Zamir K. Punja

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Botany
• Fungus
• Horticulture

His main research concerns Botany, Genetically modified crops, Plant disease resistance, Microbiology and Horticulture. His research in Botany intersects with topics in Phycomycetes, Agrobacterium and Chitinase. His Genetically modified crops research integrates issues from Biotechnology and Transformation.

His Plant disease resistance study incorporates themes from Botrytis cinerea and Alternaria radicina. As a part of the same scientific family, Zamir K. Punja mostly works in the field of Horticulture, focusing on Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and, on occasion, Cinnamic acid, Chlorogenic acid, Phenols and Epidermis. His Daucus carota research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Salicylic acid and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.

His most cited work include:

• Genetic engineering of plants to enhance resistance to fungal pathogens—a review of progress and future prospects (220 citations)
• Genetic Change Within Populations of Phytophthora infestans in the United States and Canada During 1994 to 1996: Role of Migration and Recombination. (191 citations)
• Using fungi and yeasts to manage vegetable crop diseases (166 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Horticulture, Plant disease resistance, Microbiology and Genetically modified crops. Zamir K. Punja works mostly in the field of Botany, limiting it down to topics relating to Inoculation and, in certain cases, Root rot and Pythium. In the field of Horticulture, his study on Powdery mildew, Fusarium oxysporum and Fusarium overlaps with subjects such as Cannabis and Cannabis sativa.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Gene expression and Fungicide in addition to Plant disease resistance. Zamir K. Punja focuses mostly in the field of Microbiology, narrowing it down to topics relating to Chitinase and, in certain cases, Transformation. As part of one scientific family, Zamir K. Punja deals mainly with the area of Genetically modified crops, narrowing it down to issues related to the Biotechnology, and often Defence mechanisms.

He most often published in these fields:

• Botany (48.57%)
• Horticulture (25.00%)
• Plant disease resistance (13.57%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

• Horticulture (25.00%)
• Cannabis (6.43%)
• Cannabis sativa (5.71%)

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

Zamir K. Punja mainly investigates Horticulture, Cannabis, Cannabis sativa, Powdery mildew and Botany. His studies deal with areas such as Disease management, Chemical control, Inoculation and Cucumis as well as Powdery mildew. His work carried out in the field of Inoculation brings together such families of science as Bract, Vegetative reproduction and Spore.

His Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Plasmid and Genetic diversity. His work on Botrytis as part of general Botrytis cinerea study is frequently linked to Colletotrichum higginsianum, Albugo candida and Albugo, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work in Root rot addresses subjects such as Hydroponics, which are connected to disciplines such as Cutting and Plant disease resistance.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Carrot (Daucus carota L.). (45 citations)
• Hemp ( Cannabis sativa L.) (25 citations)
• Effects of Bacillus subtilis strain QST 713 and storage temperatures on post-harvest disease development on greenhouse tomatoes (18 citations)

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

• Botany
• Fungus
• Horticulture

His primary areas of investigation include Horticulture, Powdery mildew, Fusarium, Botany and Cannabis. His study in Horticulture is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Phosphinothricin acetyltransferase and Transgene. His Powdery mildew research includes themes of Inoculation, Pythium dissotocum, Pith, Fusarium oxysporum and Trichoderma.

His research in Fusarium tackles topics such as Pythium which are related to areas like Stem rot and Crop. His Botany research incorporates themes from Bacillus and Colony-forming unit. His research investigates the connection with Hydroponics and areas like Plant disease resistance which intersect with concerns in Genotype and DNA sequencing.
