Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Fungus
  • Bacteria

Botany, Mycorrhiza, Symbiosis, Spore and Arbuscular mycorrhiza are his primary areas of study. His Botany research incorporates elements of Axenic and Phycomycetes. The concepts of his Mycorrhiza study are interwoven with issues in Rhizophagus irregularis, Staining technique, Staining, Fungal Structures and Rhizosphere.

His work in Symbiosis tackles topics such as Spore germination which are related to areas like Plant Physiological Phenomena, Arbuscular mycorrhizal, Medicago sativa and Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. His Arbuscular mycorrhiza research includes elements of Leguminoseae, Plant nutrition, Colonization, Host plants and Jasmonic acid. His Hypha study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Germination and Fungus.

His most cited work include:

  • Ink and Vinegar, a Simple Staining Technique for Arbuscular-Mycorrhizal Fungi (1009 citations)
  • Arbuscular mycorrhiza on root-organ cultures (233 citations)
  • Fungal Growth Stimulation by CO2 and Root Exudates in Vesicular-Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis (229 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Mycorrhiza, Symbiosis, Hypha and Glomus. His research integrates issues of Arbuscular mycorrhiza and Inoculation, Phycomycetes in his study of Botany. Yves Piché works mostly in the field of Mycorrhiza, limiting it down to topics relating to Staining and, in certain cases, Fungal Structures, In vivo and Biophysics, as a part of the same area of interest.

His Symbiosis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Spore germination, Pisum, Poaceae and Chitinase. Yves Piché combines subjects such as Ectomycorrhizae and Spore with his study of Hypha. He has included themes like Glomeromycota, Shoot, Root system and Hordeum vulgare in his Glomus study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (91.26%)
  • Mycorrhiza (39.81%)
  • Symbiosis (31.07%)

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

  • Botany (91.26%)
  • Hypha (31.07%)
  • Symbiosis (31.07%)

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

His main research concerns Botany, Hypha, Symbiosis, Gene and Microbiology. His study in Mycelium and Fungus falls within the category of Botany. His studies deal with areas such as Glomus intraradices, Hyphal growth and Root system as well as Mycelium.

His studies link Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi with Hypha. He has researched Symbiosis in several fields, including Water stress, Mycorrhizal fungi and Ascomycota. His Gene research integrates issues from Glomus and Glomeromycota.

Between 2007 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Conspecificity of DAOM 197198, the model arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus, with Glomus irregulare: molecular evidence with three protein-encoding genes. (45 citations)
  • Trapping of phosphate solubilizing bacteria on hyphae of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Rhizophagus irregularis DAOM 197198 (44 citations)
  • Field performance of conifer and hardwood species 5 years after nursery inoculation in the Canadian Prairie Provinces (35 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Fungus
  • Bacteria

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Hypha, Fungus, Phosphorite and Genetic analysis. His Botany study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Laccaria bicolor, Horticulture and Black spruce. His Hypha research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Rhizobium, Burkholderia and Biofilm.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Rhizophagus irregularis, Mycorrhizosphere, Rhizobacteria, Phosphate solubilizing bacteria and Bacteria in addition to Fungus. Among his Phosphorite studies, you can observe a synthesis of other disciplines of science such as Burkholderia anthina and Gluconic acid. His Genetic analysis study incorporates themes from Glomus, Ribosomal RNA and DNA sequencing.
