Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agriculture

His main research concerns Agronomy, Botany, Shoot, Nitrogen assimilation and Nitrate. The Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Assimilation, Nitrogen fixation, Herbaspirillum and Agriculture. His Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Environmental chemistry and Rhizobium.

His study brings together the fields of Nitrate reductase and Shoot. The study incorporates disciplines such as Perennial plant and Dry matter in addition to Nitrate. His Perennial plant research integrates issues from Soil water and Xylem.

His most cited work include:

  • The partitioning of nitrate assimilation between root and shoot of higher plants (385 citations)
  • Do plants need nitrate? The mechanisms by which nitrogen form affects plants (155 citations)
  • Can genetic manipulation of plant nitrogen assimilation enzymes result in increased crop yield and greater N-use efficiency? An assessment (127 citations)

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

Mitchell Andrews focuses on Botany, Agronomy, Shoot, Nitrate and Horticulture. His work deals with themes such as Mesorhizobium, Rhizobia, Rhizobium and Root nodule, which intersect with Botany. His work in Agronomy tackles topics such as Nitrogen fixation which are related to areas like Microbial inoculant and Abundance.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Dry weight and Dry matter. His research related to Nitrate reductase and Nitrogen assimilation might be considered part of Nitrate. His Nitrogen assimilation research includes elements of Assimilation, Nitrite reductase and Xylem.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (50.00%)
  • Agronomy (37.27%)
  • Shoot (24.55%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?

  • Botany (50.00%)
  • Rhizobia (16.36%)
  • Mesorhizobium (9.09%)

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

His primary areas of study are Botany, Rhizobia, Mesorhizobium, Bradyrhizobium and Root nodule. His studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like rpoB, 16S ribosomal RNA and Mesorhizobium ciceri. His Rhizobia research integrates issues from Legume, Agronomy, Clade, Rhizobium and Systematics.

His Agronomy study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Microbial inoculant. His work in Mesorhizobium addresses subjects such as Phylogenetics, which are connected to disciplines such as Genetic diversity and Nitrogen fixation. His Bradyrhizobium research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Lupinus polyphyllus and Microbiology.

Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Do plants need nitrate? The mechanisms by which nitrogen form affects plants (155 citations)
  • Specificity in Legume-Rhizobia Symbioses. (123 citations)
  • Minimal standards for the description of new genera and species of rhizobia and agrobacteria (55 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agriculture

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Rhizobia, Bradyrhizobium, Root nodule and Rhizobium. Mitchell Andrews has researched Botany in several fields, including 16S ribosomal RNA and Microbiology. His Rhizobia study combines topics in areas such as Whole genome sequencing, Bacterial taxonomy, Systematics, Taxonomy and Genetic variation.

His Bradyrhizobium research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Mesorhizobium and Galega orientalis. The various areas that Mitchell Andrews examines in his Root nodule study include Genisteae, Bradyrhizobium japonicum, Clade and Rhizobium leguminosarum. His research in Rhizobium intersects with topics in Biodiversity, Genome, Horizontal gene transfer, Phylogenetic tree and Symbiosis.
