Alok Kalra

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Botany
• Fungus
• Ecology

Alok Kalra focuses on Botany, Rhizobacteria, Salinity, Bacillus subtilis and Proline. His study connects Glomus and Botany. His studies in Rhizobacteria integrate themes in fields like Nutrient, Agronomy, Abiotic component and Plant physiology.

His Dry weight study in the realm of Agronomy connects with subjects such as Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis. His Salinity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Gene expression, Abscisic acid, Horticulture and APX. Alok Kalra works mostly in the field of Bacillus subtilis, limiting it down to topics relating to Mycorrhiza and, in certain cases, Pseudomonas monteilii, Coleus, Ralstonia solanacearum, Root rot and Crop.

His most cited work include:

• Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria Dietzia natronolimnaea modulates the expression of stress responsive genes providing protection of wheat from salinity stress (166 citations)
• Exiguobacterium oxidotolerans , a halotolerant plant growth promoting rhizobacteria, improves yield and content of secondary metabolites in Bacopa monnieri (L.) Pennell under primary and secondary salt stress (114 citations)
• ACC deaminase-containing Arthrobacter protophormiae induces NaCl stress tolerance through reduced ACC oxidase activity and ethylene production resulting in improved nodulation and mycorrhization in Pisum sativum (105 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Horticulture, Agronomy, Essential oil and Vermicompost. His Botany research incorporates elements of Proline, Rhizobacteria and Salinity. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Horticulture, concentrating on Crop and intersecting with Medicinal plants.

As part of one scientific family, Alok Kalra deals mainly with the area of Agronomy, narrowing it down to issues related to the Mentha arvensis, and often Menthol. His work focuses on many connections between Essential oil and other disciplines, such as Pelargonium graveolens, that overlap with his field of interest in Intercropping. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Vermicompost, Waste management is strongly linked to Distillation.

He most often published in these fields:

• Botany (33.33%)
• Horticulture (35.90%)
• Agronomy (28.21%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

• Botany (33.33%)
• Horticulture (35.90%)
• Biomass (14.10%)

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

Alok Kalra mostly deals with Botany, Horticulture, Biomass, Endophyte and Inoculation. His work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as Salinity, Abscisic acid and Abiotic stress. His Horticulture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Mentha arvensis and Crop.

His Biomass study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Synechocystis, Cellulose, Biofuel and Monoculture. His research integrates issues of Biochemistry and Catharanthus roseus in his study of Endophyte. His Inoculation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Microorganism, Microbial consortium, Basilicum and Vermicompost.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria Dietzia natronolimnaea modulates the expression of stress responsive genes providing protection of wheat from salinity stress (166 citations)
• Plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria enhance wheat salt and drought stress tolerance by altering endogenous phytohormone levels and TaCTR1/TaDREB2 expression (94 citations)
• Synthesis of hydroxymethylfurfural from cellulose using green processes: A promising biochemical and biofuel feedstock (60 citations)

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

• Botany
• Fungus
• Enzyme

Botany, Biomass, Photosynthesis, Biofuel and Endophyte are his primary areas of study. The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Salinity, Abscisic acid and Abiotic stress. In his study, Mentha arvensis, Glomus, Horticulture, Biofertilizer and Glomus aggregatum is strongly linked to Rhizobacteria, which falls under the umbrella field of Abscisic acid.

His work deals with themes such as Synechocystis, Lyngbya, Cyanobacteria and Organic chemistry, which intersect with Biomass. His research in Biofuel intersects with topics in Cellulose and Raw material. His study in Endophyte is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Proline, Chlorophytum borivilianum, Chlorophytum, Chlorosis and Plant physiology.
