Bryan A. Bailey interconnects Plant disease resistance, Moniliophthora perniciosa and Germination in the investigation of issues within Moniliophthora roreri. His Phytophthora palmivora study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Botany. He combines subjects such as Plant defense against herbivory and Internal transcribed spacer with his study of Botany.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Genome and secretome analysis of the hemibiotrophic fungal pathogen, Moniliophthora roreri, which causes frosty pod rot disease of cacao: mechanisms of the biotrophic and necrotrophic phases (71 citations)
  • Phytophthora megakarya and Phytophthora palmivora, closely related causal agents of cacao black pod rot, underwent increases in genome sizes and gene numbers by different mechanisms (38 citations)
  • PCR-based identification of cacao black pod causal agents and identification of biological factors possibly contributing to Phytophthora megakarya's field dominance in West Africa (23 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Enzyme

Bryan A. Bailey focuses on Theobroma, Phytophthora megakarya, Phytophthora palmivora, Phytophthora and Gene. He studies Moniliophthora, a branch of Theobroma. The concepts of his Phytophthora study are interwoven with issues in Mycology and Broom.

His Gene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Moniliophthora roreri and Microbiology. Bryan A. Bailey has included themes like Moniliophthora perniciosa and Botany in his Plant defense against herbivory study. His Botany study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Inoculation.
