Nicole Benhamou

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

• Botany
• Enzyme
• Gene

Her main research concerns Botany, Microbiology, Hypha, Fusarium oxysporum and Cell wall. As part of her studies on Botany, Nicole Benhamou often connects relevant areas like Inoculation. Nicole Benhamou has researched Microbiology in several fields, including Chitin, Rhizobacteria and Chitinase.

Her studies deal with areas such as Protoplasm, Xylem, Plant defense against herbivory, Phycomycetes and Pythium ultimum as well as Hypha. Her Fusarium oxysporum study combines topics in areas such as Plant disease resistance, Pathogen, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. radicis-lycopersici, Lycopersicon and Elicitor. Her Cell wall research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ultrastructure, Cytochemistry, Enzyme, Fungi imperfecti and Pythium.

Her most cited work include:

• Induction of defense responses in cucumber plants (Cucumis sativus L. ) By the biocontrol agent trichoderma harzianum (594 citations)
• Defense enzymes induced in cucumber roots by treatment with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and Pythium aphanidermatum. (407 citations)
• Accumulation of an Acidic Dehydrin in the Vicinity of the Plasma Membrane during Cold Acclimation of Wheat (359 citations)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Microbiology, Cell wall, Botany, Hypha and Biochemistry. Her Microbiology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Chitin, Pythium, Fusarium oxysporum and Pythium ultimum. Her Cell wall study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Immunogold labelling, Trichoderma harzianum, Fungi imperfecti and Cytochemistry.

Her Botany research includes elements of Plant disease resistance and Inoculation. Nicole Benhamou has included themes like Rhizoctonia solani, Stele, Xylem, Phycomycetes and Epidermis in her Hypha study. In general Biochemistry study, her work on Lectin, Cytoplasm and Polysaccharide often relates to the realm of Aplysia depilans and Colloidal gold, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

She most often published in these fields:

• Microbiology (54.42%)
• Cell wall (35.37%)
• Botany (33.33%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2001-2014)?

• Botany (33.33%)
• Pythium oligandrum (11.56%)
• Microbiology (54.42%)

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

Nicole Benhamou focuses on Botany, Pythium oligandrum, Microbiology, Hypha and Horticulture. In the field of Botany, her study on Powdery mildew, Poaceae and Fungus overlaps with subjects such as Phytoalexin. Nicole Benhamou combines subjects such as Rhizosphere, Oomycete and Phycomycetes with her study of Pythium oligandrum.

The various areas that she examines in her Microbiology study include Protoplasm and Cell wall. Her Hypha research incorporates elements of Phytophthora, Pythium and Fusarium oxysporum. In her research, Trichoderma harzianum is intimately related to Antibiosis, which falls under the overarching field of Fusarium oxysporum.

Between 2001 and 2014, her most popular works were:

• Concomitant induction of systemic resistance to Pseudomonas syringae pv. lachrymans in cucumber by Trichoderma asperellum (T-203) and accumulation of phytoalexins. (292 citations)
• Cytological Evidence of an Active Role of Silicon in Wheat Resistance to Powdery Mildew (Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici). (245 citations)
• Silicon enhances the accumulation of diterpenoid phytoalexins in rice: a potential mechanism for blast resistance. (235 citations)

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

• Botany
• Enzyme
• Gene

Her primary areas of investigation include Botany, Microbiology, Poaceae, Inoculation and Powdery mildew. Her primary area of study in Botany is in the field of Fungus. Her work on Pathogen and Hypha as part of general Microbiology research is frequently linked to Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, bridging the gap between disciplines.

In her study, Fusarium oxysporum is strongly linked to Protoplasm, which falls under the umbrella field of Pathogen. Her Hypha research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Phycomycetes, Fusarium, Pythium oligandrum and Root rot. In Inoculation, Nicole Benhamou works on issues like Chitin, which are connected to Penicillium digitatum.
