Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

Charles W. Bacon mostly deals with Botany, Endophyte, Fusarium, Festuca arundinacea and Poaceae. Charles W. Bacon is interested in Fungus, which is a branch of Botany. Charles W. Bacon interconnects Acremonium, Epichloë coenophiala, Germination, Pasture and Seedling in the investigation of issues within Endophyte.

His Fusarium study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Antibiosis, Mycotoxin, Kidney and Toxicity. His Mycotoxin research includes themes of Gibberella fujikuroi and Fungi imperfecti. His Festuca arundinacea research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Horticulture and Nitrate reductase.

His most cited work include:

  • Epichloë typhina from toxic tall fescue grasses. (461 citations)
  • Molecular phylogeny of Acremonium and its taxonomic implications. (342 citations)
  • Effect of the Tall Fescue Endophyte on Plant Response to Environmental Stress (336 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Botany, Fusarium, Endophyte, Mycotoxin and Fumonisin. His work on Poaceae as part of his general Botany study is frequently connected to Clavicipitaceae, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His research integrates issues of Fungus, Fungi imperfecti, Microbiology and Toxicity in his study of Fusarium.

His research in Endophyte intersects with topics in Acremonium, Agronomy, Drought tolerance, Symbiosis and Festuca arundinacea. The study incorporates disciplines such as Toxin, Bioassay and Fusaric acid in addition to Mycotoxin. In his study, In vivo is strongly linked to Biochemistry, which falls under the umbrella field of Fumonisin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (47.51%)
  • Fusarium (37.57%)
  • Endophyte (26.52%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2021)?

  • Botany (47.51%)
  • Fusarium (37.57%)
  • Endophyte (26.52%)

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

Charles W. Bacon mainly investigates Botany, Fusarium, Endophyte, Fumonisin and Microbiology. Charles W. Bacon has researched Botany in several fields, including Host, Epichloë and Neotyphodium. The Fusarium study combines topics in areas such as Agronomy, Seedling, Mycotoxin, Fungi imperfecti and Fungus.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Nematode, Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense and Quorum sensing. His Fumonisin study incorporates themes from Inoculation, Fumonisin B1, Ceramide synthase, Antibiosis and Fusaric acid. His Microbiology research integrates issues from Bacteria, Bacillus, Biological pest control, Bacillus mojavensis and Transformation.

Between 2005 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Nomenclatural realignment of Neotyphodium species with genus Epichloë (258 citations)
  • Clavicipitaceous endophytes: Their ability to enhance resistance of grasses to multiple stresses (208 citations)
  • One Fungus, One Name: Defining the Genus Fusarium in a Scientifically Robust Way That Preserves Longstanding Use (152 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Fusarium, Endophyte, Host and Fumonisin. His work in Botany addresses subjects such as Neotyphodium, which are connected to disciplines such as Epichloë. His Fusarium study combines topics in areas such as Species complex, Microbiology, Mycotoxin, Lipopeptide and Peptide.

Charles W. Bacon interconnects Agronomy and Food contaminant in the investigation of issues within Mycotoxin. His Endophyte research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Phytoremediation, Microbial ecology, Bacteria, Competition and Transformation. His work deals with themes such as Sphingolipid, Fungus and Seedling, which intersect with Fumonisin.
