  • 2009 - Fellow of the American Phytopathological Society

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Horticulture
  • Ecology

Walter D. Gubler spends much of his time researching Botany, Horticulture, Botryosphaeriaceae, Diplodia seriata and Canker. His Botany study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Vineyard, Pesticide resistance and Internal transcribed spacer. His study in Internal transcribed spacer is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Diatrypaceae and Ribosomal DNA.

His studies deal with areas such as Botryosphaeria dothidea and Neofusicoccum as well as Diplodia seriata. His Canker study frequently links to related topics such as Lasiodiplodia theobromae. His Pruning study combines topics in areas such as Inoculation, Fungi imperfecti, Cultivar and Spore.

His most cited work include:

  • Identification and Distribution of Botryosphaeria spp. Associated with Grapevine Cankers in California (171 citations)
  • Pathogenicity of Botryosphaeriaceae Species Isolated from Grapevine Cankers in California (134 citations)
  • Identification and Pathogenicity of Lasiodiplodia theobromae and Diplodia seriata, the Causal Agents of Bot Canker Disease of Grapevines in Mexico (121 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Horticulture, Fungicide, Pathogenicity and Canker. Walter D. Gubler interconnects Botryosphaeriaceae, Inoculation and Internal transcribed spacer in the investigation of issues within Botany. His work carried out in the field of Botryosphaeriaceae brings together such families of science as Botryosphaeria dothidea and Lasiodiplodia theobromae.

His studies in Internal transcribed spacer integrate themes in fields like Diatrypaceae and Ribosomal DNA. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Fungicide, Disease management is strongly linked to Powdery mildew. His Canker research includes elements of Mycelium and Botryosphaeria.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (58.87%)
  • Horticulture (45.39%)
  • Fungicide (26.95%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2018)?

  • Botany (58.87%)
  • Horticulture (45.39%)
  • Canker (16.31%)

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

His primary areas of study are Botany, Horticulture, Canker, Powdery mildew and Botryosphaeriaceae. His Botany study incorporates themes from Inoculation and Pathogenicity. A large part of his Horticulture studies is devoted to Eutypa lata.

The concepts of his Canker study are interwoven with issues in Cryptosphaeria, Cambium and Bark. His study looks at the relationship between Powdery mildew and fields such as Fungicide, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. He has included themes like Translation elongation, Acacia mangium, Fungus and Field conditions in his Botryosphaeriaceae study.

Between 2012 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Olive Twig and Branch Dieback: Etiology, Incidence, and Distribution in California (58 citations)
  • Cadophora species associated with wood-decay of grapevine in North America. (47 citations)
  • Susceptibility of Cultivated and Wild Vitis spp. to Wood Infection by Fungal Trunk Pathogens (43 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Fungus

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Phaeomoniella chlamydospora, Inoculation, Compendium and Pathogenicity. His Botany research includes themes of Internal transcribed spacer and Ribosomal DNA. His Phaeomoniella chlamydospora research integrates issues from Olive trees and Lasiodiplodia theobromae.

He has researched Lasiodiplodia theobromae in several fields, including Diplodia seriata, Botryosphaeria dothidea, Phaeoacremonium aleophilum, Twig and Olea. In Inoculation, Walter D. Gubler works on issues like Eutypa, which are connected to Botryosphaeria, Woody plant, Canker, Cultivar and Diatrypaceae. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Togninia minima, Geographic distribution, Conidium and Hypha.
