Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Fungus
  • Ecology

Her primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Plant disease resistance, Biochemistry, Gene and Agriculture. The various areas that Sarah J. Gurr examines in her Ecology study include PEST analysis and Biological dispersal. The concepts of her Plant disease resistance study are interwoven with issues in Oligosaccharide, Biotechnology and Fungicide.

Her Gene research entails a greater understanding of Genetics. Her Agriculture study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Disease surveillance and Crop. Sarah J. Gurr interconnects Fungal genetics, Stewardship and Drug resistance in the investigation of issues within Food security.

Her most cited work include:

  • Emerging fungal threats to animal, plant and ecosystem health (1609 citations)
  • Genome expansion and gene loss in powdery mildew fungi reveal tradeoffs in extreme parasitism (567 citations)
  • Crop pests and pathogens move polewards in a warming world (393 citations)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Microbiology, Gene, Botany, Food security and Ecology. Her study looks at the relationship between Microbiology and topics such as Cell wall, which overlap with Chitin and Polysaccharide. Genetics and Biochemistry are the focus of her Gene studies.

Her Food security research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Agroforestry, Crop protection and Crop. Her study in Ecology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both PEST analysis, Biological dispersal and Disease. Her research integrates issues of Disease surveillance and Temperate climate in her study of Agriculture.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (25.68%)
  • Gene (19.59%)
  • Botany (24.32%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

  • Food security (30.41%)
  • Crop (18.92%)
  • Agriculture (22.97%)

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

Sarah J. Gurr mainly focuses on Food security, Crop, Agriculture, Agroforestry and Microbiology. Her study on Food security is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Crop protection. She has included themes like Fungal genetics, Emerging technologies and Stewardship in her Crop protection study.

Ecology covers Sarah J. Gurr research in Agriculture. Her Agroforestry research incorporates themes from Resource, Biosecurity, Global biodiversity, Oomycete and PEST analysis. Her Microbiology study incorporates themes from Ustilago, Septoria, Carbohydrate, Function and Cell wall.

Between 2016 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Worldwide emergence of resistance to antifungal drugs challenges human health and food security. (352 citations)
  • Worldwide emergence of resistance to antifungal drugs challenges human health and food security. (352 citations)
  • Exploitation of endophytes for sustainable agricultural intensification. (58 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Fungus
  • DNA

Sarah J. Gurr mostly deals with Cell wall, Microbiology, Food security, Fungal protein and Chitin. Her Cell wall research includes themes of Carbohydrate, Function, Host, Appressorium and Cell shape. Food security is a subfield of Agriculture that Sarah J. Gurr studies.

Her research in Agriculture intersects with topics in Biodiversity, Ecology and Wildlife. Her work deals with themes such as Cell and Polysaccharide, which intersect with Fungal protein. Her work carried out in the field of Agroforestry brings together such families of science as Ecology, Agricultural intensification, Intensive farming, Plant productivity and Agrochemical.
