What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
His primary scientific interests are in Phytophthora infestans, Oomycete, Genetics, Gene and Botany.
His Phytophthora infestans research incorporates elements of Plant disease resistance, Microbiology, Functional genomics, Molecular biology and Elicitin.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Zoospore, Phytophthora and Saprolegnia in addition to Oomycete.
His research in Phytophthora intersects with topics in Whole genome sequencing and Blight.
His work in Genetics addresses issues such as Effector, which are connected to fields such as Type three secretion system.
His Gene study incorporates themes from Hyphal tip, Mycelium and Sporangium.
His most cited work include:
- Genome sequence and analysis of the Irish potato famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans. (1066 citations)
- A translocation signal for delivery of oomycete effector proteins into host plant cells (614 citations)
- EST Mining and Functional Expression Assays Identify Extracellular Effector Proteins From the Plant Pathogen Phytophthora (313 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Pieter van West mostly deals with Oomycete, Microbiology, Phytophthora infestans, Botany and Effector.
His research integrates issues of Zoospore, Phytophthora and Saprolegnia in his study of Oomycete.
Pieter van West focuses mostly in the field of Microbiology, narrowing it down to topics relating to Biochemistry and, in certain cases, Antibody.
His Phytophthora infestans study is concerned with the larger field of Genetics.
His study on Brown algae, Blight and Algae is often connected to Aphanomyces as part of broader study in Botany.
His Effector study also includes
- Secretion that connect with fields like Innate immune system,
- Signal peptide that intertwine with fields like Type three secretion system.
He most often published in these fields:
- Oomycete (51.28%)
- Microbiology (29.06%)
- Phytophthora infestans (26.50%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?
- Oomycete (51.28%)
- Botany (23.93%)
- Microbiology (29.06%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Pieter van West focuses on Oomycete, Botany, Microbiology, Brown algae and Ecology.
His research on Oomycete concerns the broader Pathogen.
His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Obligate parasite and Rhizaria.
His study in Microbiology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Defence mechanisms, Gene and Ectocarpus siliculosus.
His Gene study deals with the bigger picture of Genetics.
When carried out as part of a general Ecology research project, his work on Biodiversity, Abundance, Hatching and Sea turtle is frequently linked to work in Endangered species, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Cell entry of a host-targeting protein of oomycetes requires gp96. (66 citations)
- Emerging oomycete threats to plants and animals (56 citations)
- Chaxapeptin, a Lasso Peptide from Extremotolerant Streptomyces leeuwenhoekii Strain C58 from the Hyperarid Atacama Desert (55 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Oomycete, Effector, Botany, Brown algae and Microbiology.
Many of his research projects under Oomycete are closely connected to Plasmopara obducens with Plasmopara obducens, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
His Effector study combines topics in areas such as Cytoplasm and Peptide sequence.
His Botany research integrates issues from Obligate parasite and Rhizaria.
His work on Saprolegnia parasitica as part of general Microbiology study is frequently linked to Superoxide, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.
Pieter van West has researched Phytophthora infestans in several fields, including Ecology and Aquaculture.
