Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Plant virus, Plutella, Aphid and Virology. His research integrates issues of Food science and Wax in his study of Botany. His Plutella study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Spodoptera eridania and Crucifer.

His Aphid research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Luteovirus, Aphididae and Potato leafroll virus. His study in Potato leafroll virus is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Polerovirus and Horticulture. His work in Virology covers topics such as Host which are related to areas like Viral vector, Luteoviridae, Phenotype and Pathogen.

His most cited work include:

  • Volatiles from potato plants infected with potato leafroll virus attract and arrest the virus vector, Myzus persicae (Homoptera: Aphididae) (278 citations)
  • Leaf Epicuticular Waxes of the Eceriferum Mutants in Arabidopsis. (261 citations)
  • Plant viruses alter insect behavior to enhance their spread (235 citations)

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

Botany, Aphid, Agronomy, Ecology and Horticulture are his primary areas of study. Sanford D. Eigenbrode interconnects Hippodamia convergens, Coccinellidae and Wax in the investigation of issues within Botany. Sanford D. Eigenbrode combines subjects such as Acyrthosiphon pisum, Rhopalosiphum padi, Aphididae and Plant virus with his study of Aphid.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Pisum and Biological pest control in addition to Acyrthosiphon pisum. His work on Agronomy is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as PEST analysis. In his research, Polerovirus is intimately related to Potato leafroll virus, which falls under the overarching field of Myzus persicae.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (31.91%)
  • Aphid (26.06%)
  • Agronomy (23.40%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Aphid (26.06%)
  • Agronomy (23.40%)
  • Ecology (17.55%)

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

His primary areas of study are Aphid, Agronomy, Ecology, Climate change and Plant virus. The various areas that he examines in his Aphid study include Rhopalosiphum padi, Acyrthosiphon pisum, Aphididae and Host. His Aphididae study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Botany.

His work carried out in the field of Agronomy brings together such families of science as PEST analysis and Food quality. His Climate change research incorporates elements of Agroforestry, Environmental protection, Agriculture, Climate change and agriculture and Sustainability. Sanford D. Eigenbrode works mostly in the field of Plant virus, limiting it down to topics relating to Chemical ecology and, in certain cases, Disease ecology.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A global synthesis of the effects of diversified farming systems on arthropod diversity within fields and across agricultural landscapes (127 citations)
  • Insect-Borne Plant Pathogens and Their Vectors: Ecology, Evolution, and Complex Interactions. (91 citations)
  • Preference by a virus vector for infected plants is reversed after virus acquisition (68 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

Sanford D. Eigenbrode mainly focuses on Ecology, Aphid, Agronomy, Climate change and Myzus persicae. His Aphid research includes themes of Rhopalosiphum padi, Diaeretiella rapae and Aphididae. Horticulture covers he research in Rhopalosiphum padi.

His Myzus persicae research incorporates themes from Virology and Potato virus Y. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Virology, concentrating on Pathosystem and intersecting with Virus. Plant virus is closely connected to Transmission in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Insect.
