Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Fungus
  • Gene

Mycotoxin, Ochratoxin A, Botany, Horticulture and Aspergillus are her primary areas of study. The Mycotoxin study combines topics in areas such as Agriculture, Contamination and Fungi imperfecti. Her Contamination study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biotechnology, Aflatoxin and Agronomy.

Her study in the fields of Ochratoxin under the domain of Ochratoxin A overlaps with other disciplines such as Phyllosphere. Paola Battilani is involved in the study of Botany that focuses on Aspergillus flavus in particular. Her study looks at the relationship between Horticulture and fields such as Aspergillus carbonarius, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

Her most cited work include:

  • Climate change and food safety: An emerging issue with special focus on Europe (336 citations)
  • Aflatoxin B1 contamination in maize in Europe increases due to climate change. (213 citations)
  • Occurrence of ochratoxin A-producing fungi in grapes grown in Italy (200 citations)

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

Paola Battilani spends much of her time researching Mycotoxin, Botany, Horticulture, Fusarium and Ochratoxin A. Her study in Mycotoxin is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Contamination, Agronomy, Aspergillus and Aflatoxin. Her study on Botany is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Veterinary medicine.

Her work on Ripening, Dry rot and Cercospora as part of general Horticulture research is frequently linked to Water activity, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. The concepts of her Fusarium study are interwoven with issues in Biochemistry, Microbiology and Oxylipin. Her work carried out in the field of Ochratoxin A brings together such families of science as Vineyard and Wine.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Mycotoxin (30.74%)
  • Botany (22.51%)
  • Horticulture (21.21%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Mycotoxin (30.74%)
  • Aflatoxin (16.02%)
  • Horticulture (21.21%)

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

Paola Battilani focuses on Mycotoxin, Aflatoxin, Horticulture, Biotechnology and Fusarium. Her Mycotoxin research is under the purview of Food science. Her Aflatoxin research incorporates themes from Agriculture, Contamination, Fumonisin and Aspergillus flavus.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Ploidy, Aspergillus and Field conditions. Her study on Ochratoxin A and Aspergillus carbonarius is often connected to Medical laboratory as part of broader study in Biotechnology. Botany covers Paola Battilani research in Ochratoxin A.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Aflatoxin B1 contamination in maize in Europe increases due to climate change. (213 citations)
  • Modelling climate change impacts on mycotoxin contamination (54 citations)
  • Biological Control Products for Aflatoxin Prevention in Italy: Commercial Field Evaluation of Atoxigenic Aspergillus flavus Active Ingredients. (30 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Fungus
  • Agriculture

Paola Battilani mostly deals with Mycotoxin, Aflatoxin, Biotechnology, Contamination and Aspergillus flavus. She has included themes like Food safety, Food security, Agronomy and Fusarium in her Mycotoxin study. Her Aflatoxin research incorporates elements of Agriculture and Fumonisin.

Her research in Biotechnology intersects with topics in Species level and Postharvest. The various areas that Paola Battilani examines in her Aspergillus flavus study include Inoculation and Biological pest control. Her Ochratoxin A research is classified as research in Botany.
