Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Botany
  • Enzyme

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Rhizosphere, Rhizobacteria, Bacteria and Microbiology. Her Agronomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Rhizobium and Horticulture. Fauzia Yusuf Hafeez combines subjects such as Plant disease resistance, Siderophore and Bacillus subtilis with her study of Rhizosphere.

Her study in Rhizobacteria is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Azotobacter and Pyricularia. Her Bacteria research incorporates elements of Genotype and Phylogenetic tree. Her Microbiology research integrates issues from 16S ribosomal RNA, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Pseudomonas putida.

Her most cited work include:

  • Phosphorus uptake and growth promotion of chickpea by co-inoculation of mineral phosphate solubilising bacteria and a mixed rhizobial culture (104 citations)
  • Enhancing crop growth, nutrients availability, economics and beneficial rhizosphere microflora through organic and biofertilizers (91 citations)
  • Plant growth-promoting bacteria as biofertilizer (65 citations)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Botany, Microbiology, Rhizosphere, Rhizobacteria and Horticulture. Her Botany study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Nitrogen fixation, Nitrogenase, Bradyrhizobium and Root nodule. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Bacillus thuringiensis, Fusarium, 16S ribosomal RNA and Bacillus subtilis.

Rhizosphere is the subject of her research, which falls under Bacteria. Her Rhizobacteria research includes elements of Pyricularia, Azotobacter, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Mycelium. Her study in Horticulture is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Oryza sativa and Bacillus cereus.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (29.90%)
  • Microbiology (40.21%)
  • Rhizosphere (35.05%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2019)?

  • Rhizosphere (35.05%)
  • Microbiology (40.21%)
  • Rhizobacteria (30.93%)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Rhizosphere, Microbiology, Rhizobacteria, Surfactin and Fusarium. Her Rhizosphere study is associated with Bacteria. Her Microbiology study incorporates themes from Bacillus species and Probiotic.

She has researched Rhizobacteria in several fields, including Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, Superoxide dismutase, Pyricularia, Horticulture and Glucanase. In her study, Fusarium oxysporum, Paenibacillus polymyxa, Fusarium solani and Bacillus subtilis is inextricably linked to Lipopeptide, which falls within the broad field of Surfactin. Her Fusarium study combines topics in areas such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Xanthomonas oryzae and Microbial inoculant.

Between 2015 and 2019, her most popular works were:

  • Biocontrol of Bacterial Leaf Blight of Rice and Profiling of Secondary Metabolites Produced by Rhizospheric Pseudomonas aeruginosa BRp3. (53 citations)
  • Biocontrol of Bacterial Leaf Blight of Rice and Profiling of Secondary Metabolites Produced by Rhizospheric Pseudomonas aeruginosa BRp3. (53 citations)
  • Bacillus spp., a bio-control agent enhances the activity of antioxidant defense enzymes in rice against Pyricularia oryzae (49 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Botany
  • Enzyme

Fauzia Yusuf Hafeez focuses on Rhizosphere, Siderophore, Microbial inoculant, Xanthomonas oryzae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Fauzia Yusuf Hafeez has included themes like Food science, Fusarium oxysporum and Pyricularia in her Rhizosphere study. In her study, Inoculation is strongly linked to Bakanae, which falls under the umbrella field of Fusarium oxysporum.

Her studies in Pyricularia integrate themes in fields like Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, Plant disease resistance, Superoxide dismutase, Rhizobacteria and Glucanase. The study of Glucanase is intertwined with the study of Botany in a number of ways. The various areas that Fauzia Yusuf Hafeez examines in her Microbial inoculant study include Fusarium and Microbiology.
