Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Fungus

His main research concerns Botany, Endophyte, Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense, Taxonomy and Hypocrea. His study in Botany is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Hypocreales, Host and Colonization. In the subject of general Host, his work in Fungal endophyte is often linked to Mycorrhizal fungi, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

His work deals with themes such as Alternaria alternata, Colonisation, Xylem, Phyllosticta and Poaceae, which intersect with Endophyte. His work deals with themes such as Canopy and Chamaecyparis lawsoniana, which intersect with Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense. His Taxonomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Trichodermin, Hypocreaceae and Microbiology.

His most cited work include:

  • Fungal Endophytes of Tree Leaves (724 citations)
  • Ecology, metabolite production, and substrate utilization in endophytic fungi. (343 citations)
  • Taxonomy of endophytic fungi of aerial plant tissues (306 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Endophyte, Taxonomy, Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense and Microbiology. His Botany study incorporates themes from Host and Colonization. The Endophyte study combines topics in areas such as Phyllosticta, Fagus sylvatica, Fungi imperfecti and Poaceae.

To a larger extent, Orlando Petrini studies Ecology with the aim of understanding Taxonomy. His Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Woody plant and Fungus. His Microbiology research includes elements of Cell wall and Mass spectrometry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (54.10%)
  • Endophyte (22.13%)
  • Taxonomy (13.11%)

  • Mass spectrometry (5.74%)
  • Microbiology (12.30%)
  • Ecology (9.02%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Mass spectrometry, Microbiology, Ecology, Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization and Phylogenetic tree. His work in the fields of Mass spectrometry, such as Mass spectrum, overlaps with other areas such as Epidermophyton, Microsporum and Arthrodermataceae. His research in Microbiology intersects with topics in Immunology and CATS.

Orlando Petrini regularly links together related areas like Rosellinia in his Ecology studies. His Phylogenetic tree study combines topics in areas such as Dendrogram, Hyphomycetes and Mycelium. His work investigates the relationship between Hyphomycetes and topics such as Internal transcribed spacer that intersect with problems in Horticulture, Colonisation and Ascomycota.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Identification of dermatophytes by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (66 citations)
  • A Rapid MALDI-TOF MS Identification Database at Genospecies Level for Clinical and Environmental Aeromonas Strains (44 citations)
  • Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization–Time of Flight (MALDI-TOF) Mass Spectrometry Using the Vitek MS System for Rapid and Accurate Identification of Dermatophytes on Solid Cultures (40 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Fungus

His scientific interests lie mostly in Microbiology, Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization, Mass spectrometry, Epidermophyton and Microsporum. Orlando Petrini has included themes like Immunology and CATS in his Microbiology study. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization combines with fields such as Rapid identification, Database, Time-of-flight mass spectrometry, Identification methods and Genus Aeromonas in his work.

Orlando Petrini has researched Mass spectrometry in several fields, including Phylogenetic tree and Dermatophyte.
