Jean B. Ristaino

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Ecology
• Gene
• Botany

Jean B. Ristaino mainly investigates Phytophthora, Oomycete, Genetics, Phytophthora infestans and Agronomy. His Phytophthora study is associated with Botany. Many of his studies on Botany apply to Genome as well.

Jean B. Ristaino works mostly in the field of Phytophthora infestans, limiting it down to topics relating to Ecology and, in certain cases, Disease management, as a part of the same area of interest. His work deals with themes such as Soil fertility and Soil conditioner, which intersect with Agronomy. His work carried out in the field of Blight brings together such families of science as Fungicide, Whole genome sequencing, Phytophthora capsici, Pepper and Gene.

His most cited work include:

• Genome sequence and analysis of the Irish potato famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans. (1066 citations)
• Organic and synthetic fertility amendments influence soil microbial, physical and chemical properties on organic and conventional farms (461 citations)
• The Top 10 oomycete pathogens in molecular plant pathology (338 citations)

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

Jean B. Ristaino spends much of his time researching Phytophthora infestans, Botany, Phytophthora, Blight and Horticulture. His Phytophthora infestans research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ecology, Genotype, Haplotype and Oomycete. His study in the field of Phytophthora capsici and Metalaxyl is also linked to topics like Veterinary medicine.

His studies deal with areas such as Root rot, Phylogenetics, Ribosomal DNA, Biological dispersal and Polymerase chain reaction as well as Phytophthora. His Blight research integrates issues from Fungicide and Herbarium. The Restriction fragment length polymorphism, Internal transcribed spacer and Genome research Jean B. Ristaino does as part of his general Genetics study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Microsatellite, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

He most often published in these fields:

• Phytophthora infestans (38.14%)
• Botany (29.66%)
• Phytophthora (27.97%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

• Blight (27.12%)
• Phytophthora infestans (38.14%)
• Plant disease (7.63%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Blight, Phytophthora infestans, Plant disease, Early detection and Ecology. His Blight study often links to related topics such as Agroforestry. His Phytophthora infestans research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Oomycete, Digital polymerase chain reaction, Herbarium, Genotype and Hydroxynaphthol blue.

His work on Oomycete is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Pseudomonas fluorescens. His research in Genotype intersects with topics in Evolutionary biology, Genetic similarity and Lineage. His studies in Ecology integrate themes in fields like Fungicide, Metalaxyl, Phytosanitary certification, Population biology and Phylogeography.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Non-invasive plant disease diagnostics enabled by smartphone-based fingerprinting of leaf volatiles. (36 citations)
• Extraction of Plant DNA by Microneedle Patch for Rapid Detection of Plant Diseases. (23 citations)
• Large sub-clonal variation in Phytophthora infestans from recent severe late blight epidemics in India (13 citations)

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

• Ecology
• Gene
• DNA

His primary scientific interests are in Phytophthora infestans, Blight, Pathogen detection, Plant disease and Early detection. The Phytophthora infestans study combines topics in areas such as Ecology and Virology. His Blight research includes elements of Fungicide, Metalaxyl, Phytosanitary certification, Genotype and Phylogeography.

Pathogen detection combines with fields such as Oomycete, Horticulture, Non invasive, Cell wall and Sample preparation in his investigation. His Cell wall research incorporates elements of Chromatography, DNA extraction, Polymerase chain reaction and DNA. His Early detection study overlaps with Phytophthora, Hydroxynaphthol blue, Digital polymerase chain reaction, Loop-mediated isothermal amplification and Detection limit.
