Concepción Azcón-Aguilar

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Botany
• Ecology
• Gene

Concepción Azcón-Aguilar mainly investigates Mycorrhiza, Botany, Symbiosis, Glomus and Arbuscular mycorrhiza. His Mycorrhiza research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Plant Physiological Phenomena, Agronomy and Fungus. His Botany research incorporates themes from Soil contamination, Phycomycetes and Mycorrhizal fungi.

His studies deal with areas such as Defence mechanisms, Salicylic acid, Shoot and Plant defense against herbivory as well as Symbiosis. His studies in Glomus integrate themes in fields like Genetics, Fungal genetics, Rhizophagus irregularis, Obligate and Glomeromycota. Ecology, Ecosystem, Soil quality and Vesicular-Arbuscular Mycorrhizae is closely connected to Rhizosphere in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Arbuscular mycorrhiza.

His most cited work include:

• Microbial co-operation in the rhizosphere (785 citations)
• Unraveling mycorrhiza-induced resistance. (710 citations)
• Arbuscular mycorrhizas and biological control of soil-borne plant pathogens – an overview of the mechanisms involved (611 citations)

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

Concepción Azcón-Aguilar focuses on Botany, Mycorrhiza, Symbiosis, Glomus and Arbuscular mycorrhiza. The various areas that Concepción Azcón-Aguilar examines in his Botany study include Ecology and Glomeromycota. His Mycorrhiza study incorporates themes from Nutrient, Phycomycetes, Agronomy and Rhizobium.

His Symbiosis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Genome, Plant physiology, Defence mechanisms, Solanaceae and Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. His Glomus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Spore germination, Medicago sativa and Phytophthora nicotianae. His work in Arbuscular mycorrhiza tackles topics such as Rhizosphere which are related to areas like Mycorrhizosphere and Soil quality.

He most often published in these fields:

• Botany (70.87%)
• Mycorrhiza (51.18%)
• Symbiosis (29.13%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

• Botany (70.87%)
• Ecology (17.32%)
• Symbiosis (29.13%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Ecology, Symbiosis, Arbuscular mycorrhiza and Mycelium. His work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as Rhizophagus irregularis, Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and Glomeromycota. His Ecology study incorporates themes from Acaulospora, Arbuscular mycorrhizal and Life history theory.

He works on Symbiosis which deals in particular with Mycorrhiza. The concepts of his Arbuscular mycorrhiza study are interwoven with issues in Soil water and Phosphate Transporters. His Mycelium research focuses on Glomus and how it connects with Mediterranean climate, Vegetation, Terrestrial ecosystem, Genetics and Fungal genetics.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• The transcriptome of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices (DAOM 197198) reveals functional tradeoffs in an obligate symbiont (259 citations)
• Phytohormones as integrators of environmental signals in the regulation of mycorrhizal symbioses. (186 citations)
• The composition of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities differs among the roots, spores and extraradical mycelia associated with five Mediterranean plant species. (85 citations)

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

• Botany
