Lok Man S. Palni

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Botany
• Ecology
• Enzyme

His main research concerns Botany, Biochemistry, Cytokinin, Zeatin and Rhizosphere. His study in Botany is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soil water and Horticulture. His work on Metabolism and Riboside is typically connected to Isopentenyladenosine as part of general Biochemistry study, connecting several disciplines of science.

He interconnects Explant culture, Adenosine and Biosynthesis, Enzyme in the investigation of issues within Metabolism. His studies in Rhizosphere integrate themes in fields like Inoculation, Food science, Bacillus subtilis and Microbiology. His studies deal with areas such as Nicotiana rustica and Callus as well as Gibberellic acid.

His most cited work include:

• The Biosynthesis and Metabolism of Cytokinins (530 citations)
• Diffusible and volatile compounds produced by an antagonistic Bacillus subtilis strain cause structural deformations in pathogenic fungi in vitro. (178 citations)
• Characterization of a phosphate solubilizing and antagonistic strain of Pseudomonas putida (B0) isolated from a sub-alpine location in the Indian Central Himalaya. (170 citations)

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

Lok Man S. Palni mainly focuses on Botany, Biochemistry, Cytokinin, Metabolism and Zeatin. His Botany research incorporates elements of Rhizosphere and Horticulture. His Rhizosphere study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Inoculation, Microbial inoculant, Camellia sinensis, Colonization and Soil pH.

His Biochemistry research includes themes of Gall and Callus. His work carried out in the field of Metabolism brings together such families of science as Endogeny, Adenosine, Xylem and Catharanthus roseus. His work deals with themes such as High-performance liquid chromatography and Sephadex, which intersect with Riboside.

He most often published in these fields:

• Botany (60.75%)
• Biochemistry (38.32%)
• Cytokinin (38.32%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2019)?

• Botany (60.75%)
• Horticulture (18.69%)
• Agronomy (11.21%)

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

Lok Man S. Palni mostly deals with Botany, Horticulture, Agronomy, Podophyllum and Ecology. The various areas that Lok Man S. Palni examines in his Botany study include Food science and Amplified fragment length polymorphism, Genetic diversity. Lok Man S. Palni has researched Agronomy in several fields, including Inoculation, Shifting cultivation, Biological pest control, Soil microbiology and Pseudomonas.

His work on Microbial inoculant as part of general Inoculation study is frequently linked to Eleusine, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His work carried out in the field of Podophyllum brings together such families of science as Rhizome and Gene flow, Genetic variation. His Shoot research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Picrorhiza kurrooa, RAPD, Murashige and Skoog medium and Plant physiology.

Between 2009 and 2019, his most popular works were:

• Assessment of genetic fidelity of encapsulated microshoots of Picrorhiza kurrooa (70 citations)
• Enhancement in growth and quality parameters of tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze) through inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in an acid soil (28 citations)
• Recovery of Bacillus and Pseudomonas spp. from the 'fired plots' under shifting cultivation in northeast India. (17 citations)

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

• Botany
• Ecology
• Enzyme

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Inoculation, Shoot, Horticulture and Microbial inoculant. His Agronomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Bacillus, Biological pest control, Shifting cultivation, Soil microbiology and Pseudomonas. His Inoculation research incorporates themes from Camellia sinensis, Germination, Dry weight, Soil pH and Cutting.

His Shoot study is concerned with the field of Botany as a whole. When carried out as part of a general Horticulture research project, his work on Root formation is frequently linked to work in Genetic stability, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His study in Microbial inoculant is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Echinochloa frumentacea, Rhizosphere, Chlorophyll and Biofertilizer.
