  • 2003 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Ecology
  • Botany

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Poaceae, Biotechnology, Cultivar, Agronomy and Botany. His research integrates issues of Plant disease resistance, Canopy and Horticulture in his study of Poaceae. The concepts of his Biotechnology study are interwoven with issues in Agricultural diversification, Cultural control, Oryza sativa, Cropping system and Paddy field.

His Cultivar research includes themes of Host specificity and Agriculture, Sustainable agriculture, Crop management. His work in the fields of Agronomy, such as Blight, Fungicide, Panicle and Leaf wetness, intersects with other areas such as Relative humidity. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Host and Genetic variation.

His most cited work include:

  • Genetic diversity and disease control in rice (1151 citations)
  • Genetic diversity and disease control in rice (1151 citations)
  • USE OF MULTILINE CULTIVARS AND CULTIVAR MIXTURES FOR DISEASE MANAGEMENT (459 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Cultivar, Botany, Poaceae and Ecology. His Cultivar research integrates issues from Plant disease resistance, Stripe rust, Inoculation and Virulence. His work deals with themes such as Plant ecology, Field experiment and Fungi imperfecti, which intersect with Poaceae.

Christopher C. Mundt works mostly in the field of Field experiment, limiting it down to topics relating to Cultural control and, in certain cases, Magnaporthe grisea, Agricultural diversification, Paddy field, Cropping system and Oryza sativa. Christopher C. Mundt focuses mostly in the field of Magnaporthe grisea, narrowing it down to matters related to Monoculture and, in some cases, Biotechnology and Crop. His work carried out in the field of Ecology brings together such families of science as Evolutionary biology, Biological dispersal and Outbreak.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (32.20%)
  • Cultivar (31.36%)
  • Botany (26.27%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Agronomy (32.20%)
  • Resistance (16.10%)
  • Biological dispersal (14.41%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Resistance, Biological dispersal, Ecology and Fungicide. His work on Club wheat as part of general Agronomy study is frequently linked to Triazole, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Resistance study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Strobilurin, Spatial variability, Quantitative trait locus, Gene and Seedling.

His research investigates the connection between Seedling and topics such as Greenhouse that intersect with problems in Cultivar. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cropping system, Crop, Ageratum conyzoides, Weed and Intercropping in addition to Cultivar. His Biological dispersal research includes elements of Urediniospore, Inoculation, Propagule, Livestock disease and Outbreak.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Pyramiding for Resistance Durability: Theory and Practice. (39 citations)
  • Effect of Plant Age and Leaf Position on Susceptibility to Wheat Stripe Rust (12 citations)
  • A population-level invasion by transposable elements in a fungal pathogen (11 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Ecology
  • Botany

Christopher C. Mundt spends much of his time researching Resistance, Agronomy, Inoculation, Urediniospore and Biological dispersal. His studies in Resistance integrate themes in fields like Quantitative trait locus, Plant disease resistance, Stripe rust and Facultative. His Agronomy study incorporates themes from Propagule, Pathogen, Plant disease epidemiology and Horticulture.

His Inoculation study combines topics in areas such as Annulus, Canopy, Transect and Spore. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Host and Urediniospore.
