Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Burkholderia phytofirmans, Burkholderia, Microbiology and Botrytis cinerea. His Botany study incorporates themes from Plantlet and Colonization. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Burkholderia phytofirmans, Inflorescence is strongly linked to Endophyte.

His Burkholderia study combines topics in areas such as Biodiversity, Rhizobacteria and Soil microbiology. His Microbiology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Jasmonic acid, Arabidopsis thaliana, Arabidopsis and Bacteria. His work in Biotechnology tackles topics such as Crop which are related to areas like Biological pest control.

His most cited work include:

  • Use of Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria for Biocontrol of Plant Diseases: Principles, Mechanisms of Action, and Future Prospects (1626 citations)
  • Plant growth-promoting bacteria in the rhizo- and endosphere of plants: Their role, colonization, mechanisms involved and prospects for utilization (1142 citations)
  • Taxonomy, Physiology, and Natural Products of Actinobacteria (638 citations)

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

Botany, Microbiology, Photosynthesis, Botrytis cinerea and Horticulture are his primary areas of study. As part of his studies on Botany, Christophe Clément often connects relevant subjects like Burkholderia phytofirmans. Christophe Clément studied Burkholderia phytofirmans and Burkholderia that intersect with Rhizosphere.

The Microbiology study combines topics in areas such as Plant disease resistance, Jasmonic acid, Immune system and Bacteria. His research investigates the link between Bacteria and topics such as Biological pest control that cross with problems in Gene. His Photosynthesis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Vineyard, Carbohydrate metabolism and Chlorophyll.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (46.67%)
  • Microbiology (15.24%)
  • Photosynthesis (14.76%)

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

  • Botany (46.67%)
  • Microbiology (15.24%)
  • Resveratrol (10.48%)

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

Christophe Clément spends much of his time researching Botany, Microbiology, Resveratrol, Plant defense against herbivory and Horticulture. The concepts of his Botany study are interwoven with issues in Rhizobacteria and Bacteria. His Burkholderia, Propionibacterium, Mycobacterium and Micromonospora study, which is part of a larger body of work in Bacteria, is frequently linked to Bacterial genetics, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His research integrates issues of Botrytis cinerea, Phylum, Immune system and Bacterial phyla in his study of Microbiology. His work carried out in the field of Resveratrol brings together such families of science as Cell culture, Bioproduction, Cell growth, Biological activity and Methyl jasmonate. Christophe Clément interconnects Arabidopsis thaliana, Fungus, Arabidopsis and Rapeseed in the investigation of issues within Plant defense against herbivory.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Taxonomy, Physiology, and Natural Products of Actinobacteria (638 citations)
  • Grapevine Trunk Diseases: A Review of Fifteen Years of Trials for Their Control with Chemicals and Biocontrol Agents. (57 citations)
  • Burkholderia phytofirmans PsJN Confers Grapevine Resistance against Botrytis cinerea via a Direct Antimicrobial Effect Combined with a Better Resource Mobilization. (35 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

His primary areas of study are Botany, Resveratrol, Plant disease resistance, Microbiology and Botryosphaeria. His Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Polymerase chain reaction, Rhizobacteria, Burkholderia phytofirmans and Bacteria. His Bacteria research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Plant growth and Colonization.

Christophe Clément combines subjects such as Cell culture, Food science, Bioproduction, Cell growth and Methyl jasmonate with his study of Resveratrol. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Phylum, Propionibacterium and Bacterial phyla, Actinobacteria. The Botryosphaeria study which covers Eutypa that intersects with Biological pest control, Natural enemies, Chemical control, Biotechnology and Outbreak.
