Janet I. Sprent

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

• Botany
• Ecology
• Bacteria

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Nitrogen fixation, Root nodule, Burkholderia phymatum and Rhizobia. Her studies deal with areas such as Mesorhizobium, Nitrogenase and Rhizobium as well as Botany. Her studies in Nitrogen fixation integrate themes in fields like Ecology, Fabaceae, Caesalpinioideae, Agronomy and Symbiosis.

Her study focuses on the intersection of Symbiosis and fields such as Cyanobacteria with connections in the field of Fixation and Aquatic ecosystem. As a part of the same scientific family, Janet I. Sprent mostly works in the field of Root nodule, focusing on Water stress and, on occasion, Respiratory system and Glycine. Her work deals with themes such as Cupriavidus taiwanensis and Microbiology, which intersect with Burkholderia phymatum.

Her most cited work include:

• Towards an ecological understanding of biological nitrogen fixation (667 citations)
• A new subfamily classification of the leguminosae based on a taxonomically comprehensive phylogeny (368 citations)
• Nodulation in Legumes (336 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Nitrogen fixation, Root nodule, Rhizobia and Agronomy. Her Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Rhizobium, Burkholderia phymatum, Burkholderia and Microbiology. Her Rhizobium research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Rhizobiaceae and Caesalpinioideae.

The Nitrogen fixation study combines topics in areas such as Cyanobacteria, Ecology, Chamaecrista and Symbiosis. Her Root nodule research focuses on Nodule and how it relates to Leghemoglobin. The concepts of her Rhizobia study are interwoven with issues in Taxonomy, Acacia, Phylogenetics and Root hair.

She most often published in these fields:

• Botany (60.34%)
• Nitrogen fixation (35.44%)
• Root nodule (24.05%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2006-2018)?

• Botany (60.34%)
• Nitrogen fixation (35.44%)
• Rhizobia (23.63%)

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

Janet I. Sprent mainly investigates Botany, Nitrogen fixation, Rhizobia, Burkholderia and Ecology. Her work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as Symbiosis, Root nodule, Agronomy and Rhizobium. Her work in the fields of Nitrogenase overlaps with other areas such as Nodule.

Her work on Mesorhizobium as part of general Rhizobia research is often related to Betaproteobacteria, thus linking different fields of science. Her research integrates issues of Phaseoleae, Microbiology and Cupriavidus in her study of Burkholderia. Her work in the fields of Ecology, such as Chamaecrista fasciculata, Ecology, Mediterranean ecosystem and Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, intersects with other areas such as Global distribution.

Between 2006 and 2018, her most popular works were:

• A new subfamily classification of the leguminosae based on a taxonomically comprehensive phylogeny (368 citations)
• Evolving ideas of legume evolution and diversity: a taxonomic perspective on the occurrence of nodulation (329 citations)
• Legume-nodulating betaproteobacteria: diversity, host range, and future prospects. (257 citations)

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

• Botany
• Ecology
• Bacteria

Botany, Burkholderia, Nitrogen fixation, Burkholderia phymatum and Rhizobia are her primary areas of study. Her Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Mesorhizobium, Symbiosis, Root nodule and Rhizobium. She usually deals with Symbiosis and limits it to topics linked to Evolutionary biology and Horizontal gene transfer, Species complex and Introduced species.

Her Rhizobium research incorporates themes from Sinorhizobium and Caesalpinioideae. Janet I. Sprent has researched Nitrogen fixation in several fields, including Legume, Agronomy, Fabaceae, Agriculture and Biogeography. Her work in Rhizobia addresses issues such as Host, which are connected to fields such as Soil microbiology and Phylogenetics.
