Overview

Dominik Begerow is affiliated with Ruhr University Bochum in Germany. Their research spans multiple areas within biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and agricultural and biological sciences, with a strong focus on plant science, cell biology, molecular biology, and ecology-related fields.

Their main topics of study include plant pathogens and fungal diseases, mycorrhizal fungi and plant interactions, yeasts and rust fungi studies, lichen and fungal ecology, plant and fungal interactions research, and fungal and yeast genetics research.

Recent notable publications include:

  • Fungal diversity notes 1387-1511: taxonomic and phylogenetic contributions on genera and species of fungal taxa, 2021, Fungal Diversity
  • Fungal diversity notes 1512-1610: taxonomic and phylogenetic contributions on genera and species of fungal taxa, 2022, Fungal Diversity
  • Species diversity of Basidiomycota, 2022, Fungal Diversity
  • Repositories for Taxonomic Data: Where We Are and What is Missing, 2020, Systematic Biology
  • The evolving species concepts used for yeasts: from phenotypes and genomes to speciation networks, 2021, Fungal Diversity

Frequent co-authors in Begerow's work include:

  • Martin Kemler
  • Teodor T. Denchev
  • Cvetomir M. Denchev
  • Frederick Witfeld
  • Marco Alexandre Guerreiro

Begerow's publications have appeared primarily in the following venues:

  • Fungal Diversity
  • Mycological Progress
  • Studies in Mycology
