Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Horticulture

Don Cipollini spends much of his time researching Botany, Ecology, Jasmonic acid, Allelopathy and Systemic acquired resistance. His study in Germination, Alliaria petiolata, Lignin, Phloem and Fraxinus pennsylvanica falls within the category of Botany. His Alliaria petiolata study falls within the topics of Introduced species and Invasive species.

His Phloem research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Emerald ash borer, Buprestidae, Agrilus, Fraxinus and Interspecific competition. His Ecology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Natural and Molecular biology. His Jasmonic acid research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Herbivore, Glucosinolate and Horticulture.

His most cited work include:

  • NOVEL WEAPONS: INVASIVE PLANT SUPPRESSES FUNGAL MUTUALISTS IN AMERICA BUT NOT IN ITS NATIVE EUROPE (411 citations)
  • Salicylic acid inhibits jasmonic acid-induced resistance of Arabidopsis thaliana to Spodoptera exigua (191 citations)
  • Costs of induced responses in plants (188 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Botany, Alliaria petiolata, Emerald ash borer, Ecology and Agronomy. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Jasmonic acid and Horticulture. The various areas that he examines in his Alliaria petiolata study include Powdery mildew, Brassicaceae and Allelopathy.

His study in Allelopathy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Plant ecology, Competition and Native plant. His Emerald ash borer research incorporates elements of Host, Buprestidae, Agrilus and Oleaceae. The concepts of his Agronomy study are interwoven with issues in Inoculation and Nutrient.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (55.74%)
  • Alliaria petiolata (24.59%)
  • Emerald ash borer (22.95%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Emerald ash borer (22.95%)
  • Agrilus (13.11%)
  • Botany (55.74%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Emerald ash borer, Agrilus, Botany, Fraxinus and Horticulture. His studies deal with areas such as Buprestidae, Phloem and Bark as well as Emerald ash borer. His Agrilus research integrates issues from Host and Introduced species.

He regularly ties together related areas like Intraspecific competition in his Botany studies. His work deals with themes such as PEST analysis and Herbivore, which intersect with Fraxinus. His work in the fields of Horticulture, such as Tagetes patula, overlaps with other areas such as Thiophene.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Progress and gaps in understanding mechanisms of ash tree resistance to emerald ash borer, a model for wood‐boring insects that kill angiosperms (54 citations)
  • Glucosinolate diversity within a phylogenetic framework of the tribe Cardamineae (Brassicaceae) unraveled with HPLC-MS/MS and NMR-based analytical distinction of 70 desulfoglucosinolates (39 citations)
  • A review of garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata, Brassicaceae) as an allelopathic plant (19 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Enzyme

Don Cipollini focuses on Fraxinus, Emerald ash borer, Agrilus, Botany and Ecology. In his research on the topic of Agrilus, Herbivore and Insect is strongly related with Host. His work on Bark is typically connected to Methyl jasmonate as part of general Botany study, connecting several disciplines of science.

His Bark study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Canopy, Larva, Kairomone and Introduced species. His work on Alliaria petiolata, Ecology and Invasive species as part of general Ecology study is frequently linked to Context, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His study focuses on the intersection of Allelopathy and fields such as Brassicaceae with connections in the field of Crucifer and Biochemistry.
