Overview

Rob W. Briddon is affiliated with the National Institute for Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering in Pakistan. Their research spans multiple areas within agricultural and biological sciences as well as biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology.

Briddon's work focuses significantly on plant science, with additional contributions to insect science, endocrinology, agronomy and crop science, and horticulture. Their main research topics include plant virus research studies, plant and fungal interactions, plant pathogenic bacteria, insect-plant interactions and control, plant-microbe interactions and immunity, agronomic practices and intercropping systems, as well as cocoa and sweet potato agronomy.

The scientist has authored numerous papers published in a range of venues. Notable recent publications include:

  • Asymptomatic populus alba: a tree serving as a reservoir of begomoviruses and associated satellites (2022, Australasian Plant Pathology)
  • Interaction of watermelon chlorotic stunt virus with satellites (2020, Australasian Plant Pathology)
  • qPCR Assay as a Tool for Examining Cotton Resistance to the Virus Complex Causing CLCuD: Yield Loss Inversely Correlates with Betasatellite, Not Virus, DNA Titer (2023, Plants)
  • Cotton leaf curl Multan betasatellite impaired ToLCNDV ability to maintain cotton leaf curl Multan alphasatellite (2022, Brazilian Journal of Biology)
  • Interaction of a tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus with a betasatellite enhances symptom severity in field-infected tomato plants (2021, Tropical Plant Pathology)

Briddon frequently collaborates with several coauthors, including Shahid Mansoor, Muhammad Shafiq, Imran Amin, Zafar Iqbal, and Muhammad Saeed. These collaborations have resulted in a substantial number of joint publications.

Key publication venues where Briddon's research appears repeatedly include Australasian Plant Pathology, Tropical Plant Pathology, Archives of Virology, Plants, and Brazilian Journal of Biology. Among these, Australasian Plant Pathology has published the most papers authored by Briddon.

The scientist's research contributions cover a broad spectrum of plant-related biological studies, with emphasis on virology involving plant viruses, their interaction with host plants and other microorganisms, and implications for agricultural productivity and disease management.
