Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

Todd J. Ward mainly focuses on Genetics, Phylogenetic tree, Fusarium, Phylogenetics and Botany. As part of his studies on Genetics, Todd J. Ward often connects relevant subjects like Outbreak. His research investigates the connection with Phylogenetic tree and areas like Gene cluster which intersect with concerns in Genetic diversity.

His Fusarium research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Genotyping, Typing and Corneal Infection. In his work, Virulence, Haplotype, Strain and Pathogen is strongly intertwined with Genetic variation, which is a subfield of Phylogenetics. His work on Trichothecene and Fusarium oxysporum as part of general Botany study is frequently linked to Chemotype, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His most cited work include:

  • FUSARIUM-ID v. 1.0: A DNA sequence database for identifying Fusarium (690 citations)
  • The Fusarium graminearum Genome Reveals a Link Between Localized Polymorphism and Pathogen Specialization (666 citations)
  • Genealogical concordance between the mating type locus and seven other nuclear genes supports formal recognition of nine phylogenetically distinct species within the Fusarium graminearum clade (601 citations)

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

Todd J. Ward spends much of his time researching Fusarium, Trichothecene, Genetics, Botany and Species complex. The various areas that he examines in his Fusarium study include Mycotoxin, Pathogen, Agronomy and Hordeum vulgare. His research in Trichothecene intersects with topics in Inoculation, Genetic diversity, Veterinary medicine, Species diversity and Genotype.

His studies deal with areas such as Host and Restriction fragment length polymorphism as well as Botany. Todd J. Ward has researched Species complex in several fields, including Evolutionary biology, Ecology and Molecular phylogenetics. His work in the fields of Lineage overlaps with other areas such as Fungal genetics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Fusarium (57.14%)
  • Trichothecene (40.66%)
  • Genetics (38.46%)

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

  • Fusarium (57.14%)
  • Mycotoxin (19.78%)
  • Trichothecene (40.66%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Fusarium, Mycotoxin, Trichothecene, Botany and Species complex. His study in Fusarium is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Gene, Virulence, Agronomy and Microbiology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Pathogen and Hordeum vulgare in addition to Mycotoxin.

His work often combines Trichothecene and Chemotype studies. As part of his studies on Botany, Todd J. Ward often connects relevant areas like DNA sequencing. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Taxonomy and Phylogenetics.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The geographic distribution and complex evolutionary history of the NX-2 trichothecene chemotype from Fusarium graminearum. (33 citations)
  • Population genomics of Fusarium graminearum reveals signatures of divergent evolution within a major cereal pathogen (31 citations)
  • Determination of Evolutionary Relationships of Outbreak-Associated Listeria monocytogenes Strains of Serotypes 1/2a and 1/2b by Whole-Genome Sequencing (29 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

His main research concerns Genetics, Trichothecene, Botany, Fusarium and Mycotoxin. His study on Genetic variation, Nonsynonymous substitution and Molecular evolution is often connected to Subtyping as part of broader study in Genetics. His studies in Trichothecene integrate themes in fields like Phylogenetics and Lineage.

Todd J. Ward combines topics linked to Species complex with his work on Botany. To a larger extent, Todd J. Ward studies Phylogenetic tree with the aim of understanding Species complex. His is involved in several facets of Fusarium study, as is seen by his studies on Fumonisin, Moniliformin and Zearalenone.
