Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Biochemistry, Mycorrhiza, Paxillus involutus and Ectomycorrhiza. His studies deal with areas such as Laccaria bicolor, Genome, Gene, Populus trichocarpa and Symbiosis as well as Botany. His Symbiosis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Regulation of gene expression and Fungus.

His Paxillus involutus research includes themes of Complementation, Suillus variegatus and Mycelium. Michel Chalot has included themes like Nitrogen cycle and Metabolism in his Ectomycorrhiza study. The various areas that he examines in his Metallothionein study include Glutathione and Mutant.

His most cited work include:

  • The genome of Laccaria bicolor provides insights into mycorrhizal symbiosis (798 citations)
  • Physiology of organic nitrogen acquisition by ectomycorrhizal fungi and ectomycorrhizas (304 citations)
  • Phylogenetic and functional analysis of the Cation Diffusion Facilitator (CDF) family: improved signature and prediction of substrate specificity. (243 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Biochemistry, Mycorrhiza, Biomass and Agronomy. His work in the fields of Botany, such as Fungus, overlaps with other areas such as Context. His study in the fields of Glutamine synthetase, Glutamine, Enzyme and Nitrogen assimilation under the domain of Biochemistry overlaps with other disciplines such as Heterologous expression.

His Mycorrhiza study combines topics in areas such as Mycelium and Hypha. The study incorporates disciplines such as Waste management, Contamination, Soil contamination, Phytoremediation and Nutrient in addition to Biomass. The concepts of his Agronomy study are interwoven with issues in Soil water, Inoculation and Bioremediation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (65.32%)
  • Biochemistry (27.17%)
  • Mycorrhiza (11.56%)

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

  • Botany (65.32%)
  • Agronomy (19.08%)
  • Revegetation (11.56%)

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

His main research concerns Botany, Agronomy, Revegetation, Tailings and Nutrient. He combines Botany and Context in his research. His Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biomass, Short rotation coppice, Ulmus pumila and Ostrya carpinifolia.

His research investigates the link between Revegetation and topics such as Betula pendula that cross with problems in Russulaceae, Pyronemataceae, Salix purpurea and Topsoil. His Nutrient research incorporates themes from Environmental chemistry and Bioaccumulation. As a part of the same scientific family, Michel Chalot mostly works in the field of Microorganism, focusing on Fungus and, on occasion, Dark septate endophyte.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Bacterial diversity associated with poplar trees grown on a Hg-contaminated site: Community characterization and isolation of Hg-resistant plant growth-promoting bacteria (24 citations)
  • Bacterial diversity associated with poplar trees grown on a Hg-contaminated site: Community characterization and isolation of Hg-resistant plant growth-promoting bacteria (24 citations)
  • Inhabiting plant roots, nematodes, and truffles-Polyphilus, a new helotialean genus with two globally distributed species. (15 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Ecology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Rhizosphere, Soil microbiology, Dark septate endophyte and Microorganism. His Botany research includes elements of Organic matter and Soil water. His Rhizosphere study incorporates themes from Inoculation, Shoot, Horticulture and Glomeromycota.

As part of his studies on Soil microbiology, he often connects relevant areas like Lolium perenne. His Dark septate endophyte research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Phialophora, Biological pest control and Fungus. His research on Microorganism frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Heterobasidion annosum.
