Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Fungus

Gary E. Harman mainly focuses on Trichoderma harzianum, Trichoderma, Botany, Biological pest control and Endochitinase activity. His Trichoderma harzianum research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Fungi imperfecti, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Botrytis cinerea and Pythium ultimum. His Trichoderma study is concerned with the larger field of Biotechnology.

His work deals with themes such as Plant disease resistance, Colonization, Abiotic component and Horticulture, which intersect with Botany. His research in Biological pest control intersects with topics in Natural enemies and Pythium. His studies deal with areas such as cDNA library, Open reading frame and Chromatography, Agarose as well as Endochitinase activity.

His most cited work include:

  • Trichoderma species--opportunistic, avirulent plant symbionts. (2204 citations)
  • Myths and Dogmas of Biocontrol Changes in Perceptions Derived from Research on Trichoderma harzinum T-22. (749 citations)
  • Induced Systemic Resistance and Plant Responses to Fungal Biocontrol Agents (700 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Trichoderma harzianum, Trichoderma, Microbiology and Biological pest control. His research investigates the link between Botany and topics such as Plant disease resistance that cross with problems in Genetically modified crops and Apple scab. His Trichoderma harzianum study combines topics in areas such as Botrytis cinerea, Endochitinase activity, Agronomy and Strain.

While the research belongs to areas of Trichoderma, Gary E. Harman spends his time largely on the problem of Fungi imperfecti, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Protoplast. His Microbiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Enzyme, Chitinase, Cellulase and Transformation. He has included themes like Biotechnology, Natural enemies and Colonization in his Biological pest control study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (36.16%)
  • Trichoderma harzianum (31.64%)
  • Trichoderma (27.12%)
