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

  • Mycotoxin (50.00%)
  • Fusarium (57.74%)
  • Phylogenetics (9.52%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Mycotoxin, Fusarium, Phylogenetics, Botany and Food science. In general Mycotoxin study, his work on Ochratoxin A often relates to the realm of Veterinary medicine, thereby connecting several areas of interest. Antonio Moretti works mostly in the field of Fusarium, limiting it down to topics relating to Species complex and, in certain cases, Genus, as a part of the same area of interest.

His work investigates the relationship between Botany and topics such as Oryza sativa that intersect with problems in Morphology. His work in the fields of Ochratoxins overlaps with other areas such as Chemotype. His study explores the link between Beauvericin and topics such as Moniliformin that cross with problems in Subtropics.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Mycotoxin risks under a climate change scenario in Europe (59 citations)
  • Fusarium Molds and Mycotoxins: Potential Species-Specific Effects. (55 citations)
  • In Vitro and in Field Response of Different Fungicides against Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium Species Causing Ear Rot Disease of Maize (24 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Fungus
  • Gene

Antonio Moretti mainly investigates Mycotoxin, Fusarium, Zearalenone, Phylogenetics and Species complex. His Mycotoxin research is within the category of Botany. He has included themes like Oryza sativa, Gene and Morphology in his Botany study.

His Fusarium research includes themes of Contamination and Aspergillus flavus. His Zearalenone study which covers Beauvericin that intersects with Biochemistry, Toxicokinetics, In vivo and Subtropics. The Phylogenetics study combines topics in areas such as Taxonomy, Trichothecene and Phylogenetic tree.
