Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • DNA

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Phytoplasma, Restriction fragment length polymorphism, Aster yellows and 16S ribosomal RNA. His studies deal with areas such as Botany and Phylogenetic tree as well as Phytoplasma. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Grapevine yellows, Candidatus Phytoplasma solani and Genome size.

His Restriction fragment length polymorphism study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Mollicutes and Ribosomal DNA. Robert E. Davis interconnects Phyllody and Elm yellows in the investigation of issues within Aster yellows. The study incorporates disciplines such as Genetic marker, Ribosomal RNA, Restriction enzyme and Sequence analysis in addition to 16S ribosomal RNA.

His most cited work include:

  • Revised Classification Scheme of Phytoplasmas based on RFLP Analyses of 16S rRNA and Ribosomal Protein Gene Sequences (829 citations)
  • Phytoplasma: phytopathogenic mollicutes. (712 citations)
  • Universal amplification and analysis of pathogen 16S rDNA for classification and identification of mycoplasmalike organisms (572 citations)

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

Robert E. Davis mainly investigates Phytoplasma, Botany, Genetics, Restriction fragment length polymorphism and 16S ribosomal RNA. His research integrates issues of Virology, Phylogenetic tree, Ribosomal RNA, Aster yellows and Phyllody in his study of Phytoplasma. His study focuses on the intersection of Aster yellows and fields such as Elm yellows with connections in the field of Flavescence dorée.

His Botany research includes elements of Host, Broom and Horticulture. His biological study deals with issues like Ribosomal DNA, which deal with fields such as RRNA Operon. His work carried out in the field of 16S ribosomal RNA brings together such families of science as Genetic diversity, Sequence analysis, Primer and Nested polymerase chain reaction.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Phytoplasma (52.51%)
  • Botany (42.47%)
  • Genetics (35.14%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Phytoplasma (52.51%)
  • Botany (42.47%)
  • Genetics (35.14%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Phytoplasma, Botany, Genetics, Restriction fragment length polymorphism and 16S ribosomal RNA. He interconnects Virology, Phylogenetic tree, Ribosomal RNA, Grapevine yellows and Host in the investigation of issues within Phytoplasma. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Potato purple top phytoplasma, Broom and Horticulture.

His Genetics study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Disease. His work investigates the relationship between Restriction fragment length polymorphism and topics such as Ribosomal DNA that intersect with problems in Flavescence dorée and RRNA Operon. His 16S ribosomal RNA study also includes

  • Sequence analysis which connect with Nested polymerase chain reaction,
  • Virescence together with Elm yellows.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • 'Candidatus Phytoplasma solani', a novel taxon associated with stolbur- and bois noir-related diseases of plants. (135 citations)
  • Phylogenetic analysis and delineation of phytoplasmas based on secY gene sequences. (96 citations)
  • 'Candidatus Phytoplasma pruni', a novel taxon associated with X-disease of stone fruits, Prunus spp.: multilocus characterization based on 16S rRNA, secY, and ribosomal protein genes. (83 citations)
