Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Brenda Oppert spends much of her time researching Bacillus thuringiensis, Biochemistry, Insect, Microbiology and Midgut. Her studies in Bacillus thuringiensis integrate themes in fields like Toxin and Enzyme. Her Biochemistry study is mostly concerned with E-64 and Trypsin.

Her Insect research includes elements of Drosophila melanogaster, Drosophila, RNA interference and Host. The Microbiology study combines topics in areas such as RNA, Gene knockdown, Larva and Cry1Ac. Her Midgut study combines topics in areas such as Proteome and Gel electrophoresis.

Her most cited work include:

  • The genome of the model beetle and pest Tribolium castaneum. (1039 citations)
  • PROTEINASE-MEDIATED INSECT RESISTANCE TO BACILLUS THURINGIENSIS TOXINS (263 citations)
  • Insect Resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis Alterations in the Indianmeal Moth Larval Gut Proteome (118 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biochemistry, Bacillus thuringiensis, Gene, Enzyme and Microbiology. Her research integrates issues of Molecular biology and Midgut in her study of Biochemistry. Her Bacillus thuringiensis study incorporates themes from Larva, Botany, Toxin, Biopesticide and Cry1Ac.

As a member of one scientific family, Brenda Oppert mostly works in the field of Larva, focusing on Insect and, on occasion, PEST analysis, Integrated pest management and Function. Her study with Gene involves better knowledge in Genetics. Her Microbiology research incorporates themes from Genetically modified crops and Biotechnology.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (42.86%)
  • Bacillus thuringiensis (28.57%)
  • Gene (21.43%)

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

  • Genome (12.14%)
  • Gene (21.43%)
  • Evolutionary biology (9.29%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Genome, Gene, Evolutionary biology, Insect and Computational biology. The concepts of her Genome study are interwoven with issues in Ecology, Regulatory Pathway and Ribosomal RNA. Her research on Gene concerns the broader Genetics.

The various areas that she examines in her Insect study include Transcriptome, Trichoplusia, Bacillus thuringiensis, Cross-resistance and Helicoverpa armigera. Her Computational biology study deals with Lysis buffer intersecting with Red flour beetle. Her studies deal with areas such as Instar, Larva and RNA interference as well as Gene expression.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • A model species for agricultural pest genomics: The genome of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) (114 citations)
  • The genome of the water strider Gerris buenoi reveals expansions of gene repertoires associated with adaptations to life on the water (28 citations)
  • From immobilization to recovery: Towards the development of a rapid diagnostic indicator for phosphine resistance (15 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Brenda Oppert focuses on Gene, Genome, Red flour beetle, Genetics and Ecology. Her work in the fields of Gene, such as RNA silencing, CRISPR and Eye pigmentation, intersects with other areas such as CpG site and Offspring. Brenda Oppert interconnects Evolutionary biology, Epigenetics and Adaptation in the investigation of issues within Genome.

The Red flour beetle study combines topics in areas such as Veterinary medicine, Bioassay and Insecticide resistance. Her Ecology research includes elements of PEST analysis, Genome evolution and Comparative genomics. Her research on Pesticide often connects related areas such as Insect.
