  • Gene

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Biochemistry, Halophyte, Nuclear chemistry and Bacteria. The various areas that he examines in his Botany study include Food science and Polyunsaturated fatty acid, Fatty acid. In his work, Enzyme assay, Acetone, Enzyme and Cellulase is strongly intertwined with Ulva lactuca, which is a subfield of Biochemistry.

The concepts of his Halophyte study are interwoven with issues in Ion homeostasis, Chlorophyll, Shoot, Abiotic stress and Metallothionein. His studies in Nuclear chemistry integrate themes in fields like Polysaccharide, Thermogravimetry, Extracellular polymeric substance, Silver nanoparticle and Biosorption. His Bacteria research integrates issues from Microbiology and Enterobacter.

His most cited work include:

  • Bacterial exopolysaccharides – a perception (378 citations)
  • Transcription factors in plants and ABA dependent and independent abiotic stress signalling (282 citations)
  • Kinetics, equilibrium and thermodynamic studies on biosorption of hexavalent chromium by dead fungal biomass of marine Aspergillus niger. (228 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Botany, Biochemistry, Halophyte, Food science and Abiotic stress. His Botany study incorporates themes from Ecology, Salinity and Salicornia. Bhavanath Jha has included themes like Proline, Halotolerance and Chlorophyll, Horticulture in his Halophyte study.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biofuel, Hydrolysis, Microbiology and Bacteria. His work in Abiotic stress addresses subjects such as Transgene, which are connected to disciplines such as Photosynthesis. His Polysaccharide research includes elements of Arabinose, Extracellular polymeric substance and Monosaccharide.

He most often published in these fields:

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

  • Botany (55.34%)
  • Halophyte (22.90%)
  • Transgene (12.98%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Halophyte, Transgene, Abiotic stress and Biochemistry. His research in Botany is mostly focused on Shoot. He interconnects Halotolerance, Chlorophyll, Rhizobacteria and Soil salinity in the investigation of issues within Halophyte.

His Halotolerance study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Diazotroph and Horticulture. The Transgene study which covers Photosynthesis that intersects with Antioxidant. He is interested in Ectopic expression, which is a field of Biochemistry.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Halotolerant Rhizobacteria Promote Growth and Enhance Salinity Tolerance in Peanut. (89 citations)
  • Halotolerant Rhizobacteria Promote Growth and Enhance Salinity Tolerance in Peanut. (89 citations)
  • An integrated process for the extraction of fuel and chemicals from marine macroalgal biomass (50 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria
  • Gene

Bhavanath Jha focuses on Botany, Biochemistry, Transgene, Abiotic stress and Osmotic shock. His Botany study combines topics in areas such as Agrobacterium, Bacteria, Actinobacteria, Nocardiaceae and Osmoprotectant. The Bacteria study combines topics in areas such as Nonribosomal peptide and Polyketide.

His Biochemistry study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Halophyte. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Transgene, concentrating on Reactive oxygen species and frequently concerns with Photosynthesis, Oxidative phosphorylation, Photosynthetic efficiency and Microarray analysis techniques. His study looks at the relationship between Abiotic stress and fields such as Cell biology, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.
