Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Bacteria

Fiona M. Doohan spends much of her time researching Fusarium, Fungi imperfecti, Microbiology, Fusarium culmorum and Trichothecene. Her Fusarium research incorporates elements of Mycotoxin, Competition and Blight. Her Mycotoxin research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Plant disease resistance, Genetics and Agronomy.

She combines subjects such as Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bacteria and Gene with her study of Microbiology. Head blight, Significant negative correlation, Cultivar and Pseudomonas frederiksbergensis is closely connected to Inoculation in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Fusarium culmorum. Her work carried out in the field of Trichothecene brings together such families of science as Signal transduction, Cell biology, Programmed cell death and Vomitoxin.

Her most cited work include:

  • Effects of trichothecene mycotoxins on eukaryotic cells: a review. (413 citations)
  • Influence of Climatic Factors on Fusarium Species Pathogenic to Cereals (289 citations)
  • The role of local environment and geographical distance in determining community composition of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi at the landscape scale (180 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Fusarium, Genetics, Botany, Gene and Agronomy. Her Fusarium study incorporates themes from Mycotoxin and Fungi imperfecti, Microbiology. Her Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Arabidopsis thaliana, Host, Transformation and Cell biology.

Her studies deal with areas such as Arid and Biomass as well as Agronomy. Her Fusarium culmorum research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Pseudomonas fluorescens, Blight and Head blight. Her Trichothecene study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Abiotic stress and Vomitoxin.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Fusarium (32.79%)
  • Genetics (23.77%)
  • Botany (22.95%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Genetics (23.77%)
  • Gene (22.13%)
  • Septoria (9.84%)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Genetics, Gene, Septoria, Pathogen and Agronomy. Fusarium, Gene expression and Orphan gene are subfields of Genetics in which her conducts study. In her work, Biotic stress and Inoculation is strongly intertwined with Mycotoxin, which is a subfield of Fusarium.

Fiona M. Doohan interconnects Disease and Effector in the investigation of issues within Septoria. Her studies in Pathogen integrate themes in fields like Host, Phytophthora infestans and Horticulture. In general Agronomy, her work in Crop yield, Crop and Cultivar is often linked to Hordeum murinum linking many areas of study.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • From Concept to Commerce: Developing a Successful Fungal Endophyte Inoculant for Agricultural Crops. (32 citations)
  • A wheat NAC interacts with an orphan protein and enhances resistance to Fusarium head blight disease (15 citations)
  • A wheat cytochrome P450 enhances both resistance to deoxynivalenol and grain yield (15 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Bacteria

Her primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Gene, Fusarium, Gene family and Gene expression. Fiona M. Doohan has included themes like Trophic level, Disease and Septoria in her Genetics study. Her Fusarium study frequently involves adjacent topics like Orphan gene.

Fiona M. Doohan has researched Orphan gene in several fields, including Wild type and Transcription factor, Transactivation. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biotic stress, Mycotoxin and Phylogenetic tree. The concepts of her Mycotoxin study are interwoven with issues in Protein kinase A and Kinase activity.
