Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Horticulture
  • Agronomy

Fabrício Ávila Rodrigues spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Inoculation, Horticulture, Botany and Oryza sativa. His study in the fields of Cultivar under the domain of Agronomy overlaps with other disciplines such as Plant disease. His Inoculation research also works with subjects such as

  • Lipid peroxidation that connect with fields like Carotenoid and Chlorophyll,
  • Stomatal conductance, which have a strong connection to Chlorophyll a and Pyricularia.

His work on Colletotrichum as part of general Horticulture research is often related to Calcium silicate, Acervulus and Potassium silicate, thus linking different fields of science. Fabrício Ávila Rodrigues has included themes like Peroxidase and Statistics, Concordance correlation coefficient in his Botany study. His research integrates issues of Poaceae, Straw and Rhizoctonia solani in his study of Oryza sativa.

His most cited work include:

  • Silicon enhances the accumulation of diterpenoid phytoalexins in rice: a potential mechanism for blast resistance. (235 citations)
  • Ultrastructural and cytochemical aspects of silicon-mediated rice blast resistance. (162 citations)
  • Silicon influences cytological and molecular events in compatible and incompatible rice-Magnaporthe grisea interactions (156 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Horticulture, Inoculation, Botany, Cultivar and Agronomy. His studies deal with areas such as Photosynthesis and Peroxidase as well as Horticulture. The Photosynthesis study combines topics in areas such as Chlorophyll, Carotenoid and Chlorophyll a.

His Inoculation research includes elements of Jasmonic acid, Pyricularia, Oryza sativa and Fungus. His research investigates the connection between Cultivar and topics such as Ceratocystis fimbriata that intersect with problems in Colonization. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Plant disease resistance and Colletotrichum sublineolum.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Horticulture (54.78%)
  • Inoculation (42.17%)
  • Botany (36.09%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Horticulture (54.78%)
  • Photosynthesis (24.35%)
  • Inoculation (42.17%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Horticulture, Photosynthesis, Inoculation, Cultivar and Microbiology. His Horticulture study combines topics in areas such as Mold, Transpiration and Stomatal conductance. His Photosynthesis research incorporates themes from Superoxide dismutase, Reactive oxygen species, Resistance, Peroxidase and Carotenoid.

In his study, Glutathione reductase and Food science is strongly linked to Chlorophyll, which falls under the umbrella field of Peroxidase. Fabrício Ávila Rodrigues incorporates Inoculation and Silicon in his research. His Cultivar study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Metabolite and Metabolism.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Nickel potentiates soybean resistance against infection by Phakopsora pachyrhizi (5 citations)
  • Cellular oxidative damage and impairment on the photosynthetic apparatus caused by Asian Soybean Rust on soybeans are alleviated by nickel (2 citations)
  • Glyphosate and nickel differently affect photosynthesis and ethylene in glyphosate-resistant soybean plants infected by Phakopsora pachyrhizi. (1 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Horticulture
  • Fungus

Fabrício Ávila Rodrigues mainly focuses on Horticulture, Photosynthesis, Inoculation, Cultivar and Phakopsora pachyrhizi. The concepts of his Horticulture study are interwoven with issues in Transpiration and Stomatal conductance. In his research, Resistance, Xanthomonas axonopodis and Antioxidant is intimately related to Reactive oxygen species, which falls under the overarching field of Photosynthesis.

His study in APX extends to Inoculation with its themes. His Cultivar study incorporates themes from Peroxidase and Chlorophyll. His Phakopsora pachyrhizi research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Acibenzolar-S-methyl, Photosystem II and Chitinase.
