Lise Korsten

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

• Botany
• Ecology
• Horticulture

Her primary areas of study are Horticulture, Postharvest, Botany, Biotechnology and Biological pest control. Her research in Horticulture intersects with topics in Rhizosphere, Essential oil and Sorghum. Her Postharvest research incorporates elements of Titratable acid and Conidium.

Lise Korsten has researched Botany in several fields, including Food preservation and Shelf life. The study incorporates disciplines such as Agriculture, Natural resource economics and Product in addition to Biotechnology. She interconnects Fruits and vegetables, Pesticide, Toxicology and Natural enemies in the investigation of issues within Biological pest control.

Her most cited work include:

• Biological control of postharvest diseases of fruits. (809 citations)
• Iturin A is the principal inhibitor in the biocontrol activity of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens PPCB004 against postharvest fungal pathogens (201 citations)
• Integrated control of citrus green and blue molds using Bacillus subtilis in combination with sodium bicarbonate or hot water (147 citations)

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

Horticulture, Botany, Postharvest, Biotechnology and Fungicide are her primary areas of study. Her work on Browning, Penicillium digitatum and Preharvest as part of general Horticulture research is frequently linked to Cold storage, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. Her study in the field of Cultivar, Guignardia, Citrus black spot and Anthocyanin also crosses realms of Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis.

Her Postharvest study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Modified atmosphere, Food science, Penicillium, Biological pest control and PEAR. Her Biotechnology study also includes

• Toxicology together with Pesticide,
• Food security which connect with Food processing. The Fungicide study combines topics in areas such as Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Bacillus licheniformis.

She most often published in these fields:

• Horticulture (35.71%)
• Botany (27.47%)
• Postharvest (25.82%)

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

• Veterinary medicine (12.64%)
• Food security (6.59%)
• Horticulture (35.71%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Veterinary medicine, Food security, Horticulture, Food safety and Biotechnology. Her Veterinary medicine research includes elements of Ampicillin, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli and Antibiotic resistance. While the research belongs to areas of Food security, she spends her time largely on the problem of Food processing, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Sustainability, Development economics and Agricultural productivity.

Her Horticulture study frequently links to related topics such as Cladosporium. Her studies in Biotechnology integrate themes in fields like Microbial diversity, Wine and Kocuria. Her research in the fields of Penicillium digitatum overlaps with other disciplines such as Cold storage.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

• Mapping disruption and resilience mechanisms in food systems. (21 citations)
• Irrigation water quality and microbial safety of leafy greens in different vegetable production systems: A review (21 citations)
• Awakening from the listeriosis crisis: Food safety challenges, practices and governance in the food retail sector in South Africa (18 citations)

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

• Botany
• Ecology
• Fungus

Lise Korsten mostly deals with Food safety, Biotechnology, Food security, Excellence and Horticulture. Her work deals with themes such as Tetracycline, Enterobacter, Veterinary medicine, Enterobacteriaceae and Serratia, which intersect with Food safety. Her study in Biotechnology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Microbial diversity, Toxicology and Surface water.

In the field of Food security, her study on Food systems overlaps with subjects such as Psychological resilience. Her studies deal with areas such as Nutritional quality and Thyme oil as well as Horticulture. Her Nonylphenol research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Lactuca, Plant morphology, Chlorophyll, Botany and Chloroplast.
