  • 2009 - Fellow of the American Phytopathological Society

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Fungus
  • Ecology

Timothy C. Paulitz focuses on Botany, Microbiology, Rhizosphere, Pythium and Horticulture. His Botany study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Pseudomonas putida. His Microbiology study incorporates themes from Rhizobacteria, Pythium aphanidermatum, Pseudomonadales, Phycomycetes and Fusarium oxysporum.

Timothy C. Paulitz interconnects Microorganism, Phyllosphere, Germination and Soil microbiology in the investigation of issues within Rhizosphere. The study incorporates disciplines such as Taxonomy and Root rot in addition to Pythium. In his study, Ascospore formation, Leaf wetness and Morning is inextricably linked to Poaceae, which falls within the broad field of Horticulture.

His most cited work include:

  • The rhizosphere: a playground and battlefield for soilborne pathogens and beneficial microorganisms (891 citations)
  • BIOLOGICAL CONTROL IN GREENHOUSE SYSTEMS (468 citations)
  • Defense enzymes induced in cucumber roots by treatment with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and Pythium aphanidermatum. (407 citations)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Botany, Horticulture, Rhizoctonia and Rhizoctonia solani. His research investigates the connection between Botany and topics such as Rhizosphere that intersect with issues in Soil microbiology. His study looks at the relationship between Horticulture and topics such as Ascospore, which overlap with Gibberella zeae.

His work carried out in the field of Rhizoctonia brings together such families of science as Seeding, Sowing and Hordeum vulgare. The concepts of his Rhizoctonia solani study are interwoven with issues in Brassica and Crop residue. His study in Pythium is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Damping off, Microbiology and Pythium ultimum.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (41.58%)
  • Botany (36.63%)
  • Horticulture (24.75%)

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

  • Agronomy (41.58%)
  • Botany (36.63%)
  • Fusarium (13.37%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Botany, Fusarium, Horticulture and Rhizosphere. His work in the fields of Botany, such as Fungus, Mutualism and Botrytis cinerea, overlaps with other areas such as Common root and Cochliobolus. In his work, Pathogenicity is strongly intertwined with Crown, which is a subfield of Fusarium.

His Horticulture research incorporates elements of Saccharomyces and Potato dextrose agar. His work in Rhizosphere tackles topics such as Janthinobacterium which are related to areas like Nutrient and Soil retrogression and degradation. His studies in Rhizoctonia integrate themes in fields like Microdochium bolleyi, Penicillium and Root rot.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Disease Suppressive Soils: New Insights from the Soil Microbiome. (143 citations)
  • Bacterial Communities on Wheat Grown Under Long-Term Conventional Tillage and No-Till in the Pacific Northwest of the United States (34 citations)
  • Long-term no-till: A major driver of fungal communities in dryland wheat cropping systems. (31 citations)

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

  • Fungus
  • Botany
  • Ecology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Rhizosphere, Tillage, Soil water and Botany. Timothy C. Paulitz combines subjects such as Mutualism and Botrytis cinerea with his study of Rhizosphere. Timothy C. Paulitz has included themes like Agroforestry and Cropping system in his Tillage study.

His Soil water study which covers Cropping that intersects with Taxon, Crop residue, Soil health and Biosolids. His work on Fusarium, Rhizoctonia and Fungus as part of general Botany study is frequently linked to Pollinator, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Rhizoctonia solani study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Phenazine, Root rot and Pseudomonas.
