Horst Vierheilig

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Botany
• Fungus
• Enzyme

Horst Vierheilig spends much of his time researching Botany, Mycorrhiza, Arbuscular mycorrhiza, Glomus and Colonization. The study incorporates disciplines such as Phycomycetes, Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and Arbuscular mycorrhizal in addition to Botany. He combines subjects such as Rhizophagus irregularis, Fungal Structures and Biochemistry with his study of Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.

His study in Arbuscular mycorrhiza is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Jasmonic acid and Abscisic acid. Horst Vierheilig usually deals with Glomus and limits it to topics linked to Solanaceae and Chitinase and Nicotiana tabacum. Horst Vierheilig has researched Colonization in several fields, including Salicylic acid, Rhizobia and Arbuscular mycorrhizal association.

His most cited work include:

• Ink and Vinegar, a Simple Staining Technique for Arbuscular-Mycorrhizal Fungi (1009 citations)
• Ink and Vinegar, a Simple Staining Technique for Arbuscular-Mycorrhizal Fungi (1009 citations)
• Flavonoids and strigolactones in root exudates as signals in symbiotic and pathogenic plant-fungus interactions. (261 citations)

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

Horst Vierheilig mainly focuses on Botany, Glomus, Mycorrhiza, Arbuscular mycorrhiza and Colonization. Horst Vierheilig interconnects Inoculation and Phycomycetes in the investigation of issues within Botany. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Spore germination, Hyphal growth, Herbivore and Shoot.

His Mycorrhiza study also includes fields such as

• Solanaceae which connect with Nicotiana tabacum,
• Abscisic acid, which have a strong connection to Lotus japonicus. His Arbuscular mycorrhiza research includes elements of Jasmonic acid, Germination, Striga, Host and Glomeromycota. In his research on the topic of Colonization, Fungal Structures, Rhizophagus irregularis, Gigaspora rosea and Biochemistry is strongly related with Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.

He most often published in these fields:

• Botany (108.93%)
• Glomus (64.29%)
• Mycorrhiza (61.61%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2018)?

• Botany (108.93%)
• Glomus (64.29%)
• Arbuscular mycorrhiza (51.79%)

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

Horst Vierheilig mainly investigates Botany, Glomus, Arbuscular mycorrhiza, Mycorrhiza and Inoculation. His study in the field of Plant physiology is also linked to topics like Ethylene. His work in Glomus covers topics such as Herbivore which are related to areas like Trophic cascade.

His Mycorrhiza study incorporates themes from Rhizome, Apiaceae, Angelica archangelica and Hordeum vulgare. The concepts of his Inoculation study are interwoven with issues in Legume, Dry matter, Agronomy, Colonisation and Fungus. In his research, Arbuscular mycorrhizal and Plant species is intimately related to Mutant, which falls under the overarching field of Colonization.

Between 2010 and 2018, his most popular works were:

• Ethylene-dependent/ethylene-independent ABA regulation of tomato plants colonized by arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi. (85 citations)
• Arbuscular mycorrhiza enhances nutrient uptake in chickpea. (40 citations)
• A comparison of wild-type, old and modern tomato cultivars in the interaction with the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae and the tomato pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici. (40 citations)

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

• Botany
• Fungus
• Enzyme

His main research concerns Arbuscular mycorrhiza, Botany, Inoculation, Solanum and Shoot. His Arbuscular mycorrhiza study combines topics in areas such as Jasmonate, Hedgehog signaling pathway, Gene, Oxylipin and Glomeromycota. In most of his Botany studies, his work intersects topics such as Jasmonic acid.

His Inoculation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Legume, Agronomy, Human fertilization and Nutrient, Plant nutrition. His Solanum research incorporates elements of Mycorrhiza, Abscisic acid and Biosynthesis. In his study, Regulation of gene expression is inextricably linked to Plant physiology, which falls within the broad field of Shoot.
