Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Fungus

His primary areas of study are Botany, Powdery mildew, Cucurbitaceae, Poaceae and Silicon. His Botany research includes elements of Haustorium, Inoculation and Plant disease resistance. His Plant disease resistance research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Regulator, Regulation of gene expression, Plant defense against herbivory and Second messenger system.

His work on Erysiphe cichoracearum as part of general Powdery mildew research is frequently linked to Plant disease, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Cucurbitaceae study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Secondary cell wall and Sphaerotheca. His biological study deals with issues like Blumeria graminis, which deal with fields such as Root system and Elicitor.

His most cited work include:

  • Silicon and plant disease resistance against pathogenic fungi (427 citations)
  • Silicon-mediated accumulation of flavonoid phytoalexins in cucumber. (312 citations)
  • Cytological Evidence of an Active Role of Silicon in Wheat Resistance to Powdery Mildew (Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici). (245 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Cultivar, Botany, Plant disease resistance and Loose smut. His study in the field of Smut, Avena and Hordeum vulgare also crosses realms of Spring. His work on Stem rust and Head blight as part of general Cultivar study is frequently connected to Sitodiplosis mosellana, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Haustorium and Inoculation. His study explores the link between Loose smut and topics such as Genetics that cross with problems in Puccinia coronata. In his work, Germination is strongly intertwined with Conidium, which is a subfield of Powdery mildew.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (45.74%)
  • Cultivar (31.78%)
  • Botany (27.91%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Genetics (17.83%)
  • Horticulture (11.63%)

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

His main research concerns Cultivar, Genetics, Horticulture, Puccinia coronata and Spring. His study in Cultivar is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Plant disease resistance, Claviceps purpurea, Quantitative trait locus, Grain yield and Ovary. The study incorporates disciplines such as Loose smut, Ustilago tritici, Genetic analysis and Hordeum vulgare in addition to Plant disease resistance.

His Inoculation, Sclerotium and Honeydew study in the realm of Horticulture connects with subjects such as Hybrid seed. Among his research on Spring, you can see a combination of other fields of science like Agronomy, Avena and Geology. His work deals with themes such as Powdery mildew, Effector, Cell biology and Blumeria graminis, which intersect with Virulence.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The controversies of silicon's role in plant biology. (153 citations)
  • Silicon protects soybean plants against Phytophthora sojae by interfering with effector-receptor expression. (34 citations)
  • Nine draft genome sequences of Claviceps purpurea s.lat ., including C. arundinis, C. humidiphila , and C. cf. spartinae , pseudomolecules for the pitch canker pathogen Fusarium circinatum , draft genome of Davidsoniella eucalypti, Grosmannia galeiformis, Quambalaria eucalypti , and Teratosphaeria destructans (9 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Fungus

James G. Menzies focuses on Puccinia coronata, Horticulture, Cultivar, Virulence and Genetics. His Puccinia coronata study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Chromosome, Gene, Allele and Avena. In the field of Horticulture, his study on Inoculation, Sclerotium and Honeydew overlaps with subjects such as Hybrid seed.

His Cultivar study frequently links to related topics such as Ovary. His Virulence study combines topics in areas such as Pathogen, Phytophthora sojae, Apoplast, Receptor and Effector. His work carried out in the field of Genetics brings together such families of science as Avena sterilis and Mycology.
