Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Horticulture
  • Fungus

Wojciech J. Janisiewicz mainly investigates Microbiology, Penicillium expansum, Postharvest, Blue mold and Horticulture. His Microbiology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Honeydew, Inoculation, Food microbiology and Enterobacteriaceae. His Penicillium expansum research includes elements of Botrytis cinerea, Fungi imperfecti and Pseudomonas syringae.

Wojciech J. Janisiewicz interconnects Pome, Pesticide, Fungicide and Biological pest control in the investigation of issues within Postharvest. The study incorporates disciplines such as Citrus fruit, Biopesticide, Biotechnology, Toxicology and Yeast in addition to Biological pest control. His work on Botany expands to the thematically related Horticulture.

His most cited work include:

  • Biological control of postharvest diseases of fruits. (809 citations)
  • Biocontrol of Listeria monocytogenes on Fresh-Cut Produce by Treatment with Lytic Bacteriophages and a Bacteriocin (351 citations)
  • Examination of Bacteriophage as a Biocontrol Method for Salmonella on Fresh-Cut Fruit: A Model Study (294 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Horticulture, Postharvest, Botany, Penicillium expansum and Blue mold. Wojciech J. Janisiewicz usually deals with Horticulture and limits it to topics linked to Pyrrolnitrin and Iprodione. His Postharvest study deals with Biological pest control intersecting with Biotechnology.

His study in Penicillium expansum is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Fruit tree, Fungi imperfecti, Microbiology, Rosaceae and Pseudomonas syringae. His work carried out in the field of Microbiology brings together such families of science as Listeria monocytogenes, Food microbiology, Enterobacteriaceae and Yeast. His study on Blue mold also encompasses disciplines like

  • Cultivar that connect with fields like Malus sieversii,
  • PEAR most often made with reference to Penicillium.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Horticulture (55.00%)
  • Postharvest (51.25%)
  • Botany (43.75%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Horticulture (55.00%)
  • Botany (43.75%)
  • Postharvest (51.25%)

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

Wojciech J. Janisiewicz focuses on Horticulture, Botany, Postharvest, Monilinia fructicola and Fungicide. His study on Blue mold and Fragaria is often connected to Ultraviolet as part of broader study in Horticulture. His Blue mold study is concerned with the larger field of Penicillium expansum.

Wojciech J. Janisiewicz has researched Postharvest in several fields, including Pyrimethanil and Fludioxonil. His Fungicide research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Botrytis cinerea and Powdery mildew. His work deals with themes such as Inoculation and Biological pest control, which intersect with Conidium.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Dark Period Following UV-C Treatment Enhances Killing of Botrytis cinerea Conidia and Controls Gray Mold of Strawberries (23 citations)
  • Yeasts associated with plums and their potential for controlling brown rot after harvest. (23 citations)
  • Composition of phenolic compounds in wild apple with multiple resistance mechanisms against postharvest blue mold decay (20 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Fungus
  • Horticulture

His primary areas of study are Horticulture, Botany, Conidium, Fungus and Malus sieversii. His Horticulture study incorporates themes from Curtobacterium, Clavibacter michiganensis, Pantoea, Enterobacter and Microbacterium. Wojciech J. Janisiewicz works in the field of Botany, namely Monilinia fructicola.

His Conidium research integrates issues from Inoculation and Fungicide. Wojciech J. Janisiewicz has included themes like Malus sylvestris, Biological pest control and Postharvest in his Fungus study. His research integrates issues of Callose, Cultivar, Penicillium expansum, Blue mold and Penicillium in his study of Malus sieversii.
