Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Essential oil

Essential oil, Botany, Chromatography, Food science and Linalool are his primary areas of study. Essential oil is frequently linked to Horticulture in his study. His Solid-phase microextraction and Gas chromatography study in the realm of Chromatography connects with subjects such as Microwave.

In his study, Chemical structure, Mange, Acaricide and Mite is inextricably linked to Phenols, which falls within the broad field of Food science. His study in Linalool is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sativum, Coriandrum, Monoterpene and Diflubenzuron. His research integrates issues of Staphylococcus epidermidis, Micrococcaceae, Staphylococcus aureus, Biofilm and Microbiology in his study of Thymol.

His most cited work include:

  • Effects of oregano, carvacrol and thymol on Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilms. (351 citations)
  • Essential oils from Mediterranean lamiaceae as weed germination inhibitors. (166 citations)
  • The inhibition of Candida albicans by selected essential oils and their major components (150 citations)

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

His main research concerns Botany, Essential oil, Horticulture, Chemical composition and Sesquiterpene. His Botany and Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Monoterpene, Linalool and Germacrene D investigations all form part of his Botany research activities. Pier Luigi Cioni has included themes like Caryophyllene oxide, Camphor and Bark in his Asteraceae study.

His studies deal with areas such as Officinalis, Rosmarinus, Hyptis suaveolens, Salvia and Germacrene as well as Lamiaceae. He has researched Essential oil in several fields, including Gas chromatography and Apiaceae. His Chemical composition study deals with Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry intersecting with Aroma.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (72.67%)
  • Essential oil (57.33%)
  • Horticulture (20.67%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Botany (72.67%)
  • Essential oil (57.33%)
  • Horticulture (20.67%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Essential oil, Horticulture, Aroma and Linalool. The study incorporates disciplines such as Gas chromatography and Chemical composition in addition to Botany. He is involved in the study of Essential oil that focuses on Myrcene in particular.

The concepts of his Horticulture study are interwoven with issues in Sesquiterpene, Aromatic plants, Salvia and Apiol. His Aroma research includes elements of Olive oil and Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. His Linalool research incorporates themes from Insect, Lavandula angustifolia, Lavender and Whitefly.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Mediterranean essential oils as effective weapons against the West Nile vector Culex pipiens and the Echinostoma intermediate host Physella acuta: what happens around? An acute toxicity survey on non-target mayflies. (48 citations)
  • Phytochemical Profile, Antioxidant and Antidiabetic Activities of Adansonia digitata L. (Baobab) from Mali, as a Source of Health-Promoting Compounds. (26 citations)
  • Latitude and Altitude Influence Secondary Metabolite Production in Peripheral Alpine Populations of the Mediterranean Species Lavandula angustifolia Mill. (22 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Essential oil

Pier Luigi Cioni mainly investigates Botany, Horticulture, Essential oil, Chemical composition and Rhus coriaria. Botany connects with themes related to Gas chromatography in his study. The concepts of his Horticulture study are interwoven with issues in Linalool, Linalyl acetate and Lavandula angustifolia, Lavender.

He has included themes like Zoology and Achillea millefolium in his Essential oil study. His Chemical composition research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and Aroma. His Rhus coriaria study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sesquiterpene, Monoterpene, Anacardiaceae and Mass spectrometry.
