Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Fungus
  • Ecology

His primary areas of study are Botany, Mycorrhiza, Glomus, Agronomy and Shoot. The concepts of his Botany study are interwoven with issues in Microorganism, Symbiosis and Inoculation. His Mycorrhiza research includes elements of Endophyte, Rhizobacteria, Stomatal conductance, Arbuscular mycorrhiza and Mycelium.

His work focuses on many connections between Glomus and other disciplines, such as Lactuca, that overlap with his field of interest in Nutrient. The Agronomy study which covers Rhizobium that intersects with Nitrogen fixation, Phosphate solubilizing bacteria, Medicago and Dry weight. His Shoot research integrates issues from Salinity and Trifolium repens.

His most cited work include:

  • Microbial co-operation in the rhizosphere (785 citations)
  • Mycorrhizosphere interactions to improve plant fitness and soil quality. (333 citations)
  • Interactions between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and other microbial inoculants (Azospirillum, Pseudomonas, Trichoderma) and their effects on microbial population and enzyme activities in the rhizosphere of maize plants. (296 citations)

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

Rosario Azcón mostly deals with Botany, Mycorrhiza, Agronomy, Glomus and Rhizosphere. His Botany study incorporates themes from Microorganism, Symbiosis and Inoculation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Endophyte, Rhizobium and Lactuca, Horticulture, Mycelium.

His Agronomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Arbuscular mycorrhiza, Soil water and Nutrient. Rosario Azcón has included themes like Medicago sativa, Soil contamination and Plant physiology in his Glomus study. His research integrates issues of Mycorrhizosphere, Soil quality, Soil microbiology and Microbial inoculant in his study of Rhizosphere.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (54.21%)
  • Mycorrhiza (43.16%)
  • Agronomy (36.32%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?

  • Botany (54.21%)
  • Agronomy (36.32%)
  • Rhizosphere (27.89%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Agronomy, Rhizosphere, Inoculation and Shoot. His Botany study combines topics in areas such as Microorganism, Symbiosis and Microbial inoculant. His work on Sugar beet as part of general Agronomy study is frequently linked to Amendment, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His Rhizosphere research incorporates elements of Mycorrhizosphere, Soil quality, Soil microbiology and Microbial population biology. His work deals with themes such as Mycorrhiza, Colonization and Human fertilization, which intersect with Inoculation. His Shoot research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Salinity, Anthyllis cytisoides and Compost.

Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Contribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and/or bacteria to enhancing plant drought tolerance under natural soil conditions: Effectiveness of autochthonous or allochthonous strains (125 citations)
  • Differential activity of autochthonous bacteria in controlling drought stress in native Lavandula and Salvia plants species under drought conditions in natural arid soil. (78 citations)
  • Regulation of cation transporter genes by the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis in rice plants subjected to salinity suggests improved salt tolerance due to reduced Na + root-to-shoot distribution (72 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Fungus
  • Ecology

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Drought tolerance, Microorganism, Agronomy and Shoot. His work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as Symbiosis and Rhizobacteria. The Drought tolerance study combines topics in areas such as Bacillus thuringiensis, Microbial inoculant and Stomatal conductance.

His Microorganism study frequently involves adjacent topics like Inoculation. Rosario Azcón combines subjects such as Soil water and Arbuscular mycorrhizal with his study of Agronomy. In his study, Hydric soil, Soil microbiology and Rhizosphere is strongly linked to Bacillus megaterium, which falls under the umbrella field of Sugar beet.
