Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Bacteria

Michael Wisniewski mainly investigates Botany, Postharvest, Penicillium expansum, Cold acclimation and Botrytis cinerea. The various areas that Michael Wisniewski examines in his Botany study include Food science and Transgene. His Postharvest study combines topics in areas such as Biotechnology and Fungicide, Monilinia.

His Penicillium expansum research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Fruit tree, Penicillium and Microbiology. The Cold acclimation study combines topics in areas such as Woody plant, Dormancy, Herbaceous plant and Prunus. Yeast, Glucanase, Debaryomyces hansenii and [Candida] oleophila is closely connected to Fungi imperfecti in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Botrytis cinerea.

His most cited work include:

  • Twenty years of postharvest biocontrol research: Is it time for a new paradigm? (459 citations)
  • Rapid Evaluation of Plant Extracts and Essential Oils for Antifungal Activity Against Botrytis cinerea. (400 citations)
  • Control of postharvest decay of apple fruit by Aureobasidium pullulans and induction of defense responses (290 citations)

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

Michael Wisniewski spends much of his time researching Botany, Postharvest, Horticulture, Gene and Microbiology. Borrowing concepts from Supercooling, Michael Wisniewski weaves in ideas under Botany. His Postharvest research incorporates elements of Food science, Fungicide, Biotechnology, Yeast and Biological pest control.

His work focuses on many connections between Horticulture and other disciplines, such as Microbiome, that overlap with his field of interest in Microbial population biology. His Microbiology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Penicillium expansum and Botrytis cinerea. As a part of the same scientific family, Michael Wisniewski mostly works in the field of Cold acclimation, focusing on Woody plant and, on occasion, Herbaceous plant.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (43.55%)
  • Postharvest (22.98%)
  • Horticulture (20.56%)

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

  • Microbiome (8.06%)
  • Postharvest (22.98%)
  • Horticulture (20.56%)

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

Michael Wisniewski mainly focuses on Microbiome, Postharvest, Horticulture, Gene and Microbial population biology. His studies deal with areas such as Fungicide, Biotechnology, Disease management, Biological pest control and Abiotic component as well as Postharvest. He focuses mostly in the field of Abiotic component, narrowing it down to matters related to Oxidative stress and, in some cases, Microbiology.

His Horticulture research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Adaptation and Fructan. His Gene study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Penicillium expansum and Effector. Michael Wisniewski focuses mostly in the field of Phyllosphere, narrowing it down to topics relating to Botany and, in certain cases, Microbial ecology.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Apple endophytic microbiota of different rootstock/scion combinations suggests a genotype-specific influence. (53 citations)
  • The fruit microbiome: A new frontier for postharvest biocontrol and postharvest biology (45 citations)
  • The impact of the postharvest environment on the viability and virulence of decay fungi. (31 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Bacteria

Microbiome, Postharvest, Horticulture, Metagenomics and Virulence are his primary areas of study. Michael Wisniewski combines subjects such as Disease management, Plant species, Biotechnology and Epiphyte with his study of Postharvest. His Biotechnology study combines topics in areas such as Beneficial organism, Sustainability, Biological pest control and Plant breeding.

His studies in Horticulture integrate themes in fields like Microbial ecology and Food safety. His Virulence research includes elements of Malus, Strain, Microbiology, Major gene and Fire blight. His study looks at the intersection of Microbiology and topics like Penicillium expansum with Gene.
