Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Abscisic acid, Phytophthora cinnamomi, Mesoporous silica and Arabidopsis. His work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as Chloroplast, Inoculation, DNA-binding protein and Microbiology. His Microbiology research includes elements of Virulence and Pseudomonadaceae.

His study in Abscisic acid is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Hypocotyl, Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and Phytophthora sojae. David M. Cahill interconnects Biodiversity, Epacris, Phycomycetes and Banksia in the investigation of issues within Phytophthora cinnamomi. His Arabidopsis research integrates issues from Arabidopsis thaliana, Regulation of gene expression, Mediator and Pseudomonas syringae.

His most cited work include:

  • Suppression by ABA of salicylic acid and lignin accumulation and the expression of multiple genes, in Arabidopsis infected with Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (211 citations)
  • Spatial prediction of rufous bristlebird habitat in a coastal heathland: a GIS-based approach (202 citations)
  • Abscisic acid influences the susceptibility of Arabidopsis thaliana to Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato and Peronospora parasitica. (202 citations)

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

David M. Cahill mainly investigates Botany, Phytophthora cinnamomi, Microbiology, Ecology and Arabidopsis. The concepts of his Botany study are interwoven with issues in Inoculation, Horticulture and Pathogen. His Phytophthora cinnamomi research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Zoospore and Resistance.

He has researched Arabidopsis in several fields, including Arabidopsis thaliana, Abscisic acid and Pseudomonas syringae. His studies deal with areas such as Salicylic acid, Gene expression and Cell biology as well as Arabidopsis thaliana. His Abscisic acid research includes elements of Hypocotyl, Phytophthora sojae and Glyceollin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (42.59%)
  • Phytophthora cinnamomi (30.25%)
  • Microbiology (14.20%)

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

  • Botany (42.59%)
  • Phytophthora cinnamomi (30.25%)
  • Arabidopsis thaliana (9.88%)

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

Botany, Phytophthora cinnamomi, Arabidopsis thaliana, CRISPR and Microbiology are his primary areas of study. David M. Cahill is interested in Callose, which is a field of Botany. The subject of his Phytophthora cinnamomi research is within the realm of Phytophthora.

His work deals with themes such as Photosynthesis, Arabidopsis and 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, which intersect with Arabidopsis thaliana. His Arabidopsis study combines topics in areas such as Glutathione, Abscisic acid and Controlled release. His Microbiology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Efflux, Auxin and Plant defense against herbivory.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Progress on Azadirachta indica Based Biopesticides in Replacing Synthetic Toxic Pesticides. (57 citations)
  • Vanillin mediated green synthesis and application of gold nanoparticles for reversal of antimicrobial resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates (46 citations)
  • Microbial mechanisms controlling the rhizosphere effect of ryegrass on degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in an aged-contaminated agricultural soil (42 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Soil water, Rhizosphere, Bacteria, Phytoremediation and Botany. David M. Cahill has included themes like Biodegradation and Eisenia fetida in his Soil water study. David M. Cahill interconnects Environmental chemistry, Bioassay and Earthworm in the investigation of issues within Biodegradation.
