Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

Ecology
Botany
Bacteria

Rhizosphere, Botany, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Agronomy and Fusarium wilt are her primary areas of study. Her Rhizosphere research entails a greater understanding of Bacteria. Much of her study explores Botany relationship to Paenibacillus.

Her Pseudomonas fluorescens study incorporates themes from Inoculation, Pseudomonas, 2,4-Diacetylphloroglucinol, Pseudomonadaceae and Rhizobacteria. Her study explores the link between Inoculation and topics such as Microbiology that cross with problems in Bacteroides and Gut flora. Her work in Crop, Monoculture and Cultivar are all subfields of Agronomy research.

Her most cited work include:

Intestinal Microbiota Is Influenced by Gender and Body Mass Index. (267 citations)
Role of 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol-producing fluorescent Pseudomonas spp. in the defense of plant roots. (180 citations)
Differential Ability of Genotypes of 2,4-Diacetylphloroglucinol-Producing Pseudomonas fluorescens Strains To Colonize the Roots of Pea Plants (147 citations)

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

Blanca B. Landa focuses on Botany, Agronomy, Horticulture, Rhizosphere and Xylella fastidiosa. The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Nematode and Ribosomal DNA, Phylogenetic tree. Tillage and Soil texture is closely connected to Soil management in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Agronomy.

Blanca B. Landa interconnects Soil organic matter, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Monoculture in the investigation of issues within Rhizosphere. Her Pseudomonas fluorescens research also works with subjects such as

2,4-Diacetylphloroglucinol which intersects with area such as Genotype,
Microbiology which intersects with area such as Verticillium dahliae. Blanca B. Landa has researched Xylella fastidiosa in several fields, including Subspecies, Olive trees and Genetic diversity.

She most often published in these fields:

Botany (42.77%)
Agronomy (21.08%)
Horticulture (16.27%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

Xylella fastidiosa (10.84%)
Subspecies (4.82%)
Xylem (4.22%)

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

Her main research concerns Xylella fastidiosa, Subspecies, Xylem, Genetics and Olive trees. In her study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Xylella fastidiosa, Clade, Internal transcribed spacer and Zoology is strongly linked to Outbreak. As part of one scientific family, Blanca B. Landa deals mainly with the area of Subspecies, narrowing it down to issues related to the Multilocus sequence typing, and often Specific identification and Typing.

Xylem is a subfield of Botany that Blanca B. Landa tackles. As part of the same scientific family, Blanca B. Landa usually focuses on Botany, concentrating on Isolation and intersecting with DNA sequencing. Her research in Olive trees focuses on subjects like Genetic diversity, which are connected to Biological dispersal, Evolutionary biology, Balearic islands and Ecology.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

Sex Differences in the Gut Microbiota as Potential Determinants of Gender Predisposition to Disease. (30 citations)
Emergence of a Plant Pathogen in Europe Associated with Multiple Intercontinental Introductions. (17 citations)
Culture-Dependent and Culture-Independent Characterization of the Olive Xylem Microbiota: Effect of Sap Extraction Methods. (13 citations)

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

Ecology
Botany
Bacteria

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Subspecies, Xylella fastidiosa, Olive trees, Leaf scorch and Outbreak. Blanca B. Landa has included themes like Biological dispersal, Multilocus sequence typing and Genetic diversity in her Subspecies study. Her studies deal with areas such as Aroma and Verticillium wilt as well as Olive trees.

Her research in Leaf scorch intersects with topics in Phylogenetics, Genome, Sequence analysis and Phylogenetic tree. Blanca B. Landa focuses mostly in the field of Outbreak, narrowing it down to topics relating to Phylogenetic inference and, in certain cases, Botany. Her Botany study combines topics in areas such as Microbiological culture, Methylobacterium, 16S ribosomal RNA, Bacteria and Isolation.
