Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Ecology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Mycorrhiza, Shoot, Horticulture and Glomus. S. E. Smith performs multidisciplinary study on Botany and Trifolium subterraneum in his works. He works mostly in the field of Mycorrhiza, limiting it down to concerns involving Ecology and, occasionally, Membrane bound, Arbuscular mycorrhiza and Morphology.

In his work, Human fertilization, Root length and Enzyme assay is strongly intertwined with Phosphate, which is a subfield of Shoot. Within one scientific family, S. E. Smith focuses on topics pertaining to Poaceae under Horticulture, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Cultivar, Oryza sativa and Chromosomal translocation. S. E. Smith interconnects Phytotoxicity and Lolium perenne in the investigation of issues within Glomus.

His most cited work include:

  • Do phosphorus nutrition and iron plaque alter arsenate (As) uptake by rice seedlings in hydroponic culture (248 citations)
  • Spatial differences in acquisition of soil phosphate between two arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in symbiosis with Medicago truncatula (241 citations)
  • Do iron plaque and genotypes affect arsenate uptake and translocation by rice seedlings (Oryza sativa L.) grown in solution culture (227 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Mycorrhiza, Botany, Agronomy, Trifolium subterraneum and Glomus. His Mycorrhiza research includes themes of Colonisation, Plant physiology, Shoot, Phycomycetes and Mycelium. His Shoot research incorporates elements of Enzyme assay and Poaceae.

His Botany research integrates issues from Colonization, Phosphate and Horticulture. His study in Agronomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soil water, Nutrient, Plant nutrition and Animal science. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Fungicide and Ribosomal DNA.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mycorrhiza (61.86%)
  • Botany (55.67%)
  • Agronomy (32.99%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2014)?

  • Botany (55.67%)
  • Mycorrhiza (61.86%)
  • Agronomy (32.99%)

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

His main research concerns Botany, Mycorrhiza, Agronomy, Glomus and Poaceae. His studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like Colonisation, Colonization, Phycomycetes and Horticulture. He works mostly in the field of Horticulture, limiting it down to topics relating to Oryza sativa and, in certain cases, Genotype.

His Mycorrhiza study incorporates themes from Arbuscular mycorrhiza, Soil biology and Lycopersicon. His Agronomy research incorporates themes from Soil water and Animal science. S. E. Smith has researched Poaceae in several fields, including Cultivar, Plant nutrition and Shoot.

Between 2003 and 2014, his most popular works were:

  • Do phosphorus nutrition and iron plaque alter arsenate (As) uptake by rice seedlings in hydroponic culture (248 citations)
  • Do iron plaque and genotypes affect arsenate uptake and translocation by rice seedlings (Oryza sativa L.) grown in solution culture (227 citations)
  • Effects of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae on growth and metal uptake by four plant species in copper mine tailings. (123 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Ecology

S. E. Smith mostly deals with Botany, Mycorrhiza, Poaceae, Oryza sativa and Shoot. His Mycorrhiza study combines topics in areas such as Glomus and Ecology, Ecology. His work carried out in the field of Glomus brings together such families of science as Soil water, Phycomycetes, Mycelium and Hypha.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Genotype, Cultivar, Horticulture and Chromosomal translocation in addition to Poaceae.
