  • Artemisinin, a novel antimalarial drug: biochemical and molecular approaches for enhanced production. (204 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Artemisia annua, Biochemistry, Horticulture and Artemisinin. His Botany research includes elements of Explant culture and Food science. His research on Artemisia annua frequently links to adjacent areas such as Terpenoid.

His Horticulture study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sulfur, Nitrate, Nitrate reductase and Agronomy. His work deals with themes such as Photosynthesis and Nutrient, Plant nutrition, which intersect with Agronomy. The concepts of his Artemisinin study are interwoven with issues in Sesquiterpene lactone, Pharmacology and Biosynthesis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (30.60%)
  • Artemisia annua (17.24%)
  • Biochemistry (17.24%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Botany (30.60%)
  • Biochemistry (17.24%)
  • Piriformospora (5.60%)

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

Malik Zainul Abdin mostly deals with Botany, Biochemistry, Piriformospora, Artemisia annua and Artemisinin. His work on Callus as part of his general Botany study is frequently connected to Withania somnifera, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His work in the fields of Biochemistry, such as Gene, Fatty acid, Fatty acid elongation and Enzyme, overlaps with other areas such as Short-chain fatty acid.

His Artemisia annua research includes themes of Proline, Superoxide dismutase, Biosynthesis, Glutathione reductase and Azotobacter chroococcum. His Artemisinin research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sesquiterpene lactone, Chlorophyll, Horticulture, Squalene and Pharmacology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Medicinal plants and Euryale ferox.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Mitochondrial and Chromosomal Damage Induced by Oxidative Stress in Zn 2+ Ions, ZnO-Bulk and ZnO-NPs treated Allium cepa roots (63 citations)
  • GRP78 Is an Important Host Factor for Japanese Encephalitis Virus Entry and Replication in Mammalian Cells. (54 citations)
  • Japanese encephalitis virus activates autophagy through XBP1 and ATF6 ER stress sensors in neuronal cells. (41 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

His main research concerns Botany, Biochemistry, Piriformospora, Virology and Flavivirus. His work on Chlorella as part of general Botany research is frequently linked to Withania somnifera, bridging the gap between disciplines. By researching both Biochemistry and Short-chain fatty acid, Malik Zainul Abdin produces research that crosses academic boundaries.

His research integrates issues of Inoculation, Azotobacter chroococcum, Aloe vera and Artemisia annua, Artemisinin in his study of Piriformospora. His Artemisia annua research incorporates elements of Lipid peroxidation, Superoxide dismutase, Reductase and Glutathione reductase. His Artemisinin research incorporates themes from Nitrogen fixation, Horticulture, Azotobacter, Sugar and Microbial inoculant.
