Overview

Uwe Braun is affiliated with Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg in Germany and specializes in the fields of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, as well as Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology. Their research focuses primarily on plant science, investigating fungal diseases and plant pathogens.

Their main research interests include powdery mildew fungal diseases, plant pathogens and fungal diseases, yeasts and rust fungi studies, plant pathogens and resistance, mycorrhizal fungi and plant interactions, lichen and fungal ecology, and plant pathogens and resistance mechanisms.

Uwe Braun has published extensively in several scientific journals, contributing notably to the following frequent publication venues:

  • Mycologia
  • Fungal Systematics and Evolution
  • Mycological Progress
  • Taxon
  • Digitalen Hochschulbibliothek Sachsen-Anhalt (Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Sachsen-Anhalt)

Recent papers by Uwe Braun include:

  • Multi-locus phylogeny and taxonomy of an unresolved, heterogeneous species complex within the genus Golovinomyces (Ascomycota, Erysiphales), including G. ambrosiae, G. circumfusus and G. spadiceus (2020, BMC Microbiology)
  • Australia: A Continent Without Native Powdery Mildews? The First Comprehensive Catalog Indicates Recent Introductions and Multiple Host Range Expansion Events, and Leads to the Re-discovery of Salmonomyces as a New Lineage of the Erysiphales (2020, Frontiers in Microbiology)
  • Taxonomic revision of Blumeria based on multi-gene DNA sequences, host preferences and morphology (2021, Mycoscience)
  • Secondary DNA Barcodes (CAM, GAPDH, GS, and RpB2) to Characterize Species Complexes and Strengthen the Powdery Mildew Phylogeny (2022, Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution)
  • What are the 100 most cited fungal genera? (2024, Studies in Mycology)

Uwe Braun has collaborated frequently with several researchers, including:

  • Michael Bradshaw
  • Donald H. Pfister
  • Susumu Takamatsu
