Theodor O. Diener

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• DNA
• Gene
• RNA

Theodor O. Diener mainly investigates Biochemistry, Viroid, Potato spindle tuber viroid, RNA and Virology. His Biochemistry research incorporates themes from Infectivity and Virus. His Virus research incorporates elements of Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Phylogenetic tree.

His Viroid study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Evolutionary biology, Root crops and Botany. His Potato spindle tuber viroid study combines topics in areas such as Avsunviroidae and DNA. His research integrates issues of Nucleic acid thermodynamics and Recombinant DNA in his study of Virology.

His most cited work include:

• Potato spindle tuber "virus". IV. A replicating, low molecular weight RNA. (309 citations)
• Sensitive and rapid diagnosis of potato spindle tuber viroid disease by nucleic Acid hybridization. (198 citations)
• Circular RNAs: relics of precellular evolution? (130 citations)

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

His main research concerns Virology, Viroid, Potato spindle tuber viroid, RNA and Biochemistry. His Viroid research includes elements of Complementary DNA, Base pair and Phylogenetic tree. His Potato spindle tuber viroid research includes themes of DNA, Molecular biology, Polyacrylamide, Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Nucleic acid thermodynamics.

Theodor O. Diener has included themes like Plant species and Rolling circle replication in his RNA study. His Biochemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Infectivity and Chromatography. His Virus research focuses on subjects like Microbiology, which are linked to Algae.

He most often published in these fields:

• Virology (47.50%)
• Viroid (52.50%)
• Potato spindle tuber viroid (50.83%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1991-2018)?

• Viroid (52.50%)
• Genetics (17.50%)
• Virology (47.50%)

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

Viroid, Genetics, Virology, Plant virus and Pospiviroidae are his primary areas of study. His work on Potato spindle tuber viroid as part of his general Viroid study is frequently connected to Human immunodeficiency virus, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. Theodor O. Diener has researched Potato spindle tuber viroid in several fields, including Solanum and Phytophthora infestans.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Infectious disease and Replication. His study in the fields of Virus under the domain of Virology overlaps with other disciplines such as Classics and German. The Pospiviroidae study combines topics in areas such as Taxonomy, Nomenclature, Genetic analysis and Chimera.

Between 1991 and 2018, his most popular works were:

• Climate Change and the Integrity of Science (122 citations)
• Identification of multiple structural domains regulating viroid pathogenicity. (103 citations)
• A proposed scheme for viroid classification and nomenclature (98 citations)

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

• DNA
• Gene
• RNA

Theodor O. Diener mainly focuses on Viroid, Pospiviroidae, Genetics, Avsunviroidae and Virology. His study connects Base sequence and Pospiviroidae. Theodor O. Diener studies Genetics, namely Plant virus.

His work carried out in the field of Plant virus brings together such families of science as Genetic analysis, Entry into host and Virulence. He merges Virology with Executive committee in his research.
