  • 1968 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Fungus

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Endophyte, Microbiology, Fungus and Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense. His studies deal with areas such as Microorganism and Bioassay as well as Botany. The various areas that Gary A. Strobel examines in his Endophyte study include Muscodor, Muscodor albus, Biotechnology, Pestalotiopsis and Fungi imperfecti.

Gary A. Strobel has included themes like Amino acid, Biochemistry and Bacteria in his Microbiology study. His Fungus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Phoma, Phloem, Cercospora and Spore. Gary A. Strobel combines subjects such as Biodiversity, Identification, Microbial ecology, Functional diversity and Plant ecology with his study of Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense.

His most cited work include:

  • Bioprospecting for Microbial Endophytes and Their Natural Products (1386 citations)
  • Taxol and Taxane Production by Taxomyces andreanae, an Endophytic Fungus of Pacific Yew (1181 citations)
  • Natural products from endophytic microorganisms. (1007 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Microbiology, Endophyte, Biochemistry and Fungus. His study in Botany is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Bioassay, Phytotoxin and Bacteria. His research investigates the connection with Phytotoxin and areas like Stereochemistry which intersect with concerns in Biological activity.

His Microbiology research incorporates themes from Strain and Streptomyces. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Endophyte, Muscodor is strongly linked to Muscodor albus. His Fungi imperfecti research includes themes of Phytotoxicity, Weed and Drechslera.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (45.53%)
  • Microbiology (20.60%)
  • Endophyte (17.62%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Botany (45.53%)
  • Endophyte (17.62%)
  • Fungus (16.26%)

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

Gary A. Strobel focuses on Botany, Endophyte, Fungus, Organic chemistry and Microbiology. His research combines Ribosomal DNA and Botany. His work carried out in the field of Endophyte brings together such families of science as Rhizoctonia solani, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Potato dextrose agar, Muscodor albus and Phytophthora palmivora.

His Fungus research incorporates elements of Group, Strain, Conidium, Hypha and Diaporthe. As a member of one scientific family, Gary A. Strobel mostly works in the field of Strain, focusing on Terpenoid and, on occasion, Terpene and Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense. His studies in Microbiology integrate themes in fields like Nonribosomal peptide, Bacillibactin, Surfactin, Polyketide and Actinobacteria.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Diversity and Anti-Microbial Activity of Endophytic Actinomycetes Isolated from Medicinal Plants in Panxi Plateau, China (125 citations)
  • An endophytic Phomopsis sp. possessing bioactivity and fuel potential with its volatile organic compounds. (100 citations)
  • Hypoxylon sp., an endophyte of Persea indica, producing 1,8-cineole and other bioactive volatiles with fuel potential. (97 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Fungus

Gary A. Strobel mainly focuses on Botany, Endophyte, Fungus, Terpenoid and Colletotrichum. Gary A. Strobel is involved in the study of Botany that focuses on Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense in particular. His Endophyte research includes elements of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Potato dextrose agar, Muscodor albus, Phoma and Rhizosphere.

His Fungus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cercospora and Microbiology, Hypha. His Terpenoid study also includes fields such as

  • Organic chemistry which is related to area like Microorganism,
  • Strain which is related to area like Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. The Colletotrichum study which covers Verticillium that intersects with Botrytis, Phomopsis, Pythium and Trichoderma.
