Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Renee T. Threlfall's research focuses on the fungal and microbial communities associated with agricultural products, particularly grapes and blackberries, within Arkansas. Her work investigates how factors such as year, location, and grape variety influence the mycobiota of both table grapes and wine grapes, contributing to an understanding of regional agricultural characteristics. Threlfall has also explored the impact of harvest time and fruit firmness on blackberry quality and the potential for robotic harvesting solutions.

Her research extends to the dynamics of fungal diversity during wine fermentation, examining the effects of sulfite levels and yeast inoculations. Threlfall's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 19, with 86 total publications and 950 total citations. She has collaborated extensively with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including John R. Clark, Luke R. Howard, and Margaret Worthington.
