Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

Her primary scientific interests are in Postharvest, Horticulture, Penicillium expansum, Food science and Botany. She combines subjects such as Inoculation, Mycelium and Spore with her study of Postharvest. Her primary area of study in Horticulture is in the field of Botrytis cinerea.

Her Penicillium expansum research focuses on subjects like Penicillium, which are linked to Sorbitol. Her study in the field of Skimmed milk and Sucrose is also linked to topics like Freeze-drying and Preservation Technique. Her work in the fields of Biological pest control and Fruit tree overlaps with other areas such as Water activity.

Her most cited work include:

  • Effect of protective agents, rehydration media and initial cell concentration on viability of Pantoea agglomerans strain CPA-2 subjected to freeze-drying. (152 citations)
  • Effect of freeze drying and protectants on viability of the biocontrol yeast Candida sake. (151 citations)
  • The science, development, and commercialization of postharvest biocontrol products (144 citations)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Horticulture, Postharvest, Botany, Biological pest control and Penicillium expansum. Her work carried out in the field of Postharvest brings together such families of science as Pantoea agglomerans, Biotechnology, Fungicide and Pome. Her Pantoea agglomerans study combines topics in areas such as Osmotic concentration, Propidium monoazide, Food science and Microbiology.

The concepts of her Biological pest control study are interwoven with issues in CANDIDA SAKE, Biopesticide and Toxicology. Her research in Penicillium expansum intersects with topics in Biochemistry and Penicillium. In her work, Ripening is strongly intertwined with Pathogen, which is a subfield of Penicillium digitatum.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Horticulture (50.00%)
  • Postharvest (45.00%)
  • Botany (29.37%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Horticulture (50.00%)
  • Biological pest control (28.75%)
  • Postharvest (45.00%)

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

Neus Teixidó mostly deals with Horticulture, Biological pest control, Postharvest, Monilinia and Monilinia fructicola. Her research investigates the connection between Horticulture and topics such as Plant disease resistance that intersect with issues in Resistance. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including CANDIDA SAKE, Toxicology, Ecosystem and Shelf life.

The various areas that Neus Teixidó examines in her Postharvest study include Microorganism, Biopesticide, Pome and Microbial population biology. The Monilinia study combines topics in areas such as Fruit development, Phenology, Citric acid and Sucrose. Her studies in Monilinia fructicola integrate themes in fields like Rhizopus, Cultivar, Penicillium expansum, Peracetic acid and Alternaria.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Compatibility interactions between the biocontrol agent Penicillium frequentans Pf909 and other existing strategies to brown rot control (8 citations)
  • Double-sided battle: The role of ethylene during Monilinia spp. infection in peach at different phenological stages. (6 citations)
  • Pectin methyl esterases and rhamnogalacturonan hydrolases: weapons for successful Monilinia laxa infection in stone fruit? (6 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

Her primary areas of study are Horticulture, Monilinia, Biological pest control, Host–pathogen interaction and Monilinia laxa. Her specific area of interest is Horticulture, where Neus Teixidó studies Monilinia fructicola. The study incorporates disciplines such as Biotic stress, Prunus and Postharvest in addition to Monilinia.

Her Postharvest research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Food science, Shelf life, Biopesticide and Microbial population biology. Her Biological pest control research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Fungicide. Her study looks at the intersection of Monilinia laxa and topics like Microbiology with Fungus and Effector.
