Naser A. Anjum mostly deals with Botany, Abiotic stress, Biochemistry, Antioxidant and Glutathione. The study incorporates disciplines such as Salicylic acid, Cadmium and APX in addition to Botany. His work deals with themes such as Reactive oxygen species, Salinity and Abiotic component, which intersect with Abiotic stress.

Oxidative stress and Peroxidase are the subjects of his Biochemistry studies. Naser A. Anjum is interested in Glutathione reductase, which is a field of Antioxidant. His work on TBARS as part of his general Glutathione study is frequently connected to Nicotianamine, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

His most cited work include:

  • Salicylic acid-induced abiotic stress tolerance and underlying mechanisms in plants (372 citations)
  • Modulation of glutathione and its related enzymes in plants’ responses to toxic metals and metalloids—A review (249 citations)
  • Glutathione and glutathione reductase: a boon in disguise for plant abiotic stress defense operations. (233 citations)

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

Naser A. Anjum mainly focuses on Botany, Glutathione, Biochemistry, Abiotic stress and Glutathione reductase. His Botany study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biotic stress and Cadmium. His Glutathione research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Photosynthesis and Oxidative stress.

His study in Peroxidase, Reactive oxygen species, Proline and Metabolism is carried out as part of his Biochemistry studies. His studies deal with areas such as Biotechnology, Salinity, Betaine and Abiotic component as well as Abiotic stress. His study looks at the intersection of Antioxidant and topics like Food science with Shoot.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (37.31%)
  • Glutathione (38.06%)
  • Biochemistry (32.09%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Antioxidant (21.64%)
  • Horticulture (18.66%)
  • Abiotic stress (26.87%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Antioxidant, Horticulture, Abiotic stress, Germination and Reactive oxygen species. His Antioxidant study contributes to a more complete understanding of Biochemistry. His study in Abiotic stress is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Botany, Plant physiology, Proteomics and Abiotic component.

His Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as ENCODE and Phytoremediation. His research investigates the link between Germination and topics such as Oxidative stress that cross with problems in Metabolism, Cell biology and Nitric oxide. His Glutathione reductase study improves the overall literature in Glutathione.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Approaches in modulating proline metabolism in plants for salt and drought stress tolerance: Phytohormones, mineral nutrients and transgenics. (137 citations)
  • Jasmonates in plants under abiotic stresses: crosstalk with other phytohormones matters (77 citations)
  • Ethylene and polyamines in counteracting heavy metal phytotoxicity: a crosstalk perspective. (12 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Botany

Abiotic stress, Abiotic component, Cell biology, Plant physiology and Crosstalk are his primary areas of study. His research integrates issues of Genome, Botany and Oryza sativa in his study of Abiotic stress. His Plant physiology research includes themes of Proline and Salinity.

His Proline study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Biochemistry. Photosynthesis is closely connected to Copper in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Oxidative stress. His Photosynthesis research incorporates elements of Phytotoxicity and Antioxidant.
