Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Bacteria

His main research concerns Rhizobium, Rhizobiaceae, Rhizobia, Microbiology and Nod factor. His Rhizobium study is focused on Gene in general. His Rhizobiaceae research incorporates elements of Macroptilium and Bradyrhizobium.

His Rhizobia study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Agronomy, Genetic exchange, Rhizosphere, Animal science and Microbial inoculant. His Microbiology research incorporates themes from Secretory protein, Cell biology, Ecosystem and Chitinase. William J. Broughton focuses mostly in the field of Symbiosis, narrowing it down to topics relating to Nitrogen fixation and, in certain cases, Fabaceae and Functional genomics.

His most cited work include:

  • Beans (Phaseolus spp.) - model food legumes (897 citations)
  • Molecular Basis of Symbiotic Promiscuity (765 citations)
  • Molecular basis of symbiosis between Rhizobium and legumes (694 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Rhizobium, Rhizobiaceae, Gene, Rhizobia and Genetics. His research integrates issues of Botany, Symbiosis, Mutant and Microbiology in his study of Rhizobium. His Botany research includes themes of Nitrogen fixation, Bradyrhizobium, Bradyrhizobium japonicum and Root hair.

His work carried out in the field of Microbiology brings together such families of science as Macroptilium atropurpureum and Bacteria. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Secretion under Rhizobiaceae, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Effector. As a member of one scientific family, William J. Broughton mostly works in the field of Rhizobia, focusing on Vigna and, on occasion, Psophocarpus.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Rhizobium (54.79%)
  • Rhizobiaceae (32.88%)
  • Gene (32.19%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2019)?

  • Microbiology (25.34%)
  • Botany (29.45%)
  • Rhizobium (54.79%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Microbiology, Botany, Rhizobium, Gene and Genetics. The concepts of his Microbiology study are interwoven with issues in Phototroph, Microorganism, Bacteria, Rhizobia and Mutant. His Rhizobia study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Secretion, Secretory protein, Lotus japonicus and Rhizobiaceae.

In general Botany study, his work on Fungus often relates to the realm of Eurotiomycetes, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His Rhizobium study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Symbiosis. His research in Gene intersects with topics in Endophyte and Herbaspirillum.

Between 2007 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Symbiotic use of pathogenic strategies: rhizobial protein secretion systems. (228 citations)
  • Microbiology of the atmosphere-rock interface: how biological interactions and physical stresses modulate a sophisticated microbial ecosystem. (138 citations)
  • Rhizobium sp. strain NGR234 possesses a remarkable number of secretion systems. (136 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Bacteria

William J. Broughton mainly investigates Microbiology, Rhizobium, Rhizobia, Genetics and Ecology. The Microbiology study combines topics in areas such as Phototroph, Desiccation, Ecosystem and Microorganism. His Rhizobium research is under the purview of Gene.

William J. Broughton has researched Rhizobia in several fields, including Secretion, Secretory protein and Rhizobiaceae. His studies deal with areas such as Amplified fragment length polymorphism and Genetic diversity as well as Genetics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Oxalobacteraceae, Microbial ecology and Glomeromycota.
