Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Botany
  • Enzyme

Hani Antoun spends much of her time researching Botany, Rhizobacteria, Rhizosphere, Rhizobia and Rhizobium. Her Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Pseudomonas fluorescens, Horticulture and Pseudomonas. Her Rhizobacteria research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Agronomy and Siderophore.

Her research investigates the link between Agronomy and topics such as Soil fertility that cross with problems in Shoot. The Rhizosphere study which covers Trichoderma that intersects with Glomeromycota and Microbiology. She combines subjects such as Soil biology and Rhizobiaceae, Rhizobium leguminosarum with her study of Rhizobia.

Her most cited work include:

  • Potential of Rhizobium and Bradyrhizobium species as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria on non-legumes: Effect on radishes (Raphanus sativus L.) (398 citations)
  • Growth stimulation and fruit yield improvement of greenhouse tomato plants by inoculation with pseudomonas putida or Trichoderma atroviride: Possible role of indole acetic acid (IAA) (359 citations)
  • Growth promotion of maize and lettuce by phosphate-solubilizing Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar. phaseoli (274 citations)

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

Hani Antoun mostly deals with Botany, Rhizobium, Agronomy, Bacteria and Microbiology. Her work deals with themes such as Rhizobia, Nitrogen fixation, Rhizosphere, Rhizobacteria and Rhizobium leguminosarum, which intersect with Botany. While the research belongs to areas of Rhizobacteria, she spends her time largely on the problem of Siderophore, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Pythium ultimum and Compost.

Her Rhizobium research integrates issues from Onobrychis viciifolia, Sinorhizobium meliloti, Rhizobiaceae and Root nodule. Her Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Loam and Inoculation. Hani Antoun has included themes like Food science and Plant physiology in her Bacteria study.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (37.11%)
  • Rhizobium (27.84%)
  • Agronomy (22.68%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Biochar (6.19%)
  • Bacteria (20.62%)
  • Agronomy (22.68%)

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

Hani Antoun mainly investigates Biochar, Bacteria, Agronomy, Phosphorite and Horticulture. Her work carried out in the field of Bacteria brings together such families of science as Inoculation and Botany. She works in the field of Botany, focusing on Fungus in particular.

Her Agronomy study incorporates themes from Denitrification and Eutrophication. Her Horticulture research includes themes of Fertigation and Compost. Hani Antoun interconnects Biological pest control, Plant growth and Siderophore in the investigation of issues within Rhizobacteria.

Between 2010 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Trapping of phosphate solubilizing bacteria on hyphae of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Rhizophagus irregularis DAOM 197198 (44 citations)
  • Beneficial microorganisms for the sustainable use of phosphates in agriculture (39 citations)
  • Plant-Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (33 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Botany
  • Fungus

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Bacteria, Rhizobacteria, Botany, Microorganism and Microbiology. Her research integrates issues of Biological pest control, Plant growth, Siderophore and Fungus in her study of Rhizobacteria. Her studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like Mycorrhizosphere and Phosphate solubilizing bacteria.

Her Microorganism research incorporates themes from Soil water, Inoculation, Ecosystem and Rhizosphere. Her research on Microbiology also deals with topics like

  • Bacillus subtilis which intersects with area such as Mycelium,
  • Burkholderia anthina together with Hypha and Phosphorite. Her study explores the link between Beneficial organism and topics such as Agronomy that cross with problems in Horticulture.
