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

Dov Prusky mostly deals with Horticulture, Postharvest, Microbiology, Penicillium expansum and Food science. The Horticulture study combines topics in areas such as Wound healing and Suberin. The various areas that Dov Prusky examines in his Postharvest study include Superoxide dismutase, Catalase, Trichothecium roseum, Alternaria alternata and Titratable acid.

His research in Microbiology intersects with topics in Solanum, Secondary metabolism and Virulence. His Penicillium expansum research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Patulin and Penicillium. The subject of his Ripening research is within the realm of Botany.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • How alkalinization drives fungal pathogenicity. (37 citations)
  • LaeA regulation of secondary metabolism modulates virulence in Penicillium expansum and is mediated by sucrose. (33 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Botany

His main research concerns Penicillium expansum, Patulin, Microbiology, Postharvest and Virulence. His work on Pathogenicity as part of his general Microbiology study is frequently connected to Sodium bicarbonate, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His Postharvest study contributes to a more complete understanding of Horticulture.

His work on Ripening, Alternaria alternata and Lasiodiplodia theobromae as part of general Horticulture research is frequently linked to Internal transcribed spacer, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Virulence study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Pathogen, Gene family, Toxin metabolism, Catabolite repression and Secondary metabolism. His study in Pathogen is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Mutant and Botany.
