Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Biochemistry, Betaine, Arsenic, Choline monooxygenase and Botany. She mostly deals with Betaine-aldehyde dehydrogenase in her studies of Biochemistry. Her Betaine research incorporates elements of Glycine, Choline and Osmolyte.

Her work on Arsenate and Arsenite as part of general Arsenic study is frequently connected to Pteris vittata, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. Her Pteris vittata study introduces a deeper knowledge of Hyperaccumulator. In most of her Botany studies, her work intersects topics such as Oryza sativa.

Her most cited work include:

  • Metabolic adaptations to arsenic-induced oxidative stress in Pteris vittata L and Pteris ensiformis L (288 citations)
  • Osmoprotective compounds in the plumbaginaceae : a natural experiment in metabolic engineering of stress tolerance (230 citations)
  • Choline monooxygenase, an unusual iron-sulfur enzyme catalyzing the first step of glycine betaine synthesis in plants: Prosthetic group characterization and cDNA cloning (217 citations)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Botany, Pteris vittata, Arsenic, Biochemistry and Hyperaccumulator. Bala Rathinasabapathi works mostly in the field of Botany, limiting it down to topics relating to Horticulture and, in certain cases, Weed. Her work on Arsenate as part of general Arsenic study is frequently linked to Pteris ensiformis, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

Her work in Biochemistry addresses issues such as Plumbaginaceae, which are connected to fields such as Somatic embryogenesis. Her Hyperaccumulator study deals with the bigger picture of Phytoremediation. Her study on Betaine also encompasses disciplines like

  • Osmoprotectant most often made with reference to Glycine,
  • Choline monooxygenase that connect with fields like Nicotiana tabacum and Spinach.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (37.80%)
  • Pteris vittata (35.43%)
  • Arsenic (30.71%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Pteris vittata (35.43%)
  • Crop (7.87%)
  • Horticulture (13.39%)

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

Bala Rathinasabapathi focuses on Pteris vittata, Crop, Horticulture, Hyperaccumulator and Botany. Her Pteris vittata research encompasses a variety of disciplines, including Arsenate, Arsenite, Pteris, Heterologous expression and Arabidopsis thaliana. Her Arsenate study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Arsenic.

Her studies in Arsenic integrate themes in fields like Environmental chemistry and Carcinogen. Her work deals with themes such as Phosphorus, Abiotic stress and Aquaporin, which intersect with Crop. Her Hyperaccumulator study results in a more complete grasp of Phytoremediation.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Arsenic Transport in Rice and Biological Solutions to Reduce Arsenic Risk from Rice (100 citations)
  • UPLC-HRMS-based untargeted metabolic profiling reveals changes in chickpea (Cicer arietinum) metabolome following long-term drought stress. (67 citations)
  • Mechanisms of efficient As solubilization in soils and As accumulation by As-hyperaccumulator Pteris vittata (39 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

Bala Rathinasabapathi mostly deals with Botany, Pteris vittata, Hyperaccumulator, Rhizosphere and Arsenite. In her works, Bala Rathinasabapathi conducts interdisciplinary research on Botany and Chromium toxicity. Her Pteris vittata research incorporates elements of Heterologous expression, Nicotiana tabacum, Biochemistry, Arabidopsis and Antiporter.

Bala Rathinasabapathi usually deals with Rhizosphere and limits it to topics linked to Siderophore and Rhizobacteria, Gibberellin, Efflux, Pseudomonas and Environmental chemistry. Her Arsenite study combines topics in areas such as Agronomy and Transformation. Her research investigates the connection between Inorganic chemistry and topics such as Arsenic that intersect with issues in Oryza sativa.
