Gianfranco Romanazzi

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Botany
• Fungus
• Horticulture

Gianfranco Romanazzi mainly investigates Postharvest, Botrytis cinerea, Preharvest, Chitosan and Horticulture. His Postharvest research incorporates elements of Food science and Fungicide. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biotechnology and Resistance.

Food preservation, Antimicrobial, Nutraceutical and Functional food is closely connected to Shelf life in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Chitosan. His work on Inoculation as part of general Horticulture research is frequently linked to Rhizopus, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His research investigates the connection between Blue mold and topics such as Vineyard that intersect with issues in Berry and Veraison.

His most cited work include:

• Effects of Pre‐ and Postharvest Chitosan Treatments to Control Storage Grey Mold of Table Grapes (224 citations)
• Recent advances on the use of natural and safe alternatives to conventional methods to control postharvest gray mold of table grapes (157 citations)
• Induced resistance to control postharvest decay of fruit and vegetables (148 citations)

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

Gianfranco Romanazzi spends much of his time researching Horticulture, Postharvest, Botany, Fungicide and Botrytis cinerea. His research investigates the connection between Horticulture and topics such as Agronomy that intersect with problems in Stomatal conductance. Gianfranco Romanazzi works mostly in the field of Postharvest, limiting it down to topics relating to Chitosan and, in certain cases, Food science, as a part of the same area of interest.

The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Inoculation and Phytoplasma. His Fungicide study deals with Biotechnology intersecting with Disease management. His research in Botrytis cinerea intersects with topics in Mold and Blue mold.

He most often published in these fields:

• Horticulture (48.85%)
• Postharvest (33.59%)
• Botany (29.01%)

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

• Horticulture (48.85%)
• Phytoplasma (16.03%)
• Fungicide (25.95%)

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

Gianfranco Romanazzi mainly focuses on Horticulture, Phytoplasma, Fungicide, Candidatus Phytoplasma solani and Postharvest. The study incorporates disciplines such as Lavandula dentata and Shelf life in addition to Horticulture. In his research on the topic of Phytoplasma, Sequence analysis, Disease management and Identification is strongly related with Outbreak.

His Fungicide research integrates issues from Chitosan, Food science, Titratable acid, Spore germination and Botrytis cinerea. His work carried out in the field of Botrytis cinerea brings together such families of science as Antimicrobial and Penicillium. His studies in Postharvest integrate themes in fields like Colletotrichum, Temperate climate and Chitinase.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Effects of chitosan treatment on avocado postharvest diseases and expression of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, chitinase and lipoxygenase genes (22 citations)
• A review of the use of biostimulants in the vineyard for improved grape and wine quality: effects on prevention of grapevine diseases. (21 citations)
• Quality and safety attributes on shredded carrots by using Origanum majorana and ascorbic acid (13 citations)

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

• Botany
• Horticulture
• Fungus

Gianfranco Romanazzi focuses on Horticulture, Postharvest, Phytoplasma, Gene and Antioxidant. Many of his research projects under Horticulture are closely connected to Nutrient and Leaching with Nutrient and Leaching, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His research integrates issues of Chitosan, Fungicide and Spore germination in his study of Postharvest.

The concepts of his Fungicide study are interwoven with issues in Preservative, Colletotrichum and Shelf life. His Phytoplasma research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cartography and Disease progression. Gianfranco Romanazzi has researched Antioxidant in several fields, including Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, Enzyme assay and Lasiodiplodia theobromae.
