Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

His main research concerns Botany, Biochemistry, Malondialdehyde, Shoot and Photosynthesis. In his study, Seedling is strongly linked to Chloroplast, which falls under the umbrella field of Botany. His Biochemistry study incorporates themes from Arsenite, Food chain, Plant breeding, Arsenate and Fern.

His Malondialdehyde study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Reactive oxygen species and Chlorophyll. Basharat Ali works mostly in the field of Shoot, limiting it down to topics relating to Plant physiology and, in certain cases, Vigna, Salinity, Soil fertility, Abiotic stress and Saline water. His study explores the link between Photosynthesis and topics such as Starch that cross with problems in Cultivar.

His most cited work include:

  • Chromium-induced physio-chemical and ultrastructural changes in four cultivars of Brassica napus L. (175 citations)
  • EDTA enhanced plant growth, antioxidant defense system, and phytoextraction of copper by Brassica napus L. (152 citations)
  • Zinc and iron oxide nanoparticles improved the plant growth and reduced the oxidative stress and cadmium concentration in wheat. (133 citations)

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

Basharat Ali mainly investigates Botany, Biochemistry, Brassica, Horticulture and Antioxidant. His Botany study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Reactive oxygen species and Chloroplast.

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

Horticulture, Agronomy, Sowing, Grain quality and Abiotic component are his primary areas of study. His Horticulture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Malondialdehyde, Catalase, Antioxidant, APX and Glutathione. While the research belongs to areas of Antioxidant, Basharat Ali spends his time largely on the problem of Oxidative stress, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Salinity.

His Salinity research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Proline, Transcriptome and Shoot, Botany. His study in Sowing is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Brassica and Crop. His research in Brassica intersects with topics in Tryptophan and Sugar, Biochemistry, Cell wall, Carotenoid.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Amelioration of salt induced toxicity in pearl millet by seed priming with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs): The oxidative damage, antioxidant enzymes and ions uptake are major determinants of salt tolerant capacity. (19 citations)
  • Approaches in Enhancing Thermotolerance in Plants: An Updated Review (13 citations)
  • Comparative metabolomic responses of low- and high-cadmium accumulating genotypes reveal the cadmium adaptive mechanism in Brassica napus. (12 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

Basharat Ali spends much of his time researching Horticulture, Abiotic component, Oryza, Sterility and Interspecific competition. In most of his Horticulture studies, his work intersects topics such as Malondialdehyde. His Abiotic component research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Vegetative reproduction, Grain quality and Growing season.
