Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Photosynthesis

Aqil Ahmad focuses on Photosynthesis, Botany, Proline, Biochemistry and Chlorophyll. His research in Photosynthesis intersects with topics in Lipid peroxidation, Antioxidant, Salicylic acid and Brassica. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Brassica, focusing on Plant physiology and, on occasion, Agronomy.

His Botany study deals with Nitrate reductase intersecting with Dry weight. His Proline research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Vigna, Horticulture and Osmolyte. His Biochemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Turgor pressure and Osmoregulation.

His most cited work include:

  • Role of proline under changing environments: A review (924 citations)
  • EFFECT OF EXOGENOUS SALICYLIC ACID UNDER CHANGING ENVIRONMENT: A REVIEW (611 citations)
  • Salicylic acid influences net photosynthetic rate, carboxylation efficiency, nitrate reductase activity, and seed yield in Brassica juncea (300 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Photosynthesis, Botany, Proline, Horticulture and Antioxidant. His Photosynthesis study incorporates themes from Brassica, Vigna, Agronomy, Sowing and Chlorophyll. The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Salicylic acid, Leghemoglobin, Carbonic anhydrase and Nitrate reductase.

He combines subjects such as Solanum, Salinity, Superoxide dismutase, Catalase and Cultivar with his study of Proline. Aqil Ahmad focuses mostly in the field of Horticulture, narrowing it down to topics relating to Enzyme assay and, in certain cases, Photosynthetic efficiency. His Antioxidant study is concerned with the larger field of Biochemistry.
