Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Bacteria

Petr Karlovsky mainly investigates Botany, Mycotoxin, Fusarium, Microbiology and Trichothecene. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Plant disease resistance and Arabidopsis. His study on Mycotoxin is covered under Food science.

Petr Karlovsky combines subjects such as Biotechnology, Detoxification and Fusaric acid with his study of Food science. His studies in Fusarium integrate themes in fields like Toxin and Food contaminant. His study in the field of Hypha is also linked to topics like Nocardioides.

His most cited work include:

  • Masked mycotoxins: A review (477 citations)
  • Biological detoxification of fungal toxins and its use in plant breeding, feed and food production. (236 citations)
  • Impact of food processing and detoxification treatments on mycotoxin contamination. (232 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Fusarium, Botany, Mycotoxin, Horticulture and Agronomy. His work deals with themes such as Inoculation, Fungus and Microbiology, which intersect with Fusarium. His studies deal with areas such as Plant disease resistance and Host as well as Botany.

Mycotoxin is the subject of his research, which falls under Food science. His Food science research is mostly focused on the topic Patulin. Petr Karlovsky has included themes like Arabidopsis thaliana and Xylem in his Verticillium longisporum study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Fusarium (31.18%)
  • Botany (30.59%)
  • Mycotoxin (26.47%)

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

  • Fusarium (31.18%)
  • Horticulture (12.94%)
  • Mycotoxin (26.47%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Fusarium, Horticulture, Mycotoxin, Botany and Inoculation. His Fusarium study combines topics in areas such as Range, Legume, Agronomy and Fusarium solani, Microbiology. His Horticulture study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Abscisic acid and Fungus.

He is interested in Zearalenone, which is a field of Mycotoxin. His Botany study incorporates themes from Metabolic diversity and Host. His Inoculation research integrates issues from Verticillium dahliae, Starch, Wilting, Jasmonic acid and Plant defense against herbivory.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Ethyl carbamate: An emerging food and environmental toxicant. (31 citations)
  • Insect pollination as a key factor for strawberry physiology and marketable fruit quality (20 citations)
  • The ‘forma specialis’ issue in Fusarium: A case study in Fusarium solani f. sp. pisi (20 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Bacteria

His primary scientific interests are in Fusarium, Mycotoxin, Horticulture, Fusarium culmorum and Toxicology. His Fusarium research incorporates elements of Legume, Agronomy, Root rot, Living mulch and Cover crop. His studies link Range with Mycotoxin.

He has researched Horticulture in several fields, including Water-use efficiency and Plant physiology. His research in Fusarium culmorum intersects with topics in Fungal DNA, Chromosomal translocation, Plant science, Microbiology and Crown. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Fumonisin, Ochratoxin, Crop and Zearalenone, Aflatoxin.
