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

Stanley Freeman mainly focuses on Botany, Fusarium, Inoculation, Taxonomy and Ambrosia beetle. In his works, Stanley Freeman performs multidisciplinary study on Botany and Gynoecium. The study incorporates disciplines such as Simmondsia chinensis, Molecular phylogenetics, Identification, Hormone and Cytokinin in addition to Fusarium.

The Inoculation study combines topics in areas such as Cultivar, In vivo and Wilting. His work carried out in the field of Taxonomy brings together such families of science as Xyleborini, Phylogenetics and Species complex. His Ambrosia beetle research incorporates elements of Brachychiton, Myrtaceae, Euwallacea fornicatus, Host and Salicaceae.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Epidemiology, pathology and identification of Colletotrichum including a novel species associated with avocado (Persea americana) anthracnose in Israel. (31 citations)
  • Production and Role of Hormones During Interaction of Fusarium Species With Maize (Zea mays L.) Seedlings. (14 citations)
  • Three novel Ambrosia Fusarium Clade species producing clavate macroconidia known (F. floridanum and F. obliquiseptatum) or predicted (F. tuaranense) to be farmed by Euwallacea spp. (Coleoptera: Scolytinae) on woody hosts (9 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Fungus
  • Gene

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Taxonomy, Fusarium, Sensu and Xyleborini. His research links Auxin with Botany. His Fusarium study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Host–pathogen interaction, Pathogen, Plant hormone, Hormone and Cytokinin.

His Sensu research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Colletotrichum, Persea, Genetic diversity and Phylogenetic tree. His Genetic diversity study frequently links to related topics such as Phylogenetics. He has researched Xyleborini in several fields, including Fungiculture, Species complex and Ambrosia fungi.
