Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

Johanna Döbereiner focuses on Nitrogen fixation, Botany, Agronomy, Diazotroph and Endophyte. Johanna Döbereiner works on Nitrogen fixation which deals in particular with Nitrogenase. Her Botany study combines topics in areas such as Sugar, Acetobacter and Acetic acid.

In her study, Urea, Plant tissue and Fertilizer is inextricably linked to Nitrogen balance, which falls within the broad field of Agronomy. Particularly relevant to Herbaspirillum is her body of work in Diazotroph. The concepts of her Poaceae study are interwoven with issues in Rhizosphere and Azospirillum brasilense.

Her most cited work include:

  • A new acid-tolerant nitrogen-fixing bacterium associated with sugarcane (526 citations)
  • Recent advances in BNF with non-legume plants (318 citations)
