Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria

Muhammad Hamayun mainly focuses on Botany, Gibberellin, Abscisic acid, Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense and Shoot. Endophyte and Gibberellic acid are among the areas of Botany where Muhammad Hamayun concentrates his study. His Gibberellin study incorporates themes from Phosphate and Strain.

His Abscisic acid research includes elements of Chlorophyll, Horticulture and Abiotic stress. His work deals with themes such as Salicylic acid, Salinity and Plant physiology, which intersect with Horticulture. His research in Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense intersects with topics in Gibberella fujikuroi, Cultivar and Penicillium citrinum.

His most cited work include:

  • Endophytic fungi produce gibberellins and indoleacetic acid and promotes host-plant growth during stress. (260 citations)
  • Endophytic fungal association via gibberellins and indole acetic acid can improve plant growth under abiotic stress: an example of Paecilomyces formosus LHL10 (196 citations)
  • Plant growth promotion and Penicillium citrinum (180 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Horticulture, Gibberellin, Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense and Shoot. Muhammad Hamayun combines subjects such as Salicylic acid, Jasmonic acid and Abscisic acid with his study of Botany. His work in Abscisic acid covers topics such as Food science which are related to areas like Antioxidant and Nutrient.

His research integrates issues of Proline, Salinity and Agronomy in his study of Horticulture. His studies deal with areas such as Cultivar, Calcium, Strain, Oryza sativa and Gibberellic acid as well as Gibberellin. Muhammad Hamayun has included themes like Gibberella fujikuroi, Bioassay, Fungus and Penicillium in his Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (44.93%)
  • Horticulture (28.99%)
  • Gibberellin (26.57%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Horticulture (28.99%)
  • Food science (10.14%)
  • Antioxidant (4.35%)

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

Muhammad Hamayun spends much of his time researching Horticulture, Food science, Antioxidant, Botany and Sunflower. His Horticulture research incorporates themes from Proline, Stomatal conductance and Aspergillus niger. His work investigates the relationship between Proline and topics such as Gibberellic acid that intersect with problems in Abscisic acid.

Endophyte and Xanthium strumarium are the core of his Botany study. In his study, Penicillium glabrum is strongly linked to Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense, which falls under the umbrella field of Sunflower. His work carried out in the field of Shoot brings together such families of science as Salicylic acid and Superoxide dismutase.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Silicon Confers Soybean Resistance to Salinity Stress Through Regulation of Reactive Oxygen and Reactive Nitrogen Species. (12 citations)
  • Phytohormones producing rhizobacterium alleviates chromium toxicity in Helianthus annuus L. by reducing chromate uptake and strengthening antioxidant system. (8 citations)
  • Yucasin and cinnamic acid inhibit IAA and flavonoids biosynthesis minimizing interaction between maize and endophyte Aspergillus nomius (5 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria

His primary scientific interests are in Horticulture, Sunflower, Antioxidant, Helianthus annuus and Rhizosphere. His research brings together the fields of Jasmonic acid and Horticulture. His work deals with themes such as Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense, Indole-3-acetic acid and Aspergillus niger, which intersect with Antioxidant.

Muhammad Hamayun works mostly in the field of Indole-3-acetic acid, limiting it down to topics relating to Food science and, in certain cases, Chromate conversion coating and Photosynthesis. His Helianthus annuus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Glycine, Inoculation, Chromium toxicity and Endophytic fungus. Muhammad Hamayun has included themes like Superoxide dismutase, Catalase, APX, Abscisic acid and Salicylic acid in his Rhizosphere study.
