Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Fungus
  • Gene

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Leptosphaeria maculans, Agronomy, Brassica and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. His study in Botany is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Plant disease resistance, Arabidopsis thaliana, Pathogen and Genetic diversity. Martin J. Barbetti has included themes like Canker, Blackleg and Phoma in his Leptosphaeria maculans study.

Agronomy and Soil conditioner are commonly linked in his work. His Brassica study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Horticulture. His work deals with themes such as Sclerotinia, Cotyledon and Tymovirales, which intersect with Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.

His most cited work include:

  • Epidemiology and management of Leptosphaeria maculans (phoma stem canker) on oilseed rape in Australia, Canada and Europe (342 citations)
  • World-wide importance of phoma stem canker (Leptosphaeria maculans and L. biglobosa) on oilseed rape (Brassica napus) (314 citations)
  • A novel role for Trichoderma secondary metabolites in the interactions with plants (308 citations)

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

Martin J. Barbetti spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Botany, Horticulture, Brassica and Cultivar. His Plant disease resistance research extends to Agronomy, which is thematically connected. His Botany research integrates issues from Pathogen and Microbiology.

His work carried out in the field of Brassica brings together such families of science as Canola, Inoculation, Sclerotinia and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. His studies in Sclerotinia integrate themes in fields like Stem rot and Introgression. His research in Leptosphaeria maculans intersects with topics in Ascospore, Canker, Fungicide and Germination.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (41.64%)
  • Botany (38.49%)
  • Horticulture (31.23%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Horticulture (31.23%)
  • Brassica (28.08%)
  • Genetics (11.67%)

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

Martin J. Barbetti mostly deals with Horticulture, Brassica, Genetics, Plant disease resistance and Leaf spot. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Host and Spore. His work in Host addresses subjects such as Agronomy, which are connected to disciplines such as Food processing.

His Brassica research includes themes of Canola and Cotyledon. The Plant disease resistance study combines topics in areas such as Pathogen, Computational biology and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. In the subject of general Botany, his work in Blight is often linked to Chalcone synthase, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Virome Characterization of a Collection of S. sclerotiorum from Australia. (44 citations)
  • A novel tomato Fusarium wilt tolerance gene (21 citations)
  • Abiotic and biotic factors affecting crop seed germination and seedling emergence: a conceptual framework (19 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Fungus
  • Gene

Martin J. Barbetti focuses on Genetics, Horticulture, Canola, Brassica and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. His Genetics research focuses on Germplasm and how it relates to Rapeseed, Genetic variation, Polyploid, Genome evolution and Genetic diversity. Martin J. Barbetti combines subjects such as Leaf spot and Alternaria with his study of Canola.

The various areas that Martin J. Barbetti examines in his Brassica study include Peduncle, Powdery mildew, Cultivar and Sowing. His Cultivar study is concerned with the field of Agronomy as a whole. His Sclerotinia sclerotiorum study combines topics in areas such as Sclerotinia and Introgression.
