- TYPE III SECRETION SYSTEM EFFECTOR PROTEINS: Double Agents in Bacterial Disease and Plant Defense (656 citations)
- The type III (Hrp) secretion pathway of plant pathogenic bacteria: trafficking harpins, Avr proteins, and death. (458 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Pseudomonas syringae, Effector, Microbiology, Cell biology and Virulence.
James R. Alfano has researched Pseudomonas syringae in several fields, including Arabidopsis thaliana, Arabidopsis, Mutant and Hypersensitive response.
His Effector research includes elements of Plant Immunity, Xanthomonas, Secretion, Type three secretion system and Innate immune system.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Pseudomonas fluorescens, Operon, Immune system and Pathogenicity island.
His study on Cell biology also encompasses disciplines like
- Ubiquitin ligase which is related to area like Ferredoxin,
- Ubiquitin and related Proteasome.
His Virulence research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Function and Pseudomonas.
He most often published in these fields:
- Pseudomonas syringae (72.73%)
- Effector (67.05%)
- Microbiology (54.55%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Effector (67.05%)
- Cell biology (32.95%)
- Pseudomonas syringae (72.73%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
James R. Alfano mostly deals with Effector, Cell biology, Pseudomonas syringae, Xanthomonas and Ubiquitin ligase.
Effector is often connected to Virulence in his work.
His work carried out in the field of Virulence brings together such families of science as Heterologous, Bacterial disease, Microbiology, RNA silencing and microRNA.
His Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Plant Immunity, Receptor and Nicotiana benthamiana.
In his work, Immune system and Protein kinase domain is strongly intertwined with Arabidopsis, which is a subfield of Pseudomonas syringae.
James R. Alfano combines subjects such as Plant hormone, Innate immune system and Plant defense against herbivory with his study of Ubiquitin ligase.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- A Plant Immune Receptor Degraded by Selective Autophagy. (23 citations)
- The role of type III effectors from Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis in virulence and suppression of plant immunity (17 citations)
- Pathogenic Bacteria Target Plant Plasmodesmata to Colonize and Invade Surrounding Tissues. (10 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
James R. Alfano focuses on Effector, Xanthomonas, Plant Immunity, Cell biology and Pseudomonas syringae.
He interconnects Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, Heterologous, Immunity, Function and Microbiology in the investigation of issues within Effector.
His Xanthomonas study is concerned with the larger field of Genetics.
His Plant Immunity research incorporates elements of Arabidopsis thaliana, Plasmodesma, Bacterial disease, Plant cell and Virulence.
His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Receptor, Pattern recognition receptor, Arabidopsis and Immune system.
The concepts of his Pseudomonas syringae study are interwoven with issues in Sphingolipid and Immune receptor.
