Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Horticulture

Joseph E. Munyaneza spends much of his time researching Zebra chip, Bactericera cockerelli, Botany, Horticulture and Triozidae. His Zebra chip research incorporates themes from Bactericera and Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum. His study looks at the relationship between Bactericera and fields such as Cultivar, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His research in Bactericera cockerelli intersects with topics in Host and Solanum tuberosum. His study in the field of Candidatus Liberibacter, Homoptera and Psylloidea is also linked to topics like Phytoplasma. The study incorporates disciplines such as Trioza and Inoculation in addition to Hemiptera.

His most cited work include:

  • Association of Bactericera cockerelli (Homoptera: Psyllidae) with Zebra chip, a new potato disease in southwestern United States and Mexico (287 citations)
  • Zebra Chip Disease of Potato: Biology, Epidemiology, and Management (163 citations)
  • Association of "Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum" with the psyllid, Trioza apicalis (Hemiptera: Triozidae) in Europe (92 citations)

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

Joseph E. Munyaneza mostly deals with Bactericera cockerelli, Botany, Zebra chip, Horticulture and Triozidae. He combines subjects such as Nymph, Agronomy and Bactericera with his study of Bactericera cockerelli. His Botany course of study focuses on Host and Weed.

The concepts of his Zebra chip study are interwoven with issues in Candidatus Liberibacter, Solanum tuberosum, Inoculation and Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum. His Solanum tuberosum study incorporates themes from Disease management and Microbiology. In the field of Horticulture, his study on Homoptera, Cultivar and Chlorosis overlaps with subjects such as Phytoplasma and Ribosomal DNA.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Bactericera cockerelli (66.67%)
  • Botany (57.41%)
  • Zebra chip (57.41%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Bactericera cockerelli (66.67%)
  • Botany (57.41%)
  • Triozidae (34.26%)

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

Joseph E. Munyaneza focuses on Bactericera cockerelli, Botany, Triozidae, Zebra chip and Hemiptera. His Bactericera cockerelli research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Overwintering, Growing season and Crop. His research integrates issues of Pathogen, Host and Horticulture in his study of Botany.

Joseph E. Munyaneza works mostly in the field of Triozidae, limiting it down to topics relating to Convolvulus and, in certain cases, Ipomoea, Convolvulaceae and Psylloidea, as a part of the same area of interest. Joseph E. Munyaneza interconnects Inoculation, Solanum tuberosum, Agronomy and Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum in the investigation of issues within Zebra chip. His research in Hemiptera tackles topics such as Wolbachia which are related to areas like Candidatus Carsonella ruddii, Sodalis and Liberibacter psyllaurous.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Synthesis and regulation of chlorogenic acid in potato: Rerouting phenylpropanoid flux in HQT‐silenced lines (43 citations)
  • Latent period and transmission of "Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum" by the potato psyllid Bactericera cockerelli (Hemiptera: Triozidae). (36 citations)
  • First Report of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’ on Carrot in Africa (36 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Horticulture

His primary scientific interests are in Bactericera cockerelli, Zebra chip, Botany, Triozidae and Hemiptera. His studies in Zebra chip integrate themes in fields like Candidatus Liberibacter and Solanum tuberosum, Agronomy. His work deals with themes such as Agriculture and Geographic distribution, which intersect with Agronomy.

The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Pathogen and Inoculation, Horticulture. His Triozidae study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Outbreak. His research investigates the connection with Nymph and areas like Petiole which intersect with concerns in Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum.
