The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Fungus

His primary areas of study are Botany, Mycorrhiza, Spore, Symbiosis and Mycelium. His Botany research includes elements of In vitro and Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. His studies in Mycorrhiza integrate themes in fields like Hydroponics, Plant nutrition, Shoot, Phycomycetes and Priming.

His Spore study combines topics in areas such as Small subunit, Taxonomy and Ultrastructure. Stéphane Declerck has researched Symbiosis in several fields, including Saccharum, Rhizosphere and Microbiology. His study looks at the intersection of Mycelium and topics like Colonization with Arbuscular mycorrhiza and Phylogenetics.

His most cited work include:

  • Arbuscular mycorrhiza on root-organ cultures (233 citations)
  • Monoxenic culture of the intraradical forms of Glomus sp. isolated from a tropical ecosystem: a proposed methodology for germplasm collection (170 citations)
  • In Vitro Culture of Mycorrhizas (127 citations)

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

Stéphane Declerck mainly investigates Botany, Rhizophagus irregularis, Mycelium, Fungus and Hypha. The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Medicago truncatula, Symbiosis and Colonization. His work deals with themes such as Inoculation, Shoot, Horticulture, Microbial inoculant and Mycorrhizal network, which intersect with Rhizophagus irregularis.

Stéphane Declerck interconnects Fungicide and Microbiology in the investigation of issues within Mycelium. The study incorporates disciplines such as Petri dish and Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in addition to Fungus. His Hypha study deals with Gigasporaceae intersecting with Glomeraceae.

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

Stéphane Declerck focuses on Botany, Rhizophagus irregularis, Fungus, Horticulture and Colonization. His research integrates issues of Symbiosis, Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and Rhizophagus in his study of Botany. His Rhizophagus irregularis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Inoculation, Microbial inoculant, Shoot, Hypha and Mycelium.

Stéphane Declerck has included themes like Pencycuron, Gigasporaceae and Glomeromycota in his Mycelium study. The concepts of his Fungus study are interwoven with issues in Pathogen, Mycorrhizal network, Phytoremediation, Mutant and Petri dish. His research in Colonization focuses on subjects like In vitro, which are connected to Range and Conidium.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Rhizosphere microbiomes of potato cultivated in the High Andes show stable and dynamic core microbiomes with different responses to plant development. (97 citations)
  • Signal beyond nutrient, fructose, exuded by an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus triggers phytate mineralization by a phosphate solubilizing bacterium (44 citations)
  • Exploring the use of recombinant inbred lines in combination with beneficial microbial inoculants (AM fungus and PGPR) to improve drought stress tolerance in tomato (40 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Fungus

His main research concerns Rhizophagus irregularis, Botany, Microbial inoculant, Agronomy and Fungus. Stéphane Declerck combines subjects such as Shoot, Horticulture and Hypha with his study of Rhizophagus irregularis. Stéphane Declerck works on Botany which deals in particular with Solanum tuberosum.

His study focuses on the intersection of Microbial inoculant and fields such as Rhizobacteria with connections in the field of Pseudomonas plecoglossicida, Spore, Germ tube, Rootstock and Photosynthetic capacity. His Fungus research incorporates elements of Musa acuminata and Arbuscular mycorrhizal. His Colonization research integrates issues from Symbiosis and Rhizophagus.
