Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Ecology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Symbiosis, Mycorrhiza, Salinity and Glomus. His studies deal with areas such as Abscisic acid, Abiotic component and Aquaporin as well as Botany. In Symbiosis, he works on issues like Plant physiology, which are connected to Arbuscular mycorrhiza.

His Mycorrhiza research integrates issues from Superoxide dismutase, Osmotic shock, Lactuca, Shoot and Mycelium. His work on Soil salinity as part of general Salinity study is frequently linked to Osmoprotectant, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. He combines subjects such as L-ascorbate peroxidase, Catalase, APX and Root nodule with his study of Glomus.

His most cited work include:

  • Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis and alleviation of osmotic stress. New perspectives for molecular studies (413 citations)
  • Arbuscular mycorrhizal influence on leaf water potential, solute accumulation, and oxidative stress in soybean plants subjected to drought stress (377 citations)
  • Regulation of root water uptake under abiotic stress conditions (344 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Symbiosis, Mycorrhiza, Agronomy and Aquaporin. His work deals with themes such as Inoculation and Salinity, which intersect with Botany. His Symbiosis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Photosynthesis, Gene expression, Abscisic acid and Drought tolerance.

His study in Mycorrhiza is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Bradyrhizobium japonicum, Glomus, Lactuca, Mycelium and Transpiration. His research in Agronomy intersects with topics in Microorganism, Soil water, Nutrient and Microbial inoculant. His Aquaporin research incorporates themes from Hydraulic conductivity, Regulation of gene expression and Drought stress.

  • Botany (71.17%)
  • Symbiosis (55.86%)
  • Mycorrhiza (29.73%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

  • Botany (71.17%)
  • Symbiosis (55.86%)
  • Aquaporin (23.42%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Symbiosis, Aquaporin, Horticulture and Stomatal conductance. His Botany study focuses on Plant physiology in particular. His Symbiosis research includes themes of Photosynthesis and Apoplast.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Hydraulic conductivity, Jasmonic acid and Abiotic component. His study on Horticulture also encompasses disciplines like

  • Hydrogen peroxide which connect with Plant growth, Antioxidant, Root mass and Oxidative damage,
  • Mutant that intertwine with fields like Gene expression, Inoculation and Biosynthesis. His work is dedicated to discovering how Stomatal conductance, Shoot are connected with Mycorrhiza, Photosynthetic capacity and Nutrient and other disciplines.

Between 2016 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Enhanced Drought Stress Tolerance by the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis in a Drought-Sensitive Maize Cultivar Is Related to a Broader and Differential Regulation of Host Plant Aquaporins than in a Drought-Tolerant Cultivar. (60 citations)
  • Arbuscular mycorrhiza effects on plant performance under osmotic stress. (52 citations)
  • Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis and salicylic acid regulate aquaporins and root hydraulic properties in maize plants subjected to drought (19 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Ecology

Juan Manuel Ruiz-Lozano focuses on Aquaporin, Symbiosis, Botany, Agronomy and Stomatal conductance. His Aquaporin research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Jasmonic acid and Plant physiology. His Plant physiology study combines topics in areas such as Cultivar, Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis, Biomass, Drought stress and Drought tolerance.

The various areas that Juan Manuel Ruiz-Lozano examines in his Agronomy study include Arbuscular mycorrhiza, Rhizosphere and Nutrient. His Nutrient study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Salinity, Soil salinity, Osmotic shock, Water-use efficiency and Cytokinin. Juan Manuel Ruiz-Lozano interconnects Photosynthetic capacity, Hydraulic conductivity, Plant hormone and Horticulture in the investigation of issues within Stomatal conductance.
