Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

Pulugurtha Bharadwaja Kirti focuses on Botany, Genetically modified crops, Arabidopsis, Gene and Genetics. The concepts of his Botany study are interwoven with issues in Molecular biology and Transformation, Agrobacterium. Pulugurtha Bharadwaja Kirti has included themes like Kanamycin and Agrobacterium tumefaciens in his Molecular biology study.

Genetically modified crops is the subject of his research, which falls under Transgene. As a part of the same scientific family, Pulugurtha Bharadwaja Kirti mostly works in the field of Transgene, focusing on Heterologous expression and, on occasion, Cell biology, Plant disease resistance, Superoxide dismutase, Jasmonate and Nicotiana tabacum. His Arabidopsis research incorporates elements of Biotechnology, Ectopic expression and Yield.

His most cited work include:

  • Ectopic expression of an annexin from Brassica juncea confers tolerance to abiotic and biotic stress treatments in transgenic tobacco. (101 citations)
  • Rapid in vitro propagation of medicinally important Ceropegia candelabrum (90 citations)
  • Transgenic tobacco and peanut plants expressing a mustard defensin show resistance to fungal pathogens. (84 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Gene, Genetically modified crops, Transgene and Abiotic stress. His studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like Arachis diogoi and Transformation, Agrobacterium. To a larger extent, Pulugurtha Bharadwaja Kirti studies Genetics with the aim of understanding Gene.

His research integrates issues of Defensin, Horticulture, Microbiology and Agrobacterium tumefaciens in his study of Genetically modified crops. His studies deal with areas such as Protease and Tapetum as well as Transgene. His Biotic stress study in the realm of Abiotic stress interacts with subjects such as Abiotic component.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (39.84%)
  • Gene (33.33%)
  • Genetically modified crops (26.02%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Cell biology (19.51%)
  • Transgene (26.02%)
  • Gene (33.33%)

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

Cell biology, Transgene, Gene, Genetically modified crops and Abiotic stress are his primary areas of study. In general Transgene, his work in Arachis diogoi is often linked to Metalloid linking many areas of study. His work on Brassica rapa, Transcription factor and Auxin is typically connected to Abiotic component as part of general Gene study, connecting several disciplines of science.

His study on Genetically modified crops also encompasses disciplines like

  • Brassica which intersects with area such as Pollen, Stamen, Ferritin and Agrobacterium tumefaciens,
  • Horticulture that intertwine with fields like Transformation. His Abiotic stress research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Microbiology and Gene family. His work on Leaf spot as part of general Botany research is frequently linked to Intestinal epithelium, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Target of rapamycin, a master regulator of multiple signalling pathways and a potential candidate gene for crop improvement. (11 citations)
  • Expressing class I wheat NHX (TaNHX2) gene in eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) improves plant performance under saline condition (10 citations)
  • Plant annexins and their involvement in stress responses (9 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

Pulugurtha Bharadwaja Kirti spends much of his time researching Abiotic stress, Genetically modified crops, Cell biology, Gene and Microbiology. His Abiotic stress study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Arachis hypogaea, NAD+ kinase and Brassica rapa. His Genetically modified crops study is concerned with Transgene in general.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Solanum, Horticulture and Transformation in addition to Transgene. His Gene study improves the overall literature in Genetics. The various areas that Pulugurtha Bharadwaja Kirti examines in his Microbiology study include Plant disease resistance, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, APX, Nicotiana tabacum and Arachis diogoi.
