Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Gene

His primary areas of investigation include Antioxidant, Food science, Proline, Biochemistry and Malondialdehyde. His Antioxidant research focuses on subjects like Osmolyte, which are linked to APX. His Food science research includes elements of Salicylic acid, Oxidative stress, Chlorophyll and Polyphenol.

His Proline study combines topics in areas such as Lipid peroxidation, Shoot and Glyoxalase system. His research investigates the connection with Glutathione reductase and areas like Peroxidase which intersect with concerns in Secondary metabolite. As a part of the same scientific family, Parvaiz Ahmad mostly works in the field of Superoxide dismutase, focusing on Catalase and, on occasion, Vicia faba.

His most cited work include:

  • Calcium and Potassium Supplementation Enhanced Growth, Osmolyte Secondary Metabolite Production, and Enzymatic Antioxidant Machinery in Cadmium-Exposed Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). (89 citations)
  • Calcium and Potassium Supplementation Enhanced Growth, Osmolyte Secondary Metabolite Production, and Enzymatic Antioxidant Machinery in Cadmium-Exposed Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). (89 citations)
  • Jasmonic Acid Modulates the Physio-Biochemical Attributes, Antioxidant Enzyme Activity, and Gene Expression in Glycine max under Nickel Toxicity (81 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Antioxidant, Horticulture, Food science, Proline and Shoot. His Antioxidant study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Glutathione. His work carried out in the field of Horticulture brings together such families of science as Photosynthesis, Stomatal conductance and Crop.

His Food science study incorporates themes from Malondialdehyde, Oxidative stress, Ascorbate glutathione cycle, Chlorophyll and Methylglyoxal. The study incorporates disciplines such as Salicylic acid, Osmolyte and APX in addition to Proline. His studies deal with areas such as Dry weight and Plant physiology as well as Shoot.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Antioxidant (49.87%)
  • Horticulture (42.59%)
  • Food science (41.24%)

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

  • Horticulture (42.59%)
  • Antioxidant (49.87%)
  • Proline (37.20%)

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

Parvaiz Ahmad mostly deals with Horticulture, Antioxidant, Proline, Food science and Shoot. In his study, Solanum, Osmoprotectant and Nutrient is inextricably linked to Photosynthesis, which falls within the broad field of Horticulture. The Antioxidant study combines topics in areas such as Peroxidase, Oxidative stress, Glutathione and Nitrate reductase.

His Proline research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Salinity, Superoxide dismutase, Catalase, APX and Hydrogen peroxide. His Food science research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Malondialdehyde and Ascorbate glutathione cycle. His study looks at the relationship between Shoot and topics such as Plant physiology, which overlap with Transpiration.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Melatonin and calcium function synergistically to promote the resilience through ROS metabolism under arsenic-induced stress (31 citations)
  • Salicylic acid-induced nitric oxide enhances arsenic toxicity tolerance in maize plants by upregulating the ascorbate-glutathione cycle and glyoxalase system. (25 citations)
  • Salicylic acid-induced nitric oxide enhances arsenic toxicity tolerance in maize plants by upregulating the ascorbate-glutathione cycle and glyoxalase system. (25 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Botany

Parvaiz Ahmad spends much of his time researching Antioxidant, Proline, Food science, Glutathione and Shoot. His Antioxidant research is within the category of Biochemistry. His study ties his expertise on Catalase together with the subject of Proline.

His research on Food science often connects related areas such as Chlorophyll. The various areas that Parvaiz Ahmad examines in his Glutathione study include Photosynthesis, Photosystem II, Biophysics and Plant physiology. His Shoot study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sunflower, Pseudomonas moraviensis and Transpiration.
