany. Her Metabolomics research incorporates elements of Evolutionary biology, Natural product and Computational biology. The Extraction research Anna Andolfi does as part of her general Chromatography study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Composition, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

Anna Andolfi interconnects Metabolite, Phytotoxicity and Anemonia sulcata in the investigation of issues within Strain. The study incorporates disciplines such as Botryosphaeriaceae, Host and Azelaic acid in addition to Botany. Anna Andolfi combines subjects such as Stereochemistry and Metal with her study of Antimicrobial.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

Secondary Metabolites of Mangrove-Associated Strains of Talaromyces (23 citations)
Production of toxic metabolites by two strains of Lasiodiplodia theobromae, isolated from a coconut tree and a human patient. (16 citations)
GC–MS approaches for the screening of metabolites produced by marine-derived Aspergillus (15 citations)

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

Botany
Fungus
Biochemistry

Her main research concerns Metabolomics, Strain, Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, Biodiversity and Lasiodiplodia theobromae. She has included themes like Gas chromatography, Aspergillus and Mass spectrometry in her Metabolomics study. Her Strain research incorporates themes from Metabolite, Trichoderma citrinoviride and Microbiology.

Her work carried out in the field of Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry brings together such families of science as Mass spectrum, Computational biology and Mycelium. Her Biodiversity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Evolutionary biology and Natural product. Her Lasiodiplodia theobromae study incorporates themes from Pathogenic fungus, Host, Botryosphaeria rhodina and Abiotic component.
