Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Biochemistry

His primary areas of study are Biochemistry, Microbiology, Botany, Plant disease resistance and Inoculation. His studies link Mycelium with Biochemistry. His work carried out in the field of Microbiology brings together such families of science as Peroxidase, Glucanase, Tobacco mosaic virus and Solanaceae.

His study on Botany is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Cladosporium cucumerinum. His Plant disease resistance research includes elements of Pathogen, Neuroscience and Resistance. His study focuses on the intersection of Inoculation and fields such as Colletotrichum lagenarium with connections in the field of Horticulture, Petiole, Inducer and Fungus.

His most cited work include:

  • Association of enhanced peroxidase activity with induced systemic resistance of cucumber to Colletotrichum lagenarium (885 citations)
  • Lignification as a mechanism for induced systemic resistance in cucumber (322 citations)
  • Eicosapentaenoic and Arachidonic Acids from Phytophthora infestans Elicit Fungitoxic Sesquiterpenes in the Potato. (240 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Biochemistry, Inoculation, Microbiology and Phytophthora infestans. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Peroxidase, Resistance, Nicotiana tabacum and Chitinase. The concepts of his Inoculation study are interwoven with issues in Pathogen, Cultivar, Fungus and Solanaceae.

His Solanaceae research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Tobacco mosaic virus and Phycomycetes. His work deals with themes such as Conidium and Bacteria, which intersect with Microbiology. His research on Phytophthora infestans also deals with topics like

  • Glycoalkaloid and related Squalene,
  • Root crops, which have a strong connection to Plant composition.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (36.54%)
  • Biochemistry (30.77%)
  • Inoculation (28.85%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1995-2015)?

  • Plant disease resistance (15.38%)
  • Botany (36.54%)
  • Glucanase (6.73%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Plant disease resistance, Botany, Glucanase, Molecular biology and Biochemistry. The Plant disease resistance study combines topics in areas such as Tobacco mosaic virus, Tobamovirus and Nicotiana tabacum. His study in Nicotiana tabacum is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Botrytis cinerea, Virology and Solanaceae.

His research ties 6-Methoxymellein and Botany together. His studies in Glucanase integrate themes in fields like Cucurbitaceae and Chitinase. In the field of Biochemistry, his study on Glutathione, Phosphorylation and Okadaic acid overlaps with subjects such as EGTA.

Between 1995 and 2015, his most popular works were:

  • Concepts and Direction of Induced Systemic Resistance in Plants and its Application (199 citations)
  • Antifungal activity of cucumber β-1,3-glucanase and chitinase (82 citations)
  • The effect of sense and antisense expression of the PR-N gene for β-1,3-glucanase on disease resistance of tobacco to fungi and viruses (45 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Botany

His main research concerns Plant disease resistance, Glucanase, Genetics, Pathogen and Botany. His Plant disease resistance study combines topics in areas such as Tobacco mosaic virus, Tobamovirus, Nicotiana tabacum, Molecular biology and Pathogenesis-related protein. His studies deal with areas such as Agar plate, Cucumis, Spore germination, Microbiology and Chitinase as well as Glucanase.

His study brings together the fields of Resistance and Genetics.
