Plant pathogens and resistance mechanisms
Plant pathogens and resistance mechanisms is a research topic within Plant Science. Science Explorer counts 12k research works in it since 1950. 10.1% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on plant pathology, particularly the resistance of common beans and other crops to fungal diseases caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. It explores the role of oxalic acid, germin-like proteins, and quantitative trait loci in conferring resistance, as well as the use of molecular markers for breeding and genome analysis.

Universities only. The score blends citation excellence (40%), size (30%), specialisation (10%), growth (10%), international reach (10%), 2022-now; growth compares 2018-21 with 2022-25 and counts up to +20%, since a jump from a small base is mostly noise.
Every institution in Plant pathogens and resistance mechanisms, country by countryIs Plant pathogens and resistance mechanisms research growing?
Output in 2022-2025 was 6% higher than in 2018-2021, peaking in 2022. The fastest-growing topics are Plant pathogens and resistance mechanisms.
The same series as a ribbon: one cell per year, darker for more. The line above answers how much; this answers when.
Its share of all research
Growing output can still be a shrinking share: all of science grows. This is Plant pathogens and resistance mechanisms as a percentage of every work published that year, 0.0077% in 2024.
Fractional works of Plant pathogens and resistance mechanisms over all fractional works that year. How the balance of science has shifted.
How much of it reaches the world top 10%
Year by year.
Of each year's works in it, the share that reached the world's 10% most cited for their field and year. A field is the world for its own topics, so there is no other line to hold it against.
Which topics inside it are moving
Growth and decline on one axis around a shared zero. Two lists side by side hide the thing that matters: whether the growth dwarfs the decline, or the other way round.
