Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Fungus
  • Gene

Stanley Freeman mainly investigates Botany, Fungi imperfecti, Colletotrichum, Colletotrichum acutatum and Internal transcribed spacer. Stanley Freeman has researched Botany in several fields, including Euwallacea fornicatus and Horticulture. His work in Fungi imperfecti addresses issues such as Fragaria, which are connected to fields such as Spacer DNA, Molecular epidemiology, Weed and Solanaceae.

His studies in Colletotrichum integrate themes in fields like Host, Mutant and Microbiology, Spore. The Colletotrichum acutatum study which covers Rosaceae that intersects with Iprodione, Colletotrichum fragariae, Inoculation and Fungicide. His Internal transcribed spacer research incorporates elements of Polymerase chain reaction, Genetic diversity and Ribosomal DNA.

His most cited work include:

  • Characterization of Colletotrichum species responsible for anthracnose diseases of various fruits. (324 citations)
  • Deciphering the cryptic genome : genome-wide analyses of the rice pathogen Fusarium fujikuroi reveal complex regulation of secondary metabolism and novel metabolites (290 citations)
  • Genetic conversion of a fungal plant pathogen to a nonpathogenic, endophytic mutualist. (209 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Horticulture, Fusarium, Inoculation and Fungi imperfecti. His research on Botany frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Colletotrichum acutatum. His Fusarium research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Crop, Ambrosia beetle, Species complex, Taxonomy and Orchard.

His research in Inoculation intersects with topics in Bioassay and Wilting. His Fungi imperfecti study combines topics in areas such as Anemone, Genetic diversity, Internal transcribed spacer, Rosaceae and Ribosomal DNA. His Colletotrichum research integrates issues from Genotype and Polymerase chain reaction.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (65.05%)
  • Horticulture (29.13%)
  • Fusarium (23.30%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Botany (65.05%)
  • Fusarium (23.30%)
  • Inoculation (17.48%)

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.
