Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Bacteria

Teresa A. Coutinho focuses on Botany, Canker, Botryosphaeriaceae, Botryosphaeria and Eucalyptus. Teresa A. Coutinho has included themes like Lasiodiplodia and Pathogen in her Botany study. Her study in Canker is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Outbreak and Pinus radiata.

In her study, Introduced species and Lasiodiplodia theobromae is strongly linked to Syzygium cordatum, which falls under the umbrella field of Botryosphaeriaceae. Her Botryosphaeria study which covers Dothiorella that intersects with Host. Her Eucalyptus study incorporates themes from Agroforestry, Spots, Tropics, Ralstonia solanacearum and Myrtaceae.

Her most cited work include:

  • Combined multiple gene genealogies and phenotypic characters differentiate several species previously identified as Botryosphaeria dothidea (272 citations)
  • Phylogeny and identification of Pantoea species associated with plants, humans and the natural environment based on multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) (210 citations)
  • Eucalyptus rust: a disease with the potential for serious international implications. (203 citations)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Eucalyptus, Canker, Horticulture and Genetics. Her studies examine the connections between Botany and genetics, as well as such issues in Phylogenetics, with regards to Evolutionary biology. Her work focuses on many connections between Eucalyptus and other disciplines, such as Agroforestry, that overlap with her field of interest in Natural enemies, Tropics and Southern Hemisphere.

Her studies deal with areas such as Outbreak, Fusarium subglutinans and Pinus radiata as well as Canker. Her study focuses on the intersection of Taxonomy and fields such as Botryosphaeria with connections in the field of Neofusicoccum and Botryosphaeriaceae. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Microbiology and Bacteria.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (48.79%)
  • Eucalyptus (16.91%)
  • Canker (16.43%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Botany (48.79%)
  • Genetics (14.49%)
  • Gene (9.18%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Botany, Genetics, Gene, Horticulture and Xanthomonas vasicola. Her work on Eucalyptus as part of general Botany research is frequently linked to Green leaf volatiles, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her work in Eucalyptus tackles topics such as Ralstonia solanacearum which are related to areas like Bacterial wilt and Sensu.

The Genetics study combines topics in areas such as Taxon and Identification. Her Gene study deals with Bacteria intersecting with Microbiology, Methyl salicylate, Antimicrobial and Terpene. Her Horticulture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Pectobacterium wasabiae, Pathogenicity and Dickeya dadantii.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Roles of plant volatiles in defence against microbial pathogens and microbial exploitation of volatiles (43 citations)
  • New and Interesting Fungi. 2. (25 citations)
  • Phylogenomic resolution of the bacterial genus Pantoea and its relationship with Erwinia and Tatumella. (22 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Bacteria

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Pantoea, Bacteria, Genome and Genetics. She studies Eucalyptus, a branch of Botany. Teresa A. Coutinho works mostly in the field of Eucalyptus, limiting it down to topics relating to Phylotype and, in certain cases, Sequence analysis.

The concepts of her Pantoea study are interwoven with issues in Phytoene synthase and Carotenoid. Teresa A. Coutinho works mostly in the field of Bacteria, limiting it down to concerns involving Gene and, occasionally, Microbiology. Her Genome research includes themes of Quorum sensing and Stewart's wilt.
