Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Fungus
  • Genus

Her primary areas of study are Botany, Phylogenetics, Diaporthe, Phylogenetic tree and Zoology. Her study on Systematics is often connected to Hypocrea as part of broader study in Botany. Her Phylogenetics research incorporates elements of Ecology and Fungus.

Her research investigates the link between Diaporthe and topics such as Internal transcribed spacer that cross with problems in Diaporthe eres, Virulence, Phomopsis, Diaporthe phaseolorum and Inoculation. Her research integrates issues of Leotiomycetes, Monophyly, Subkingdom, Zoopagomycotina and Agaricomycotina in her study of Zoology. The concepts of her Diaporthales study are interwoven with issues in Chestnut blight, Valsa, Genus and Cryphonectria.

Her most cited work include:

  • A higher-level phylogenetic classification of the Fungi (1636 citations)
  • The Ascomycota Tree of Life: A Phylum-wide Phylogeny Clarifies the Origin and Evolution of Fundamental Reproductive and Ecological Traits (462 citations)
  • Trichoderma species associated with the green mold epidemic of commercially grown Agaricus bisporus. (277 citations)

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

Lisa A. Castlebury focuses on Botany, Diaporthales, Genus, Internal transcribed spacer and Ribosomal DNA. Her Botany study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Phylogenetic tree. The study incorporates disciplines such as Phylogenetics and DNA sequencing in addition to Phylogenetic tree.

She works mostly in the field of Diaporthales, limiting it down to topics relating to Clade and, in certain cases, Holotype. Her Genus study is concerned with the larger field of Zoology. Her Internal transcribed spacer research includes elements of Intergenic region and Puccinia.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (76.30%)
  • Diaporthales (18.52%)
  • Genus (16.30%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Botany (76.30%)
  • Diaporthales (18.52%)
  • Genus (16.30%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Diaporthales, Genus, Internal transcribed spacer and Diaporthe. Her research in Botany intersects with topics in Pleosporales, Dothideomycetes, Ascomycota, Phylogenetic tree and Puccinia. Her study in Phylogenetic tree is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Intergenic region and Horticulture.

In her research, Systematics and Key is intimately related to Clade, which falls under the overarching field of Diaporthales. Her Internal transcribed spacer research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Spore, Multiplex, Herbarium and Ribosomal DNA. Her Diaporthe research integrates issues from Translation elongation, Crop, Canker, Taxonomy and Seedling.

Between 2014 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Recommendations of generic names in Diaporthales competing for protection or use (65 citations)
  • The Diaporthe sojae species complex: Phylogenetic re-assessment of pathogens associated with soybean, cucurbits and other field crops. (54 citations)
  • A taxonomic and phylogenetic re-appraisal of the genus Curvularia ( Pleosporaceae ): human and plant pathogens (36 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Fungus
  • Genus

Lisa A. Castlebury mostly deals with Botany, Diaporthe, Internal transcribed spacer, Phylogenetic tree and Nomenclature. She has included themes like Dothideomycetes, Puccinia and Diaporthales in her Botany study. She interconnects Systematics, Holotype, Clade and Molecular phylogenetics in the investigation of issues within Diaporthales.

Her research in Diaporthe intersects with topics in Canker and Blight. Her Internal transcribed spacer research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Pleosporaceae, Pleosporales, Host and Evolutionary biology. Her work carried out in the field of Phylogenetic tree brings together such families of science as Intergenic region and Diaporthe phaseolorum.
