Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Genus
  • Fungus

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Diaporthe, Nomenclature, Library science and Genetics. His research related to Eucalyptus and Eucalyptus globulus might be considered part of Botany. His Eucalyptus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cycas, Phaeosphaeria and Pseudocercospora.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Phyllosticta, Microfungi and Ribosomal DNA. His work in Nomenclature tackles topics such as DNA sequencing which are related to areas like Taxon, Pathology and Fungus. In the subject of general Genetics, his work in Molecular taxonomy is often linked to Species identification, European community, Christian ministry and Fungal DNA, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

His most cited work include:

  • The Amsterdam Declaration on Fungal Nomenclature (250 citations)
  • Diaporthe: a genus of endophytic, saprobic and plant pathogenic fungi (242 citations)
  • One fungus, which genes? Development and assessment of universal primers for potential secondary fungal DNA barcodes. (236 citations)

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

Botany, Taxonomy, Calonectria, Eucalyptus and Nomenclature are his primary areas of study. His Botany study which covers Internal transcribed spacer that intersects with Phylogenetics and Nectriaceae. His Taxonomy research incorporates elements of Inoculation, Taxon, Polyphyly, Species diversity and DNA sequencing.

His Calonectria study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ecology, Leaf spot, Root rot, Species complex and Cylindrocladium. His work in the fields of Eucalyptus, such as Eucalyptus globulus, overlaps with other areas such as Plant litter. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Nomenclature, concentrating on Fungus and intersecting with Pathology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (67.90%)
  • Taxonomy (25.93%)
  • Calonectria (24.69%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Botany (67.90%)
  • Fusarium (7.41%)
  • Eucalyptus (23.46%)

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

His primary areas of study are Botany, Fusarium, Eucalyptus, Species complex and Phylogenetics. With his scientific publications, his incorporates both Botany and Plant litter. His Fusarium study also includes

  • Fusarium oxysporum, which have a strong connection to Cavendish banana, Fungus and Phylogenetic inference,
  • Abundance, Internal transcribed spacer, Gene and Genetic variation most often made with reference to Fusarium wilt.

His Species complex research integrates issues from Evolutionary biology, Type, Identification and Morphology. Lorenzo Lombard has researched Phylogenetics in several fields, including Taxonomy, Nomenclature, Species diversity and Phylogenetic tree. His Phyllosticta study combines topics in areas such as Diaporthe, Genus and Pyricularia.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Phylogeny and genetic diversity of the banana Fusarium wilt pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense in the Indonesian centre of origin (48 citations)
  • Genera of phytopathogenic fungi: GOPHY 2. (40 citations)
  • Epitypification of Fusarium oxysporum - clearing the taxonomic chaos. (26 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Genus
  • Fungus

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Fusarium oxysporum, Phyllosticta, Fusarium and Taxon. Lorenzo Lombard mostly deals with Geastrum in his studies of Botany. His Fusarium oxysporum research includes elements of Species complex, Phylogenetic inference, Identification and Fungus.

He interconnects Eucalyptus and Corymbia ficifolia in the investigation of issues within Phyllosticta. The various areas that Lorenzo Lombard examines in his Fusarium study include Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense, Fusarium wilt, Chaos and Cavendish banana. The Taxon study combines topics in areas such as Zoology, Nomenclature, Phylogenetic tree, Phylogenetics and Species diversity.
