Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Horticulture

Yigal Cohen focuses on Botany, Fungicide, Horticulture, Phytophthora infestans and Downy mildew. His research integrates issues of Sunflower, Inoculation and Puccinia helianthi in his study of Botany. Fungicide is a subfield of Agronomy that Yigal Cohen investigates.

His Horticulture study incorporates themes from Dry matter and Solanaceae. His Phytophthora infestans study combines topics in areas such as Metalaxyl, beta-Aminobutyric acid and Race. In general Downy mildew study, his work on Pseudoperonospora cubensis and Plasmopara viticola often relates to the realm of Aminobutyric acid, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His most cited work include:

  • Systemic Fungicides and the Control of Oomycetes (321 citations)
  • β-Aminobutyric Acid-Induced Resistance Against Plant Pathogens (220 citations)
  • RESISTANCE TO PHENYLAMIDE FUNGICIDES: a case study with phytophthora infestans involving mating type and race structure. (218 citations)

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

Yigal Cohen spends much of his time researching Botany, Horticulture, Downy mildew, Fungicide and Phytophthora infestans. His Botany research includes themes of Inoculation and Phycomycetes. He focuses mostly in the field of Horticulture, narrowing it down to topics relating to Agronomy and, in certain cases, Nematode.

As part of the same scientific family, Yigal Cohen usually focuses on Downy mildew, concentrating on Oomycete and intersecting with Zoospore. His Fungicide research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Chemical control and Biochemistry. The study incorporates disciplines such as Pesticide resistance, Fungus and Solanaceae in addition to Phytophthora infestans.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (51.52%)
  • Horticulture (35.86%)
  • Downy mildew (31.31%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Downy mildew (31.31%)
  • Botany (51.52%)
  • Horticulture (35.86%)

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

His primary areas of study are Downy mildew, Botany, Horticulture, Oomycete and Pseudoperonospora cubensis. His studies deal with areas such as Inoculation, Fungicide and Basilicum, Sweet Basil, Ocimum as well as Downy mildew. The various areas that Yigal Cohen examines in his Fungicide study include Ecology and Blight, Phytophthora infestans.

His studies link Plant disease resistance with Botany. His Oomycete research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Zoospore, Cucurbitaceae, Mycelium and Callose. His research in Pseudoperonospora cubensis intersects with topics in Obligate, Squash, Pathogen and Cucumis.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Cucurbit downy mildew ( Pseudoperonospora cubensis )—biology, ecology, epidemiology, host-pathogen interaction and control (95 citations)
  • BABA-induced resistance: milestones along a 55-year journey (53 citations)
  • Mechanisms of induced resistance in lettuce against Bremia lactucae by DL-β-amino-butyric acid (BABA) (52 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Genetics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Downy mildew, Oomycete, Pseudoperonospora cubensis and Fungicide. Yigal Cohen undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Botany and Myrtus communis through his research. Downy mildew is closely attributed to Microbiology in his study.

His studies in Oomycete integrate themes in fields like Haustorium, Callose, Inoculation, Spore and Mycelium. Yigal Cohen combines subjects such as Cucumis, Cucurbitaceae and Citrullus lanatus with his study of Pseudoperonospora cubensis. His studies examine the connections between Fungicide and genetics, as well as such issues in Ecology, with regards to Genetics.
