Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Fungus
  • Enzyme

Giancarlo Perrone mainly focuses on Aspergillus, Botany, Ochratoxin A, Ochratoxin and Mycotoxin. Microbiology covers Giancarlo Perrone research in Aspergillus. His research brings together the fields of Mobile genetic elements and Botany.

His research in Ochratoxin intersects with topics in Ochratoxins and Wine. His Fusarium research extends to the thematically linked field of Mycotoxin. His Genus research incorporates elements of Biodiversity, Clade and Aflatoxin.

His most cited work include:

  • Toxigenic Fusarium species and mycotoxins associated with head blight in small-grain cereals in Europe (617 citations)
  • Phylogeny, identification and nomenclature of the genus Aspergillus (480 citations)
  • Comparative genome sequence analysis underscores mycoparasitism as the ancestral life style of Trichoderma (433 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Aspergillus, Ochratoxin A, Mycotoxin and Food science. The study incorporates disciplines such as Potato dextrose agar, Pathogenicity and Horticulture in addition to Botany. His Aspergillus research includes themes of Evolutionary biology, Biodiversity, Genus and Aspergillus niger.

In his research on the topic of Ochratoxin A, DNA is strongly related with Gene. As a part of the same scientific family, Giancarlo Perrone mostly works in the field of Mycotoxin, focusing on Aflatoxin and, on occasion, Aspergillus flavus. His Fusarium research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Fungi imperfecti and Agronomy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (37.50%)
  • Aspergillus (33.82%)
  • Ochratoxin A (30.15%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Mycotoxin (26.47%)
  • Ochratoxin A (30.15%)
  • Food science (16.18%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Mycotoxin, Ochratoxin A, Food science, Horticulture and Aspergillus. His Mycotoxin research focuses on Food spoilage and how it connects with Critical control point, Biotechnology, Mycotoxin contamination and Curing. The concepts of his Ochratoxin A study are interwoven with issues in Vineyard and Contamination.

His work on Wine as part of general Food science study is frequently linked to Ecophysiology, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His studies in Horticulture integrate themes in fields like Pesticide, Disease susceptibility and Resistance. His research investigates the connection between Aspergillus and topics such as Inoculation that intersect with problems in Botany.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Fungal planet description sheets: 868–950 (35 citations)
  • New ECCO model documents for Material Deposit and Transfer Agreements in compliance with the Nagoya Protocol (14 citations)
  • Preservation, Characterization and Exploitation of Microbial Biodiversity: The Perspective of the Italian Network of Culture Collections (13 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Fungus
  • Enzyme

Giancarlo Perrone mainly focuses on Biodiversity, Material transfer agreement, Nagoya Protocol, Traceability and Best practice. His Biodiversity research is included under the broader classification of Ecology. His Material transfer agreement research includes elements of Code of conduct, Quality, Legislation and Knowledge management.
