Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Genus
  • Ecology

Susumu Takamatsu spends much of his time researching Botany, Erysiphales, Powdery mildew, Phylogenetic tree and Internal transcribed spacer. His studies in Erysiphe, Podosphaera, Sphaerotheca, Taxonomy and Genus are all subfields of Botany research. In his research, Tribe is intimately related to Phylogenetics, which falls under the overarching field of Erysiphales.

He regularly ties together related areas like Genetics in his Powdery mildew studies. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Phylogenetic tree, Monophyly, Geoglossaceae, Geoglossum, Helotiales and Phylogenetic nomenclature is strongly linked to Evolutionary biology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Mycology and Ribosomal DNA.

His most cited work include:

  • Phylogeny of Erysiphe, Microsphaera, Uncinula (Erysipheae) and Cystotheca, Podosphaera, Sphaerotheca (Cystotheceae) inferred from rDNA ITS sequences, some taxonomic consequences (208 citations)
  • Evolutionary analysis of the powdery mildew fungi using nucleotide sequences of the nuclear ribosomal DNA. (156 citations)
  • Nucleotide sequence diversity of rDNA internal transcribed spacers extracted from conidia and cleistothecia of several powdery mildew fungi (156 citations)

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

Susumu Takamatsu mostly deals with Botany, Powdery mildew, Erysiphales, Erysiphe and Taxonomy. His studies deal with areas such as Molecular phylogenetics, Phylogenetic tree, Internal transcribed spacer, Phylogenetics and Ribosomal DNA as well as Botany. His Phylogenetic tree study incorporates themes from Evolutionary biology and Taxon.

His Powdery mildew research includes elements of Fungus and Conidium. His Erysiphales research integrates issues from Ascomycota, Molecular clock, Species complex and Genus, Tribe. His work deals with themes such as Japonica, Fungi imperfecti and Nothofagus, which intersect with Erysiphe.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (86.19%)
  • Powdery mildew (62.98%)
  • Erysiphales (48.62%)

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

  • Botany (86.19%)
  • Powdery mildew (62.98%)
  • Erysiphales (48.62%)

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

Susumu Takamatsu mainly focuses on Botany, Powdery mildew, Erysiphales, Taxonomy and Erysiphe. As a part of the same scientific family, Susumu Takamatsu mostly works in the field of Botany, focusing on Ascomycota and, on occasion, DNA sequencing. The concepts of his Powdery mildew study are interwoven with issues in Host, Fungus, Conidium and Phylogenetic tree.

His Erysiphales research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Calycina and Evergreen. His research on Taxonomy also deals with topics like

  • Phylogenetics together with Zoology,
  • Species complex which is related to area like Heliantheae and Eupatorium. His study in Erysiphe is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Helotiales, Internal transcribed spacer, Monophyly and Molecular phylogenetics.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Outline of Fungi and fungus-like taxa (97 citations)
  • Outline of Fungi and fungus-like taxa (97 citations)
  • Morphophylogenetic study revealed that Erysiphe gracilis (powdery mildew of evergreen oaks, Erysiphales) is a species complex consisting of six different species (9 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Genus
  • Ecology

Susumu Takamatsu focuses on Botany, Erysiphales, Powdery mildew, Species complex and Phylogenetics. His Botany research focuses on subjects like Ascomycota, which are linked to Phylum. His Erysiphales study combines topics in areas such as Range, Verbena, Oidium and Evergreen.

His Powdery mildew research focuses on Conidium and how it connects with Fungus, Pathogen, Cultivar and Internal transcribed spacer. His Phylogenetics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Zoology, Taxonomy and Phyllactinia. His studies in Zoology integrate themes in fields like Mimosa aculeaticarpa, Bauhinia and Ribosomal DNA, Phylogenetic tree.
