  • 2011 - Fellow of the American Phytopathological Society

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Horticulture
  • Fungus

Themis J. Michailides mainly investigates Botany, Horticulture, Fungicide, Blight and Fungi imperfecti. His research ties Internal transcribed spacer and Botany together. The study incorporates disciplines such as Agronomy and Spore in addition to Horticulture.

His Fungicide research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Alternaria alternata, Biotechnology and Microbiology. He combines subjects such as Canker and RAPD with his study of Blight. His Fungi imperfecti study combines topics in areas such as Ochratoxins, Mycotoxin, Ochratoxin and Aflatoxin.

His most cited work include:

  • Advances in understanding molecular mechanisms of fungicide resistance and molecular detection of resistant genotypes in phytopathogenic fungi (368 citations)
  • Progress in understanding molecular mechanisms and evolution of resistance to succinate dehydrogenase inhibiting (SDHI) fungicides in phytopathogenic fungi (219 citations)
  • Ochratoxin Production by the Aspergillus ochraceus Group and Aspergillus alliaceus (210 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Horticulture, Botany, Fungicide, Blight and Orchard. Themis J. Michailides regularly ties together related areas like Spore in his Horticulture studies. Botany is represented through his Fruit tree, Monilinia fructicola, Rosaceae, Conidium and Mycelium research.

His studies in Fungicide integrate themes in fields like Botrytis cinerea and Alternaria alternata. Themis J. Michailides focuses mostly in the field of Blight, narrowing it down to topics relating to Cultivar and, in certain cases, Pistacia. In Botryosphaeria dothidea, Themis J. Michailides works on issues like Neofusicoccum, which are connected to Diplodia and Canker.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Horticulture (59.32%)
  • Botany (57.03%)
  • Fungicide (23.19%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Horticulture (59.32%)
  • Botany (57.03%)
  • Fungicide (23.19%)

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

His main research concerns Horticulture, Botany, Fungicide, Blight and Mycelium. Horticulture is a component of his Inoculation, Shoot, Canker, Cultivar and Orchard studies. The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Genetic marker and Internal transcribed spacer, Phylogenetic tree.

His Fungicide research incorporates themes from Botrytis cinerea, Alternaria alternata and Alternaria. His work deals with themes such as Botryosphaeriaceae and Panicle, which intersect with Blight. His research in Mycelium intersects with topics in Pathogenicity, Germination and Monilinia.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Phylogeny, Morphology, Distribution, and Pathogenicity of Botryosphaeriaceae and Diaporthaceae from English Walnut in California (47 citations)
  • Spread of Aspergillus flavus by Navel Orangeworm (Amyelois transitella) on Almond (32 citations)
  • Evaluation of the Atoxigenic Aspergillus flavus Strain AF36 in Pistachio Orchards (32 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Fungus
  • Horticulture

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Horticulture, Fungicide, Botrytis cinerea and Aspergillus flavus. His studies deal with areas such as Botryosphaeriaceae and Internal transcribed spacer, Phylogenetic tree as well as Botany. His work carried out in the field of Fungicide brings together such families of science as Alternaria alternata and Postharvest.

In his work, Monilinia fructicola and Microbiology is strongly intertwined with Gene, which is a subfield of Postharvest. His studies examine the connections between Botrytis cinerea and genetics, as well as such issues in Species complex, with regards to Table grape, genomic DNA, Genetic marker, Restriction fragment length polymorphism and Locus. His Aspergillus flavus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Contamination, Biological pest control and Aflatoxin.
