  • 2003 - Fellow of the American Phytopathological Society

Overview

Clive M. Brasier is affiliated with Forestry Commission England in the United Kingdom and has contributed extensively to research in agricultural and biological sciences, particularly within plant science and molecular biology.

The scientist's research primarily focuses on plant pathogens and resistance, yeast and rust fungi studies, fungal diseases affecting plants, and plant virus research. Other areas of work include plant disease resistance and genetics, forest insect ecology and management, and botany and plant ecology studies.

Brasier has published multiple papers, with notable recent works including:

  • "Phytophthora: an ancient, historic, biologically and structurally cohesive and evolutionarily successful generic concept in need of preservation," 2022, IMA Fungus
  • "A Survey in Natural Forest Ecosystems of Vietnam Reveals High Diversity of both New and Described Phytophthora Taxa including P. ramorum," 2020, Forests
  • "The Destructive Tree Pathogen Phytophthora ramorum Originates from the Laurosilva Forests of East Asia," 2021, Journal of Fungi
  • "Complexities underlying the breeding and deployment of Dutch elm disease resistant elms," 2021, New Forests
  • "Worldwide forest surveys reveal forty-three new species in Phytophthora major Clade 2 with fundamental implications for the evolution and biogeography of the genus and global plant biosecurity," 2024, Studies in Mycology

The scientist has collaborated frequently with multiple researchers. Frequent coauthors include Bruno Scanu, Joan Webber, Thomas Jung, Marília Horta Jung, and Seiji Uematsu.

Brasier's publications have appeared in several scientific venues, with the highest number of contributions in IMA Fungus and Journal of Fungi. Other publication venues include New Forests, Studies in Mycology, and Forests.

Clive M. Brasier's work is positioned at the intersection of plant science and molecular biology, with significant overlap into cell biology, ecology, and endocrinology.

In 2003, Brasier was recognized as a Fellow of the American Phytopathological Society.
