  • 2005 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Fungus

James F. White mostly deals with Botany, Endophyte, Epichloë, Fungus and Ecology. His research integrates issues of Symbiosis and Phylogenetics in his study of Botany. His Endophyte study incorporates themes from Acremonium, Mutualism, Host, Poaceae and Mycelium.

His work in Epichloë tackles topics such as Acremonium coenophialum which are related to areas like Aleurone, Pith, Endophytic fungus and Staining. In Fungus, James F. White works on issues like Festuca arundinacea, which are connected to Elymus canadensis. His work is dedicated to discovering how Ecology, Biotic stress are connected with Dark septate endophyte, Life history theory, Rhizosphere and Diazotroph and other disciplines.

His most cited work include:

  • Fungal endophytes: diversity and functional roles. (1576 citations)
  • The fungal community : its organization and role in the ecosystem (516 citations)
  • The program of androgen-responsive genes in neoplastic prostate epithelium (383 citations)

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

James F. White mainly focuses on Botany, Endophyte, Ecology, Epichloë and Clavicipitaceae. Botany is closely attributed to Host in his research. He works mostly in the field of Endophyte, limiting it down to topics relating to Festuca and, in certain cases, Lolium, as a part of the same area of interest.

His Epichloë study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Neotyphodium. As a member of one scientific family, James F. White mostly works in the field of Clavicipitaceae, focusing on Genus and, on occasion, Systematics. His study focuses on the intersection of Taxonomy and fields such as Phylogenetics with connections in the field of Phylogenetic tree and Zoology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (61.79%)
  • Endophyte (30.36%)
  • Ecology (15.36%)

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

  • Botany (61.79%)
  • Endophyte (30.36%)
  • Bacteria (9.29%)

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

Botany, Endophyte, Bacteria, Seedling and Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense are his primary areas of study. His Botany study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ecology, Host, Nutrient and Inoculation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Abiotic stress, Epichloë, Horticulture and Plant physiology.

His study in Epichloë is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biomass, Clavicipitaceae and Lolium perenne. His Bacteria study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Superoxide, Shoot and Crop. James F. White has researched Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense in several fields, including Hyperaccumulator, Phytoremediation and Mycelium.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Functions, mechanisms and regulation of endophytic and epiphytic microbial communities of plants (58 citations)
  • Review: Endophytic microbes and their potential applications in crop management. (47 citations)
  • Seed-vectored endophytic bacteria modulate development of rice seedlings (46 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Fungus

James F. White spends much of his time researching Botany, Seedling, Bacteria, Endophyte and Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense. James F. White integrates many fields, such as Botany and Phragmites, in his works. His work carried out in the field of Seedling brings together such families of science as Shoot, Inoculation, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Germination.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Pathogen and Nutrient in addition to Bacteria. His studies in Endophyte integrate themes in fields like Biotic stress and Ecology. He interconnects Phytoremediation and Mycelium in the investigation of issues within Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense.
