The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

Her main research concerns Mycotoxin, Fusarium, Botany, Fungi imperfecti and Fumonisin. Her study looks at the relationship between Mycotoxin and topics such as Zea mays, which overlap with Poaceae. Anne E. Desjardins has researched Fusarium in several fields, including Biotechnology, Regulator gene and Genome, Genomics.

Her study looks at the intersection of Botany and topics like Microbiology with Virulence and Gibberella zeae. Her Fungi imperfecti research includes elements of Fumonisin B1, Fusarium proliferatum, Food science and Sorghum. Her Fumonisin research focuses on subjects like Gene, which are linked to Gibberella fujikuroi.

Her most cited work include:

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Fusarium, Botany, Mycotoxin, Fumonisin and Trichothecene. Her Fusarium research includes themes of Genetic analysis and Fungi imperfecti. Her work on Gibberella, Fungus, Gibberella pulicaris and Solanum tuberosum as part of general Botany research is frequently linked to Moniliformin, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

As a part of the same scientific study, Anne E. Desjardins usually deals with the Mycotoxin, concentrating on Poaceae and frequently concerns with Fusarium subglutinans. Her Fumonisin study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Gibberella fujikuroi and Fumonisin B1. Her research integrates issues of Gene, Mutant, Virulence and Gibberella zeae in her study of Trichothecene.

  • Mycotoxin (44.78%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2005-2012)?

  • Fusarium (52.24%)
  • Mycotoxin (44.78%)
  • Botany (50.75%)

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

Anne E. Desjardins mainly focuses on Fusarium, Mycotoxin, Botany, Trichothecene and Gene. Her Fusarium research is mostly focused on the topic Fumonisin. Her studies in Mycotoxin integrate themes in fields like Poaceae, Agronomy, Horticulture, Gibberella zeae and Virulence.

Her study on Fungus and Fungi imperfecti is often connected to Genetic diversity as part of broader study in Botany. Her Trichothecene study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Gibberella. Gene is the subject of her research, which falls under Genetics.

Between 2005 and 2012, her most popular works were:
