Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Ecology

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Herbivore, Spodoptera littoralis, Insect and Jasmonic acid. His Botany research integrates issues from Plant defense against herbivory, Jasmonate, Abscisic acid and Biochemistry. His Jasmonate research focuses on subjects like Cell biology, which are linked to Plant Immunity and Regulation of gene expression.

Herbivore is a subfield of Ecology that Matthias Erb studies. His Spodoptera littoralis study incorporates themes from Metabolome, Setosphaeria turcica and Metabolism. His studies deal with areas such as Pest control, Predation and Brown planthopper as well as Insect.

His most cited work include:

  • Role of phytohormones in insect-specific plant reactions. (503 citations)
  • Root exudate metabolites drive plant-soil feedbacks on growth and defense by shaping the rhizosphere microbiota (257 citations)
  • Benzoxazinoid Metabolites Regulate Innate Immunity against Aphids and Fungi in Maize. (224 citations)

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

Matthias Erb focuses on Herbivore, Botany, Plant defense against herbivory, Ecology and Insect. His work on Plant tolerance to herbivory as part of general Herbivore research is frequently linked to Taraxacum officinale, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Botany research incorporates themes from Jasmonic acid and Jasmonate.

His Plant defense against herbivory research focuses on Secondary metabolite and how it relates to Secondary metabolism. His Natural enemies and Guild study in the realm of Ecology interacts with subjects such as Context and Plant toxins. His Insect research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Poaceae, Caterpillar and Predation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Herbivore (65.00%)
  • Botany (62.22%)
  • Plant defense against herbivory (27.22%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Herbivore (65.00%)
  • Botany (62.22%)
  • Western corn rootworm (15.56%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Herbivore, Botany, Western corn rootworm, Ecology and Host. His Herbivore study combines topics in areas such as Metabolite, Plant defense against herbivory, Insect and Biotic component. Matthias Erb has included themes like Rhizosphere and Abiotic component in his Botany study.

Matthias Erb usually deals with Western corn rootworm and limits it to topics linked to Biological pest control and Experimental evolution and Biotechnology. His work on Phenotypic plasticity and Habitat as part of general Ecology study is frequently linked to Context, Low-pressure area and Effects of high altitude on humans, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His research investigates the connection between Host and topics such as Foraging that intersect with problems in Sugar.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Plant Secondary Metabolites as Defenses, Regulators, and Primary Metabolites: The Blurred Functional Trichotomy. (26 citations)
  • Independent evolution of ancestral and novel defenses in a genus of toxic plants (Erysimum, Brassicaceae). (14 citations)
  • Spodoptera frugiperda Caterpillars Suppress Herbivore-Induced Volatile Emissions in Maize. (14 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Ecology
  • Botany

Matthias Erb mainly focuses on Herbivore, Botany, PEST analysis, Western corn rootworm and Larva. His work deals with themes such as Agronomy, Robustness, Indole test, Insect and Tree species, which intersect with Herbivore. His work on Resistance as part of general Agronomy research is frequently linked to Infectivity, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His study in Plant defense against herbivory extends to Botany with its themes. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Braconidae, Parasitoid and Helicoverpa armigera. His Western corn rootworm research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Host, Photorhabdus, Biological pest control and Experimental evolution.
