Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Horticulture
  • Fungus

Postharvest, Horticulture, Botany, Penicillium digitatum and Botrytis cinerea are his primary areas of study. The Blue mold research Joseph L. Smilanick does as part of his general Postharvest study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Cold storage, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His Horticulture course of study focuses on Spore and Germination.

His work on Penicillium italicum as part of general Botany research is frequently linked to Potassium sorbate, bridging the gap between disciplines. His studies in Penicillium digitatum integrate themes in fields like Spore germination and Inoculation. His Botrytis cinerea study incorporates themes from Yeast, Moho, Alternaria, Aspergillus niger and Berry.

His most cited work include:

  • Effects of continuous 0.3 ppm ozone exposure on decay development and physiological responses of peaches and table grapes in cold storage (192 citations)
  • Recent advances on the use of natural and safe alternatives to conventional methods to control postharvest gray mold of table grapes (157 citations)
  • Control of Postharvest Blue and Green Molds of Oranges by Hot Water, Sodium Carbonate, and Sodium Bicarbonate (155 citations)

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

Joseph L. Smilanick mainly investigates Horticulture, Postharvest, Botany, Penicillium digitatum and Botrytis cinerea. In general Horticulture study, his work on Fumigation, Inoculation and Blue mold often relates to the realm of Cold storage, thereby connecting several areas of interest. He has researched Postharvest in several fields, including Mold, Moho and Fungicide, Agronomy.

His studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like Ethanol, Potato dextrose agar and Hydrogen peroxide. His studies deal with areas such as Citrus × sinensis, Orange, Penicillium italicum, Rutaceae and Microbiology as well as Penicillium digitatum. The Botrytis cinerea study combines topics in areas such as Penicillium expansum, Table grape, Berry and Food science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Horticulture (64.71%)
  • Postharvest (58.82%)
  • Botany (46.22%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2019)?

  • Horticulture (64.71%)
  • Postharvest (58.82%)
  • Botany (46.22%)

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

Joseph L. Smilanick spends much of his time researching Horticulture, Postharvest, Botany, Fungicide and Botrytis cinerea. His study in the field of Flame Seedless, Penicillium expansum and Table grape also crosses realms of Potassium sorbate. His Postharvest research incorporates elements of Mold, Fumigation and Biotechnology.

His work investigates the relationship between Botany and topics such as Hydrogen peroxide that intersect with problems in Formaldehyde. His Botrytis cinerea study incorporates themes from Preharvest and Resistance. His work deals with themes such as Residue and Spore, which intersect with Penicillium digitatum.

Between 2011 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Recent advances on the use of natural and safe alternatives to conventional methods to control postharvest gray mold of table grapes (157 citations)
  • Integrated management of postharvest gray mold on fruit crops (101 citations)
  • Disinfecting agents for controlling fruit and vegetable diseases after harvest (68 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Horticulture
  • Fungus

Joseph L. Smilanick mostly deals with Postharvest, Cold storage, Fungicide, Botrytis cinerea and Mold. His research investigates the connection between Postharvest and topics such as Biotechnology that intersect with problems in Food safety. Joseph L. Smilanick studied Fungicide and Veraison that intersect with Blue mold and Vineyard.

Botany and Horticulture are the two main areas of interest in his Botrytis cinerea studies. His work on Berry as part of general Botany research is often related to Low-density polyethylene, Sulfur dioxide and Endochitinase activity, thus linking different fields of science. In his works, Joseph L. Smilanick conducts interdisciplinary research on Horticulture and Potassium sorbate.
