Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Fungus
  • Ecology

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Lignin, Cell wall, Cellulose and Phanerochaete. His Botany study often links to related topics such as Microorganism. Robert A. Blanchette combines subjects such as Lignin peroxidase, Basidiomycota, Microbiology and Polysaccharide with his study of Lignin.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Ultrastructure, Decomposition, Cellulase, Hemicellulose and Phellinus pini. His Cellulose study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Biodegradation and Scanning electron microscope. As a part of the same scientific family, Robert A. Blanchette mostly works in the field of Phanerochaete, focusing on Chrysosporium and, on occasion, Peroxidase.

His most cited work include:

  • Microbial and Enzymatic Degradation of Wood and Wood Components (1086 citations)
  • The paleozoic origin of enzymatic lignin decomposition reconstructed from 31 fungal genomes (1059 citations)
  • Extensive sampling of basidiomycete genomes demonstrates inadequacy of the white-rot/brown-rot paradigm for wood decay fungi (398 citations)

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

Robert A. Blanchette focuses on Botany, Lignin, Ecology, Cell wall and Horticulture. His study looks at the relationship between Botany and fields such as Inoculation, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His Lignin research focuses on subjects like Cellulose, which are linked to Phellinus pini.

His Archaeology research extends to the thematically linked field of Ecology. Particularly relevant to Cultivar is his body of work in Horticulture. His research on Phanerochaete often connects related topics like Chrysosporium.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (56.99%)
  • Lignin (20.59%)
  • Ecology (10.29%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Botany (56.99%)
  • Lignin (20.59%)
  • Ecology (10.29%)

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

Robert A. Blanchette spends much of his time researching Botany, Lignin, Ecology, Basidiomycota and Fungus. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Agaricomycotina and Ascomycota. His Agaricomycotina research includes themes of Phylogenetic Pattern, Phylum and Genome, Genome size.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Depolymerization, Cellulose and Cell wall in addition to Lignin. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Wood-decay fungus, Gene and Microbiology. His study in the fields of Eucalyptus globulus under the domain of Eucalyptus overlaps with other disciplines such as Diaporthe.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Microbial and Enzymatic Degradation of Wood and Wood Components (1086 citations)
  • The paleozoic origin of enzymatic lignin decomposition reconstructed from 31 fungal genomes (1059 citations)
  • Extensive sampling of basidiomycete genomes demonstrates inadequacy of the white-rot/brown-rot paradigm for wood decay fungi (398 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Fungus
  • Ecology

Robert A. Blanchette mainly investigates Botany, Lignin, Eucalyptus, Diaporthe and Chrysosporium. His Botany study focuses on Hemicellulose in particular. His Lignin study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Basidiomycota, Cell wall, Agaricomycotina and Fungus.

In his study, Glycoside hydrolase and Depolymerization is strongly linked to Cellulose, which falls under the umbrella field of Cell wall. His Eucalyptus study incorporates themes from Phyllosticta and Pinus patula. The concepts of his Chrysosporium study are interwoven with issues in Laccase and Phanerochaete.
