Marjo Helander

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

• Ecology
• Botany
• Fungus

Marjo Helander spends much of her time researching Endophyte, Botany, Ecology, Symbiosis and Herbivore. The concepts of her Endophyte study are interwoven with issues in Genetic variation, Poaceae, Lolium perenne, Agrostis capillaris and Elymus repens. She has included themes like Host, Nutrient, Agronomy and Genetic diversity in her Botany study.

Her study on Ecology is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Epichloë. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biomass, Competition and Scots pine. In her work, Reactive oxygen species, Evolutionary ecology and Plant community is strongly intertwined with Abiotic component, which is a subfield of Mutualism.

Her most cited work include:

• FUNGAL ENDOPHYTES: A Continuum of Interactions with Host Plants (806 citations)
• Evolution of endophyte-plant symbioses (409 citations)
• Model systems in ecology: dissecting the endophyte–grass literature (237 citations)

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

Marjo Helander mainly investigates Botany, Endophyte, Agronomy, Herbivore and Epichloë. Her Endophyte research incorporates themes from Ecology, Host, Symbiosis, Neotyphodium and Festuca pratensis. Her Neotyphodium research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Herbaceous plant and Abiotic component.

Her research integrates issues of Nutrient and Plant litter in her study of Agronomy. Her Herbivore study incorporates themes from Arvicolinae, Predation, Insect, Poaceae and Grazing. As part of the same scientific family, Marjo Helander usually focuses on Epichloë, concentrating on Festuca arundinacea and intersecting with Lolium perenne.

She most often published in these fields:

• Botany (58.47%)
• Endophyte (55.93%)
• Agronomy (29.66%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

• Glyphosate (13.56%)
• Epichloë (26.27%)
• Festuca rubra (12.71%)

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

Marjo Helander mostly deals with Glyphosate, Epichloë, Festuca rubra, Shikimate pathway and Aromatic amino acids. Her Epichloë study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Endophyte and Ecology, Herbivore, Abiotic component. She has researched Endophyte in several fields, including Perennial plant, Festuca pratensis, Elymus repens, Arbuscular mycorrhiza and No-till farming.

Her research in Herbivore intersects with topics in Mutualism, Insect, Host and Festuca arundinacea. The study incorporates disciplines such as Zoology, Gene flow, Genetic variation, Genetic diversity and Phenotypic plasticity in addition to Festuca rubra. Her research investigates the connection between Phenotypic plasticity and topics such as Biomass that intersect with issues in Botany.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

• Glyphosate decreases mycorrhizal colonization and affects plant-soil feedback. (28 citations)
• Effects of a glyphosate-based herbicide on soil animal trophic groups and associated ecosystem functioning in a northern agricultural field (14 citations)
• Glyphosate residues in soil affect crop plant germination and growth. (10 citations)

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

• Ecology
• Botany
• Fungus

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Glyphosate, Ecosystem, Agronomy, Crop and Weed. Her work carried out in the field of Glyphosate brings together such families of science as Livestock, Leptinotarsa and Plumage. Her Ecosystem research integrates issues from Microbiome, Biodiversity, Ecology and Environmental resource management.

Her Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Soil biology, Soil water, Decomposer, Plant litter and Arbuscular mycorrhiza. The concepts of her Crop study are interwoven with issues in Instar, Colorado potato beetle, Larva and Horticulture. The various areas that Marjo Helander examines in her Weed study include Endophyte, Perennial plant, No-till farming and Festuca pratensis.
