Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Biochemistry
  • Organic chemistry

His primary scientific interests are in Aspergillus flavus, Aflatoxin, Mycotoxin, Agronomy and Preharvest. His specific area of interest is Aspergillus flavus, where Richard J. Cole studies Aspergillus parasiticus. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Arachis hypogaea, Botany, Horticulture, Contamination and Cyclopiazonic acid.

His Botany research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Isolation and Isolation. He works mostly in the field of Cyclopiazonic acid, limiting it down to concerns involving Aspergillus and, occasionally, Metabolite. Richard J. Cole combines subjects such as Environmental chemistry, Dermatology and Identification with his study of Mycotoxin.

His most cited work include:

  • Handbook of toxic fungal metabolites (643 citations)
  • trans-resveratrol content in commercial peanuts and peanut products. (197 citations)
  • Toxin from Fusarium moniliforme: Effects on Plants and Animals. (194 citations)

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

Richard J. Cole mainly focuses on Aflatoxin, Mycotoxin, Aspergillus flavus, Microbiology and Cyclopiazonic acid. His Aflatoxin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Arachis hypogaea, Contamination and Aspergillus. His studies in Mycotoxin integrate themes in fields like Toxin, Median lethal dose and Animal science.

His work deals with themes such as Agronomy, Preharvest and Horticulture, which intersect with Aspergillus flavus. His Microbiology research integrates issues from Strain and Botany. His Cyclopiazonic acid research includes themes of Oral administration, Endocrinology and Toxicity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Aflatoxin (29.57%)
  • Mycotoxin (29.03%)
  • Aspergillus flavus (18.28%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1990-2004)?

  • Aflatoxin (29.57%)
  • Aspergillus flavus (18.28%)
  • Mycotoxin (29.03%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Aflatoxin, Aspergillus flavus, Mycotoxin, Aspergillus parasiticus and Biotechnology. Richard J. Cole interconnects Arachis hypogaea, Contamination and Animal science in the investigation of issues within Aflatoxin. The study incorporates disciplines such as Toxin, Linear regression and Biological pest control, Horticulture in addition to Contamination.

The Aspergillus flavus study combines topics in areas such as Agronomy and Preharvest. Richard J. Cole combines Mycotoxin and Bentonite in his research. He has researched Aspergillus parasiticus in several fields, including Metabolite and Quantitative analysis.

Between 1990 and 2004, his most popular works were:

  • trans-resveratrol content in commercial peanuts and peanut products. (197 citations)
  • Aflatoxin reduction in corn through field application of competitive fungi. (117 citations)
  • Effect of application of nontoxigenic strains of Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus on subsequent aflatoxin contamination of peanuts in storage (95 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Biochemistry
  • Organic chemistry

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Aspergillus parasiticus, Aspergillus flavus, Aflatoxin, Agronomy and Preharvest. His Aspergillus parasiticus study improves the overall literature in Mycotoxin. His studies deal with areas such as Biological pest control and Animal science as well as Mycotoxin.

His Agronomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Moisture, Inoculation, Aflatoxin contamination and Conidium. His work is dedicated to discovering how Preharvest, Crop are connected with Soil water and Biotechnology and other disciplines. His studies examine the connections between Arachis hypogaea and genetics, as well as such issues in Contamination, with regards to Botany and Postharvest.
