Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

His main research concerns Botany, Shoot, Abscisic acid, Salicylic acid and Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense. His Botany study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Salinity and Horticulture. His studies in Shoot integrate themes in fields like Solanum, Stem rot, Aspergillus terreus, Penicillium citrinum and Helianthus annuus.

His Abscisic acid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Jasmonic acid and Abiotic stress. In his study, Metal and ATPase is strongly linked to Oryza sativa, which falls under the umbrella field of Salicylic acid. His Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense study combines topics in areas such as Gibberella fujikuroi, Cucumis, Plant disease resistance and Nitrogen assimilation.

His most cited work include:

  • Endophytic fungi produce gibberellins and indoleacetic acid and promotes host-plant growth during stress. (260 citations)
  • Endophytic fungal association via gibberellins and indole acetic acid can improve plant growth under abiotic stress: an example of Paecilomyces formosus LHL10 (196 citations)
  • Endophytic fungal association via gibberellins and indole acetic acid can improve plant growth under abiotic stress: an example of Paecilomyces formosus LHL10 (196 citations)

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

Abdul Latif Khan mostly deals with Botany, Horticulture, Abscisic acid, Gibberellin and Shoot. His work in Botany is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Catalase. His work deals with themes such as Rhizobacteria and Nutrient, which intersect with Horticulture.

His Abscisic acid research includes themes of Food science, Salinity, Antioxidant and Salicylic acid, Jasmonic acid. His work on Shoot is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Solanum. His study looks at the intersection of Endophyte and topics like Abiotic component with Agronomy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (61.16%)
  • Horticulture (31.30%)
  • Abscisic acid (28.70%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Abscisic acid (28.70%)
  • Botany (61.16%)
  • Genome (7.25%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Abscisic acid, Botany, Genome, Gibberellin and Genetics. His work carried out in the field of Abscisic acid brings together such families of science as Food science, Antioxidant, Salicylic acid, Jasmonic acid and Gibberellic acid. Abdul Latif Khan interconnects Lipid peroxidation and Horticulture in the investigation of issues within Salicylic acid.

Abdul Latif Khan performs integrative Botany and Heat stress research in his work. His work in Gibberellin tackles topics such as Salinity which are related to areas like Siderophore, Agriculture, Inoculation and Photosynthesis. His Abiotic stress research integrates issues from Endophyte and Cell biology.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Plant growth promoting bacteria as an alternative strategy for salt tolerance in plants: A review. (125 citations)
  • What Is There in Seeds? Vertically Transmitted Endophytic Resources for Sustainable Improvement in Plant Growth (70 citations)
  • Indole-3-acetic-acid and ACC deaminase producing Leclercia adecarboxylata MO1 improves Solanum lycopersicum L. growth and salinity stress tolerance by endogenous secondary metabolites regulation (37 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Gene

Abdul Latif Khan focuses on Abscisic acid, Antioxidant, Jasmonic acid, Salicylic acid and Food science. His study in Abscisic acid is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Fructose, Indole-3-acetic acid, Horticulture, Bacteria and Metabolism. His Salicylic acid study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Lipid peroxidation and Chlorophyll.

His Chlorophyll research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Plant physiology, Shoot and APX. His study explores the link between Shoot and topics such as Symbiosis that cross with problems in Botany. Genome is closely connected to Sphingomonas in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Botany.
