Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Fungus

Holger B. Deising spends much of his time researching Microbiology, Appressorium, Hypha, Colletotrichum and Fungus. The various areas that he examines in his Microbiology study include Mycotoxin, Fungicide, Trichothecene and Botany. His Appressorium study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Morphogenesis, Fungi imperfecti and Turgor pressure.

His study in Hypha is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Haustorium and Cell wall. His Cell wall research integrates issues from Germ tube and Chitin. His research integrates issues of Chitosan and Chitinase in his study of Fungus.

His most cited work include:

  • MORPHOGENESIS AND MECHANISMS OF PENETRATION BY PLANT PATHOGENIC FUNGI (303 citations)
  • Optical Measurements of Invasive Forces Exerted by Appressoria of a Plant Pathogenic Fungus (209 citations)
  • When and how to kill a plant cell: infection strategies of plant pathogenic fungi. (199 citations)

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

Holger B. Deising mostly deals with Fungicide, Botany, Microbiology, Horticulture and Gene. His Fungicide study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Chemical control, Biotechnology and Resistance. His Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Plant disease resistance and Host.

Holger B. Deising has researched Microbiology in several fields, including Cell wall and Virulence. In his research, Rust and Uromyces is intimately related to Haustorium, which falls under the overarching field of Hypha. Holger B. Deising interconnects Morphogenesis, Colletotrichum and Turgor pressure in the investigation of issues within Appressorium.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Fungicide (37.02%)
  • Botany (29.33%)
  • Microbiology (26.44%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Microbiology (26.44%)
  • Gene (17.79%)
  • Virulence (7.69%)

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

Microbiology, Gene, Virulence, Pathogen and Graminicola are his primary areas of study. His work on Appressorium as part of general Microbiology research is frequently linked to Nudix hydrolase, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. Holger B. Deising is investigating Conidium and Hypha as part of his examination of Appressorium.

His Gene study introduces a deeper knowledge of Biochemistry. His Pathogen research includes elements of Phytophthora, Blumeria graminis and Phytophthora infestans. His study in the field of Powdery mildew is also linked to topics like Epicatechin gallate, Procyanidin B1 and Polyphenol.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Host-induced silencing of Fusarium culmorum genes protects wheat from infection. (74 citations)
  • Attenuation of PAMP-triggered immunity in maize requires down-regulation of the key β-1,6-glucan synthesis genes KRE5 and KRE6 in biotrophic hyphae of Colletotrichum graminicola. (31 citations)
  • The unpredictable risk imposed by microbial secondary metabolites: how safe is biological control of plant diseases? (12 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Fungus

His primary areas of investigation include Microbiology, Botany, Colletotrichum, Hypha and Biotechnology. Holger B. Deising studies Appressorium, a branch of Microbiology. He focuses mostly in the field of Botany, narrowing it down to matters related to Plant disease resistance and, in some cases, Powdery mildew, Hordeum vulgare, Spore germination and Oomycete.

His study explores the link between Colletotrichum and topics such as Cultivar that cross with problems in Virulence. His study looks at the intersection of Hypha and topics like Cell with Gene and RNA interference. His Biotechnology study combines topics in areas such as Azole, Fungicide, Crop, Agriculture and Human pathogen.
