Christopher L. Schardl

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Gene
• Botany
• DNA

Christopher L. Schardl mostly deals with Botany, Epichloë, Neotyphodium, Endophyte and Genetics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Host and Ascomycota. His studies deal with areas such as Lolium, Ecology, Sexual reproduction and Clavicipitaceae as well as Epichloë.

In his research on the topic of Neotyphodium, Interspecific hybridization, Taxon and Subspecies is strongly related with Taxonomy. His Endophyte research incorporates elements of Lolium perenne, Festuca and Festuca arundinacea. Christopher L. Schardl interconnects Claviceps purpurea and Colletotrichum orbiculare in the investigation of issues within Gene.

His most cited work include:

• Evolutionary origins and ecological consequences of endophyte symbiosis with grasses. (772 citations)
• SYMBIOSES OF GRASSES WITH SEEDBORNE FUNGAL ENDOPHYTES (625 citations)
• Lifestyle transitions in plant pathogenic Colletotrichum fungi deciphered by genome and transcriptome analyses (512 citations)

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

Christopher L. Schardl mainly investigates Botany, Epichloë, Endophyte, Gene and Neotyphodium. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Host, Clavicipitaceae and Pooideae. Within one scientific family, Christopher L. Schardl focuses on topics pertaining to Phylogenetics under Epichloë, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Phylogenetic tree.

His Endophyte research includes themes of Acremonium, Ecology, Lolium perenne and Festuca arundinacea. His research integrates issues of Claviceps purpurea and Molecular biology in his study of Gene. His Neotyphodium study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Bromus, Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense and Pyrrolizidine.

He most often published in these fields:

• Botany (46.26%)
• Epichloë (32.71%)
• Endophyte (28.50%)

• Epichloë (32.71%)
• Botany (46.26%)
• Gene (26.17%)

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

Christopher L. Schardl spends much of his time researching Epichloë, Botany, Gene, Endophyte and Genetics. His Epichloë study combines topics in areas such as Phylogenetics, Hyphal growth, Microbiology and Biochemistry. His Botany research includes elements of Host and Clavicipitaceae.

His Gene research focuses on Ergovaline and how it connects with Transformation, Marker gene and Forage. The study incorporates disciplines such as Phylogenetic tree, Transcriptome, Pooideae, Festuca arundinacea and Lolium perenne in addition to Endophyte. His work carried out in the field of Neotyphodium brings together such families of science as Subspecies, Lineage, Monophyly, Bromus and Phleum alpinum.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Nomenclatural realignment of Neotyphodium species with genus Epichloë (258 citations)
• Endophytic Epichloë species and their grass hosts: from evolution to applications. (81 citations)
• Genetics, genomics and evolution of ergot alkaloid diversity. (53 citations)

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

• Gene
• DNA
• Botany

His primary scientific interests are in Epichloë, Gene, Botany, Endophyte and Phylogenetics. Christopher L. Schardl is involved in the study of Epichloë that focuses on Loline alkaloid in particular. The Gene study combines topics in areas such as Evolutionary biology and Lolium perenne.

His Botany study often links to related topics such as Microbiology. His Endophyte study incorporates themes from Mutualism, Ecology, Coevolution, Transcriptome and Genetic variation. Christopher L. Schardl has researched Phylogenetics in several fields, including Clavicipitaceae, Ecosystem and Phylogenetic tree.
