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.
