Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Botany
  • Ecology

Veronica Massena Reis focuses on Diazotroph, Nitrogen fixation, Botany, Endophyte and Agronomy. Specifically, her work in Diazotroph is concerned with the study of Herbaspirillum. Her Nitrogen fixation study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Inoculation.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Rhizosphere, Burkholderia, Bacteria, Burkholderia phymatum and Paraburkholderia. Her biological study deals with issues like Saccharum officinarum, which deal with fields such as Acetobacter and Acetobacteraceae. Her research in Agronomy intersects with topics in Biomass, Biofuel and Bioenergy.

Her most cited work include:

  • Biological nitrogen fixation associated with sugar cane and rice: Contributions and prospects for improvement (300 citations)
  • Infection of sugar cane by the nitrogen-fixing bacterium Acetobacter diazotrophicus (259 citations)
  • Endophytic nitrogen fixation in sugarcane: present knowledge and future applications (231 citations)

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

Diazotroph, Nitrogen fixation, Botany, Bacteria and Horticulture are her primary areas of study. Her Diazotroph research includes elements of Inoculation, Microbial inoculant and Agronomy. Her Nitrogen fixation research incorporates elements of Endophyte, Plant physiology, Poaceae and Saccharum officinarum.

The various areas that Veronica Massena Reis examines in her Botany study include 16S ribosomal RNA, Most probable number, Burkholderia, Rhizosphere and Acetobacteraceae. Her research integrates issues of Isolation, Colonization, Microbiology and Auxin in her study of Bacteria. Her work on Shoot, Cultivar, Seedling and Sprouting as part of general Horticulture study is frequently linked to Physics, bridging the gap between disciplines.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Diazotroph (49.19%)
  • Nitrogen fixation (46.77%)
  • Botany (40.32%)

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

  • Diazotroph (49.19%)
  • Inoculation (25.81%)
  • Horticulture (29.84%)

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

Veronica Massena Reis mainly investigates Diazotroph, Inoculation, Horticulture, Microbial inoculant and Agronomy. Her Diazotroph research is included under the broader classification of Bacteria. Her study looks at the relationship between Inoculation and topics such as Herbaspirillum seropedicae, which overlap with Azospirillum brasilense, Crop, Glycerol and Bioreactor.

Her study ties her expertise on Nitrogen fixation together with the subject of Horticulture. The Nitrogen fixation study combines topics in areas such as Irrigation water, Cane and Seedling. Her Microbial inoculant study also includes fields such as

  • Rhizobacteria, Fertilizer and Poaceae most often made with reference to Plant physiology,
  • Crop yield that intertwine with fields like Human fertilization.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Impact of plant growth-promoting bacteria on grain yield, protein content, and urea-15 N recovery by maize in a Cerrado Oxisol (27 citations)
  • Rooting and growth of pre-germinated sugarcane seedlings inoculated with diazotrophic bacteria (7 citations)
  • Inoculation with five diazotrophs alters nitrogen metabolism during the initial growth of sugarcane varieties with contrasting responses to added nitrogen (5 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Botany
  • Ecology

Her primary scientific interests are in Inoculation, Microbial inoculant, Shoot, Horticulture and Herbaspirillum seropedicae. Her work carried out in the field of Inoculation brings together such families of science as Fertilizer, Agronomy, Soil water, Rhizobacteria and Plant physiology. Veronica Massena Reis has researched Microbial inoculant in several fields, including Botany, Phylogenetic tree, Genome, DNA and Phylogenetics.

She combines subjects such as Germination, Diazotroph, Nitrogen cycle, Nitrate reductase and Seedling with her study of Shoot. Her Horticulture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Nitrogen fixation and Herbaspirillum rubrisubalbicans. Her Herbaspirillum seropedicae study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Biomass, Food science, Bioreactor and Yeast extract.
