Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Renee T. Threlfall's research focuses on the microbial communities associated with agricultural products, particularly grapes and blackberries, and their impact on quality and production. She has investigated the influence of environmental factors such as year, location, and grape variety on the fungal microbiota of Arkansas-grown table and wine grapes, as well as the soil and leaf-associated fungi. Her work also extends to understanding the dynamics of fungal diversity during wine fermentation, examining the effects of sulfite levels and yeast inoculations.
In addition to viticulture, Threlfall has explored aspects of blackberry cultivation and harvesting. This includes research on the factors affecting red drupelet reversion, determining harvest parameters for marketability, and developing robotic harvesting solutions. She has also worked to identify unique quality attributes of Arkansas-grown fresh-market blackberries. Her scholarship includes 85 publications with 983 citations and an h-index of 19. Threlfall collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including John R. Clark, Luke R. Howard, Margaret Worthington, and Andrea L. Myers.
