Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Gene
  • Botany

His primary scientific interests are in Mycosphaerella graminicola, Botany, Agronomy, Septoria and Winter wheat. His study in Mycosphaerella graminicola is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Abundance and Graminicola. His Graminicola study incorporates themes from Cultivar, Germination, Horticulture, Mycelium and Hypha.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Poaceae and Crop. His Poaceae research includes themes of Powdery mildew and Phenology. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Winter wheat, concentrating on Disease severity and intersecting with Seed treatment, Erysiphe graminis and Relative bias.

His most cited work include:

  • Histology of the pathogenesis of Mycosphaerella graminicola in wheat (203 citations)
  • SIMULATION OF POPULATION EXPANSION AND SPATIAL PATTERN WHEN INDIVIDUAL DISPERSAL DISTRIBUTIONS DO NOT DECLINE EXPONENTIALLY WITH DISTANCE (142 citations)
  • Hybridization between Brassica napus and B. rapa on a national scale in the United Kingdom. (142 citations)

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

Michael W. Shaw focuses on Botany, Horticulture, Agronomy, Fungicide and Mycosphaerella graminicola. His studies examine the connections between Botany and genetics, as well as such issues in Inoculation, with regards to Botrytis cinerea. His study on Horticulture is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Fungi imperfecti.

Grasshopper is closely connected to Genetics in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Fungicide. Michael W. Shaw has researched Mycosphaerella graminicola in several fields, including Graminicola and Prochloraz. Michael W. Shaw combines subjects such as Growing season and Crop with his study of Poaceae.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (29.58%)
  • Horticulture (22.54%)
  • Agronomy (20.42%)

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

  • Genetics (15.49%)
  • Fungicide (18.31%)
  • Botany (29.58%)

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

Michael W. Shaw spends much of his time researching Genetics, Fungicide, Botany, Horticulture and Veterinary medicine. The various areas that Michael W. Shaw examines in his Genetics study include Natural population growth and Pyrenopeziza brassicae. His primary area of study in Fungicide is in the field of Mycosphaerella graminicola.

The subject of his Mycosphaerella graminicola research is within the realm of Septoria. Many of his studies on Botany involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Genetic diversity. Michael W. Shaw interconnects Monoculture and Banana Xanthomonas wilt in the investigation of issues within Cultivar.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Botrytis species: relentless necrotrophic thugs or endophytes gone rogue? (55 citations)
  • Paralog Re-Emergence: A Novel, Historically Contingent Mechanism in the Evolution of Antimicrobial Resistance (50 citations)
  • Detection of Zymoseptoria tritici SDHI insensitive field isolates carrying the SdhC‐H152R and SdhD‐R47W substitutions (37 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Gene
  • Botany

Michael W. Shaw mainly investigates Genetics, Fungicide, Mycosphaerella graminicola, Botany and Gene. His Fungicide research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Amino acid, Peptide sequence, Mode of action and Target protein. Mycosphaerella graminicola is the subject of his research, which falls under Septoria.

His Botany study incorporates themes from Inoculation, Host and Disease epidemiology. His Gene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Pyrenopeziza brassicae and Resistance development. His study looks at the relationship between Epoxiconazole and fields such as Pathogen, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.
