Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Fungus

Edo Chalutz mainly focuses on Botany, Botrytis cinerea, Postharvest, Fungi imperfecti and Penicillium expansum. His work deals with themes such as Ripening, Lycopersicon and Alternaria alternata, which intersect with Botrytis cinerea. Postharvest is a subfield of Horticulture that he explores.

As part of one scientific family, Edo Chalutz deals mainly with the area of Horticulture, narrowing it down to issues related to the Moho, and often Fruits and vegetables and Legume. Edo Chalutz interconnects Pichia guilliermondii, Penicillium digitatum and Debaryomyces hansenii in the investigation of issues within Fungi imperfecti. His work carried out in the field of Penicillium expansum brings together such families of science as [Candida] oleophila, Botrytis and Microbiology.

His most cited work include:

  • Mode of action of the postharvest biocontrol yeast, Pichia guilliermondii. I. Characterization of attachment to Botrytis cinerea (225 citations)
  • Characterization of the biocontrol activity of Debaryomyces hansenii in the control of Penicillium digitatum on grapefruit (206 citations)
  • Potential of induced resistance to control postharvest diseases of fruits and vegetables (189 citations)

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

Edo Chalutz focuses on Horticulture, Botany, Postharvest, Penicillium digitatum and Biochemistry. His Horticulture research incorporates themes from Fruits and vegetables and Agronomy. In general Botany, his work in Rutaceae, Fungi imperfecti and Ripening is often linked to Ultraviolet light linking many areas of study.

His research integrates issues of Botrytis cinerea, Biotechnology, Biological pest control and Yeast in his study of Postharvest. His Penicillium digitatum research includes elements of Penicillium italicum, Monilinia fructicola, Fungus and Methionine. His study looks at the intersection of Fungus and topics like Microbiology with Penicillium expansum.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Horticulture (46.77%)
  • Botany (41.94%)
  • Postharvest (33.87%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1994-2011)?

  • Horticulture (46.77%)
  • Postharvest (33.87%)
  • Botany (41.94%)

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

Edo Chalutz mainly investigates Horticulture, Postharvest, Botany, Penicillium digitatum and Yeast. His work in the fields of Horticulture, such as Fusarium, Seed treatment and Citrus fruit, intersects with other areas such as Hormesis. His studies in Postharvest integrate themes in fields like Biotechnology and Biological pest control.

His work on Germ tube and Ripening as part of general Botany study is frequently connected to Ultraviolet light, Lesion and Rhizopus soft rot, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. As a part of the same scientific study, Edo Chalutz usually deals with the Penicillium digitatum, concentrating on Monilinia fructicola and frequently concerns with Debaryomyces hansenii and Pome. His work on Pichia guilliermondii as part of general Yeast research is frequently linked to Agricultural commodity, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

Between 1994 and 2011, his most popular works were:

  • Commercial Testing of Aspire: A Yeast Preparation for the Biological Control of Postharvest Decay of Citrus (189 citations)
  • Effects of Ca2+ and Mg2+ on Botrytis cinerea and Penicillium expansum in vitro and on the biocontrol activity of Candida oleophila (137 citations)
  • Influence of CaCl2 on Penicillium digitatum, Grapefruit Peel Tissue, and Biocontrol Activity of Pichia guilliermondii (117 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Fungus

Edo Chalutz mostly deals with Postharvest, Penicillium digitatum, Spore germination, Microbiology and Monilinia fructicola. His Postharvest research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Fungicide and Metalaxyl. His Penicillium digitatum study is concerned with the field of Botany as a whole.

The various areas that Edo Chalutz examines in his Spore germination study include Penicillium expansum and Botrytis cinerea, [Candida] oleophila. His Microbiology study incorporates themes from Ripening, Inoculation, Debaryomyces hansenii and Fungus. His Horticulture study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Biotechnology and Penicillium.
