What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

• Gene
• Botany
• Enzyme

Her primary areas of study are Botany, Gene, Mycorrhiza, Symbiosis and Gene expression. Her work deals with themes such as Lotus japonicus, Bacteria, Complementation, Regulation of gene expression and Glomeromycota, which intersect with Botany. Her Gene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cell wall and Cell biology.

The Mycorrhiza study combines topics in areas such as Glomus, Fungal genetics and Mycelium. The various areas that she examines in her Symbiosis study include Host and Genome, Genomics. Gene expression is a subfield of Biochemistry that Raffaella Balestrini investigates.

Her most cited work include:

• Périgord black truffle genome uncovers evolutionary origins and mechanisms of symbiosis (518 citations)
• Genome of an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus provides insight into the oldest plant symbiosis (451 citations)
• Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi as Natural Biofertilizers: Let's Benefit from Past Successes (273 citations)

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

Raffaella Balestrini mainly focuses on Botany, Symbiosis, Gene, Gene expression and Cell wall. Her work investigates the relationship between Botany and topics such as Mycorrhiza that intersect with problems in Mycelium. Her Symbiosis research incorporates themes from Ecology, Colonization, Host, Terrestrial plant and Abiotic component.

Raffaella Balestrini has included themes like Tuber melanosporum and Molecular biology in her Gene study. Her Cell wall study incorporates themes from Ripening, Hypha, Ectomycorrhiza and Cell biology. Her studies deal with areas such as Cell, Expansin, Mutant, Morphogenesis and Medicago truncatula as well as Cell biology.

She most often published in these fields:

• Botany (48.32%)
• Symbiosis (29.53%)
• Gene (21.48%)

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

• Symbiosis (29.53%)
• Botany (48.32%)
• Abiotic component (8.05%)

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

Raffaella Balestrini spends much of her time researching Symbiosis, Botany, Abiotic component, Horticulture and Host. Her Symbiosis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Nutrient, Water deficit, Trigonelline, Terrestrial plant and Computational biology. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Orchid mycorrhiza, Mycorrhiza and Ectomycorrhiza.

Her Abiotic component research includes elements of Cultivar, Crop, Aphid, Plant defense against herbivory and Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Her studies in Horticulture integrate themes in fields like Biotic stress, Abiotic stress and Organoleptic. As a part of the same scientific study, Raffaella Balestrini usually deals with the Organoleptic, concentrating on Postharvest and frequently concerns with Cell wall.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

• Pezizomycetes genomes reveal the molecular basis of ectomycorrhizal truffle lifestyle (37 citations)
• Impact of two arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on Arundo donax L. response to salt stress. (33 citations)
• The Association With Two Different Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Differently Affects Water Stress Tolerance in Tomato. (27 citations)

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

• Gene
• Botany
• Enzyme

Her main research concerns Abiotic component, Symbiosis, Botany, Horticulture and Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Her Abiotic component study also includes

• Agricultural productivity that intertwine with fields like Co2 concentration and Climate change,
• Aphid which intersects with area such as Plant nutrition, Biofertilizer, Organic farming and Nutrient. Her Symbiosis research includes themes of Terrestrial plant, Rhizosphere, Cultivar and Mycelium.

Her Botany study frequently links to other fields, such as Intracellular. Her Horticulture research also works with subjects such as

• Abiotic stress which is related to area like Volatile organic compound, Methyl salicylate, Obligate and Meloidogyne incognita,
• Biotic stress, which have a strong connection to Nematode infection and Plant defense against herbivory. Her Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi research incorporates elements of Microorganism, Bacteria and Water deficit.
