Michael G. Milgroom

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Gene
• Genetics
• Botany

Michael G. Milgroom focuses on Cryphonectria, Genetics, Chestnut blight, Hypovirus and Population genetics. His studies deal with areas such as Virology, Horizontal transmission, Genotype, Population structure and Fungus as well as Cryphonectria. His Fungus study contributes to a more complete understanding of Botany.

The Chestnut blight study combines topics in areas such as Natural population growth and Restriction fragment length polymorphism. As part of the same scientific family, Michael G. Milgroom usually focuses on Hypovirus, concentrating on Hypoviridae and intersecting with Biological pest control. The concepts of his Population genetics study are interwoven with issues in Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Phytophthora infestans and Population biology.

His most cited work include:

• Genome expansion and gene loss in powdery mildew fungi reveal tradeoffs in extreme parasitism (567 citations)
• RECOMBINATION AND THE MULTILOCUS STRUCTURE OF FUNGAL POPULATIONS (427 citations)
• BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF CHESTNUT BLIGHT WITH HYPOVIRULENCE: A Critical Analysis (295 citations)

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

Michael G. Milgroom mainly investigates Cryphonectria, Genetics, Botany, Chestnut blight and Fungus. His study in the fields of Hypovirus under the domain of Cryphonectria overlaps with other disciplines such as Mycovirus. His study on Genetics is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Population genetics.

His Population genetics research incorporates themes from Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Genetic structure, Genetic diversity and Population biology. The various areas that he examines in his Botany study include Veterinary medicine, DNA profiling and Haplotype. In his work, Parasexual cycle is strongly intertwined with Heterokaryon, which is a subfield of Chestnut blight.

He most often published in these fields:

• Cryphonectria (37.68%)
• Genetics (37.68%)
• Botany (34.06%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

• Aflatoxin (10.14%)
• Genetics (37.68%)
• Verticillium dahliae (4.35%)

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

Michael G. Milgroom mostly deals with Aflatoxin, Genetics, Verticillium dahliae, Aspergillus flavus and Gene. His work on Genetics is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Population genetics. Verticillium dahliae is a subfield of Botany that Michael G. Milgroom studies.

Michael G. Milgroom focuses mostly in the field of Aspergillus flavus, narrowing it down to topics relating to Balancing selection and, in certain cases, Fungus. His research in Gene is mostly focused on Cryphonectria. In his articles, Michael G. Milgroom combines various disciplines, including Cryphonectria and Mycovirus.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Recombination between Clonal Lineages of the Asexual Fungus Verticillium dahliae Detected by Genotyping by Sequencing (58 citations)
• Extent and drivers of mycotoxin contamination: inferences from a survey of kenyan maize mills. (51 citations)
• Assessment of Aflatoxin and Fumonisin Contamination of Maize in Western Kenya. (48 citations)

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

• Gene
• Genetics
• Fungus

His scientific interests lie mostly in Aflatoxin, Mycotoxin, Evolutionary biology, Genomics and Fumonisin. His Aflatoxin research integrates issues from Toxin, Aspergillus flavus, Microbiology, Balancing selection and Larva. His research integrates issues of Parasitology and Population biology in his study of Evolutionary biology.

His Genomics study introduces a deeper knowledge of Genetics. Genetics and Fungal genetics are two areas of study in which Michael G. Milgroom engages in interdisciplinary research. His Fumonisin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Agronomy, Toxicology, Mycotoxin contamination, Food safety and Aflatoxin contamination.
