Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

Gert H. J. Kema mainly investigates Genetics, Mycosphaerella graminicola, Botany, Septoria and Gene. His study in the field of Genome, Balancer chromosome and Genomics is also linked to topics like Genomic library and Genetic recombination. His Mycosphaerella graminicola research includes themes of Host, Pathosystem, Graminicola and Virulence.

Gert H. J. Kema interconnects Plant genetics, Musa balbisiana and Lineage in the investigation of issues within Botany. His Septoria research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Locus, Mating type, Mycosphaerella and Homology. His research integrates issues of Cladosporium and Effector in his study of Gene.

His most cited work include:

  • The banana (Musa acuminata) genome and the evolution of monocotyledonous plants (687 citations)
  • Azole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus: a side-effect of environmental fungicide use? (412 citations)
  • Finished Genome of the Fungal Wheat Pathogen Mycosphaerella graminicola Reveals Dispensome Structure, Chromosome Plasticity, and Stealth Pathogenesis (401 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genetics, Mycosphaerella graminicola, Gene, Botany and Septoria. His study in Mycosphaerella extends to Genetics with its themes. Gert H. J. Kema combines subjects such as Quantitative trait locus, Pathosystem, Graminicola, Mating type and Virulence with his study of Mycosphaerella graminicola.

His study looks at the intersection of Virulence and topics like Microbiology with Fungicide and Mutant. The Gene study combines topics in areas such as Pathogen and Effector. Gert H. J. Kema focuses mostly in the field of Septoria, narrowing it down to matters related to Plant disease resistance and, in some cases, Horticulture and Agronomy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (42.35%)
  • Mycosphaerella graminicola (28.24%)
  • Gene (24.12%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Genetics (42.35%)
  • Gene (24.12%)
  • Fusarium wilt (10.00%)

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

Gert H. J. Kema spends much of his time researching Genetics, Gene, Fusarium wilt, Panama disease and Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense. His Gene research incorporates themes from Pathogen, Fungicide and Septoria. Panama disease is a subfield of Botany that Gert H. J. Kema tackles.

Mycosphaerella is the focus of his Botany research. His work in Virulence addresses subjects such as Microbiology, which are connected to disciplines such as Fungal protein. As a part of the same scientific family, Gert H. J. Kema mostly works in the field of Genome evolution, focusing on DNA transposon and, on occasion, Mycosphaerella graminicola.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Transgenic Cavendish bananas with resistance to Fusarium wilt tropical race 4. (70 citations)
  • Phylogeny and genetic diversity of the banana Fusarium wilt pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense in the Indonesian centre of origin (48 citations)
  • New geographical insights of the latest expansion of fusarium oxysporum f.Sp. Cubense tropical race 4 into the greater mekong subregion (44 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

His main research concerns Fusarium wilt, Fusarium oxysporum, Genetics, Panama disease and Fusarium. His is involved in several facets of Genetics study, as is seen by his studies on Gene, Gene density, Ploidy, Meiotic drive and Inheritance. As part of his studies on Gene, Gert H. J. Kema often connects relevant areas like Fungicide.

Gert H. J. Kema works mostly in the field of Fusarium, limiting it down to topics relating to Cavendish banana and, in certain cases, Mutant, Genetic variation, Virulence, Fungal protein and Microbiology, as a part of the same area of interest. His Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense study is concerned with the field of Botany as a whole. The study incorporates disciplines such as Genome, Polymerase chain reaction, Genotype and Fungal genetics in addition to Botany.
