William E. Fry

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Gene
• Genetics
• Ecology

His primary scientific interests are in Phytophthora infestans, Population genetics, Genetics, Genotype and Ecology. His Phytophthora infestans study falls within the topics of Botany and Blight. His study in Population genetics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Zoology, Genetic drift, Genetic structure, Genetic diversity and Genetic variability.

He combines subjects such as Phytophthora and Solanum tuberosum with his study of Genetics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sexual reproduction and Mitochondrial DNA. His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Root crops, Oomycete, Phycomycetes and Population biology.

His most cited work include:

• Genome sequence and analysis of the Irish potato famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans. (1066 citations)
• Phytophthora infestans: the plant (and R gene) destroyer (488 citations)
• Panglobal distribution of a single clonal lineage of the Irish potato famine fungus. (394 citations)

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

Phytophthora infestans, Blight, Botany, Genetics and Genotype are his primary areas of study. His Phytophthora infestans research includes elements of Fungicide, Metalaxyl, Oomycete and Mating type. His Blight study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ecology, Resistance and Cultivar.

His Botany research includes themes of Phycomycetes, Lineage and Solanaceae. Genetics and Phytophthora are commonly linked in his work. His research in Genotype intersects with topics in Veterinary medicine, Population genetics, DNA profiling and Sexual reproduction.

He most often published in these fields:

• Phytophthora infestans (68.42%)
• Blight (39.91%)
• Botany (27.19%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

• Phytophthora infestans (68.42%)
• Blight (39.91%)
• Genetics (24.56%)

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

William E. Fry mainly focuses on Phytophthora infestans, Blight, Genetics, Botany and Genotype. The concepts of his Phytophthora infestans study are interwoven with issues in Pathogen, Oomycete and Haplotype. The various areas that he examines in his Blight study include Ecology, Phytophthora and Fungicide.

His work deals with themes such as Evolutionary biology, Pathogenicity and Population biology, which intersect with Ecology. William E. Fry interconnects Lineage, Hypersensitive response, Solanaceae, Glucanase and Sequence analysis in the investigation of issues within Botany. His Genotype research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Genetic marker, DNA profiling, Mating type and Metalaxyl.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• The Top 10 oomycete pathogens in molecular plant pathology (338 citations)
• Five Reasons to Consider Phytophthora infestans a Reemerging Pathogen (125 citations)
• The Irish potato famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans originated in central Mexico rather than the Andes (93 citations)

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

• Gene
• Genetics
• Ecology

William E. Fry mainly investigates Phytophthora infestans, Blight, Botany, Oomycete and Genotype. He has included themes like Ecology, Host and Sexual reproduction in his Phytophthora infestans study. His Blight study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Biotechnology and Socioeconomics.

His work on Phytophthora ramorum, Phytophthora capsici, Phytophthora sojae and Phytophthora cinnamomi is typically connected to Albugo candida as part of general Botany study, connecting several disciplines of science. William E. Fry has researched Oomycete in several fields, including Virus, Virology, RNA virus and Transcriptome. His Genotype study combines topics in areas such as Veterinary medicine, Sequence analysis, DNA profiling and Fungicide.
