Samir Droby

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Gene
• Bacteria
• Botany

Samir Droby spends much of his time researching Postharvest, Horticulture, Botany, Biotechnology and Fungicide. His Postharvest research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Natural enemies, Biological pest control and Yeast. He combines subjects such as Moho and Agronomy with his study of Horticulture.

His research in Botany tackles topics such as Food science which are related to areas like Rutaceae and Monilinia. His Fungicide research focuses on Fruits and vegetables and how it relates to Legume. His research integrates issues of Spore germination, Spore, Penicillium italicum and Citrus paradisi in his study of Penicillium digitatum.

His most cited work include:

• Twenty years of postharvest biocontrol research: Is it time for a new paradigm? (459 citations)
• Effects of ethylene and 1-methylcyclopropene on the postharvest qualities of ‘Shamouti’ oranges (262 citations)
• Review: Utilization of antagonistic yeasts to manage postharvest fungal diseases of fruit. (259 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Postharvest, Horticulture, Botany, Yeast and Penicillium digitatum. His research in Postharvest intersects with topics in Microbiome, Fungicide, Biotechnology, Botrytis cinerea and Biological pest control. The Horticulture study combines topics in areas such as Fruits and vegetables and Agronomy.

His work on Fungi imperfecti, Monilinia fructicola, Moho and Alternaria as part of general Botany research is frequently linked to Ultraviolet light, bridging the gap between disciplines. Samir Droby studied Yeast and Reactive oxygen species that intersect with Catalase. He interconnects Plant disease resistance, Spore germination, Microbiology, Chitinase and Citrus paradisi in the investigation of issues within Penicillium digitatum.

He most often published in these fields:

• Postharvest (47.83%)
• Horticulture (37.89%)
• Botany (29.19%)

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

• Postharvest (47.83%)
• Microbiome (7.45%)
• Horticulture (37.89%)

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

Samir Droby mainly focuses on Postharvest, Microbiome, Horticulture, Biotechnology and Penicillium expansum. His Postharvest research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Fungicide, Bacteria, Disease management, Biological pest control and Penicillium. His Microbiome study incorporates themes from Mycotoxin, Epiphyte, Crop and Microbial population biology.

The Horticulture study combines topics in areas such as Microbial ecology and Quarantine. His Biotechnology research includes elements of Sustainability and Metagenomics. In his work, Microbiology, Gene, Blue mold and Pathogen is strongly intertwined with Effector, which is a subfield of Penicillium expansum.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Apple endophytic microbiota of different rootstock/scion combinations suggests a genotype-specific influence. (53 citations)
• The fruit microbiome: A new frontier for postharvest biocontrol and postharvest biology (45 citations)
• Genome Sequence, Assembly and Characterization of Two Metschnikowia fructicola Strains Used as Biocontrol Agents of Postharvest Diseases. (24 citations)

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

• Gene
• Bacteria
• Botany

His main research concerns Horticulture, Microbiome, Postharvest, Metagenomics and Biotechnology. His studies in Horticulture integrate themes in fields like Pathogen and Microbial ecology. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Microbiome, Fumigation, Fusarium and Mycotoxin is strongly linked to Microbial population biology.

Many of his research projects under Postharvest are closely connected to Bioreporter with Bioreporter, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His Metagenomics research incorporates elements of Fruits and vegetables, Beneficial organism, Computational biology and Plant breeding. His Biotechnology research includes themes of Metaproteomics, Sustainability and Biological pest control.
