What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Genus

Botany, Inoculation, Rhizobacteria, Rhizosphere and Agronomy are his primary areas of study. The Inoculation study which covers Seedling that intersects with Pinus contorta. His Rhizobacteria research incorporates themes from Endophyte, Afforestation, Soil biology and Paenibacillus polymyxa.

Chris P. Chanway has included themes like Pseudomonas fluorescens, Nitrogen fixation, Rhizobium, Paenibacillus and Phaseolus in his Paenibacillus polymyxa study. His Rhizosphere study frequently links to related topics such as Reforestation. Chris P. Chanway combines subjects such as Cultivar and Microbial inoculant with his study of Shoot.

His most cited work include:

  • Alleviation of drought stress in the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) by co-inoculation with Paenibacillus polymyxa and Rhizobium tropici (247 citations)

  • Measuring plant neighbour effects. (130 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Inoculation, Rhizosphere, Seedling and Paenibacillus polymyxa. His studies deal with areas such as Nitrogen fixation, Rhizobacteria and Horticulture as well as Botany. Nutrient is closely connected to Agronomy in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Inoculation.

His research in Rhizosphere intersects with topics in Root nodule, Soil microbiology and Microbial inoculant. The concepts of his Seedling study are interwoven with issues in Forest floor, Thuja, Wilcoxina and Mycelium. His Paenibacillus polymyxa study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Endophyte, Rhizobium, Microbiology and Paenibacillus.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (60.00%)
  • Inoculation (34.74%)
  • Rhizosphere (33.68%)

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

  • Nitrogen fixation (26.32%)
  • Agronomy (28.42%)
  • Diazotroph (15.79%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Nitrogen fixation, Agronomy, Diazotroph, Botany and Host. His research in Agronomy intersects with topics in Inoculation, Pinus contorta and Bacillus. His work carried out in the field of Diazotroph brings together such families of science as Soil water and Biofertilizer.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Edaphic, Paenibacillus polymyxa and Colonization in addition to Botany. His Paenibacillus polymyxa research integrates issues from Microbiology and Green fluorescent protein. His Host research also works with subjects such as

  • Biomass that intertwine with fields like Seedling, Genus and Forest ecology,
  • Paenibacillus that connect with fields like Crop, Herbaspirillum and Burkholderia.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Paenibacillus polymyxa: A Prominent Biofertilizer and Biocontrol Agent for Sustainable Agriculture (21 citations)
  • Biological nitrogen fixation and plant growth promotion of lodgepole pine by an endophytic diazotroph Paenibacillus polymyxa and its GFP-tagged derivative (20 citations)
  • Substrate utilization by endophytic bacteria Paenibacillus polymyxa P2b-2R that may facilitate bacterial entrance and survival inside diverse plant hosts (19 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Genus

Chris P. Chanway focuses on Paenibacillus polymyxa, Nitrogen fixation, Endophytic bacteria, Agronomy and Botany. Chris P. Chanway focuses mostly in the field of Paenibacillus polymyxa, narrowing it down to matters related to Plant growth and, in some cases, Agriculture and Biofertilizer. His work on Diazotroph as part of general Nitrogen fixation research is frequently linked to Derivative, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His Endophytic bacteria research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Endophyte, Cell wall, Substrate and Microbiology. Chris P. Chanway has researched Agronomy in several fields, including Biotechnology, Bacillus, Sustainable agriculture, Biological pest control and Polymyxin. His Botany study frequently links to other fields, such as Colonization.
