Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Biochemistry

Her primary scientific interests are in Biochemistry, Antioxidant, Botany, Oxidative stress and Glutathione reductase. Her work in the fields of Abscisic acid, Gene expression, Oxidative phosphorylation and Electron transport chain overlaps with other areas such as Malate synthase. Her Antioxidant study which covers Proline that intersects with Malondialdehyde, Raphanus and Food science.

Her research integrates issues of Lipid peroxidation and Water content in her study of Botany. Her study explores the link between Oxidative stress and topics such as Abiotic component that cross with problems in Photosynthesis and Photosystem. In her research, Superoxide dismutase is intimately related to Peroxidase, which falls under the overarching field of Glutathione reductase.

Her most cited work include:

  • Response of Phenylpropanoid Pathway and the Role of Polyphenols in Plants under Abiotic Stress. (179 citations)
  • Exogenous application of brassinosteroid offers tolerance to salinity by altering stress responses in rice variety Pusa Basmati-1. (116 citations)
  • Chromium Stress Mitigation by Polyamine-Brassinosteroid Application Involves Phytohormonal and Physiological Strategies in Raphanus sativus L. (115 citations)

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

Renu Bhardwaj mostly deals with Botany, Biochemistry, Antioxidant, Brassica and Food science. Her Botany research integrates issues from Oxidative stress, Abiotic stress and Horticulture. Biochemistry is a component of her Glutathione reductase, Superoxide dismutase, Catalase, Reactive oxygen species and Peroxidase studies.

The various areas that Renu Bhardwaj examines in her Antioxidant study include Proline and Raphanus. Her study in Brassica is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Shoot, Imidacloprid and Enzyme. The concepts of her Food science study are interwoven with issues in Osmoprotectant, Polyphenol and Cadmium.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (24.38%)
  • Biochemistry (21.55%)
  • Antioxidant (15.90%)

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

  • Environmental chemistry (7.42%)
  • Horticulture (12.72%)
  • Agriculture (3.18%)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Environmental chemistry, Horticulture, Agriculture, Malondialdehyde and Food science. Renu Bhardwaj has researched Malondialdehyde in several fields, including Proline, Catalase, DPPH, Mannitol and Shoot. Her work in Catalase addresses issues such as Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, which are connected to fields such as Reactive oxygen species.

Her research in Food science intersects with topics in Glutathione, Cadmium and Osmoprotectant. Renu Bhardwaj interconnects Hormone and Biochemistry in the investigation of issues within Metal. Many of her studies on Biochemistry involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Brassica.

Between 2019 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Photosynthetic Response of Plants Under Different Abiotic Stresses: A Review (58 citations)
  • Assessment of heavy-metal pollution in three different Indian water bodies by combination of multivariate analysis and water pollution indices (39 citations)
  • Pollution assessment and spatial distribution of roadside agricultural soils: a case study from India (20 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Gene

Renu Bhardwaj mainly investigates Pollution, Proline, Catalase, Food science and Environmental chemistry. In the subject of general Proline, her work in Osmoprotectant is often linked to Glyoxalase system, thereby combining diverse domains of study. Her Catalase study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Peroxidase, Lipid peroxidation and Shoot.

Her work carried out in the field of Food science brings together such families of science as Malondialdehyde, Chlorophyll, Chlorophyll fluorescence, Ascorbate glutathione cycle and Glutathione. Her Malondialdehyde study combines topics in areas such as Osmolyte and Cadmium. Biochemistry and Superoxide dismutase are the main topics of her Glutathione reductase study.
