Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Agriculture
  • Ecology

Zed Rengel mainly investigates Agronomy, Shoot, Rhizosphere, Botany and Nutrient. The various areas that Zed Rengel examines in his Agronomy study include Soil water, Zinc, Phosphorus and Plant nutrition. The concepts of his Shoot study are interwoven with issues in Chlorophyll, Poaceae and Xylem.

His Rhizosphere study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Soil classification, Alkali soil, Pollutant and Lolium perenne. His work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as Micronutrient deficiency, Salinity, Cluster root and Genotype. His study in Nutrient is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biomass and Nitrate.

His most cited work include:

  • Zinc in Soils and Crop Nutrition (545 citations)
  • The role of calcium in salt toxicity (480 citations)
  • Improved tolerance of maize plants to salt stress by arbuscular mycorrhiza is related to higher accumulation of soluble sugars in roots. (333 citations)

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

Zed Rengel spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Shoot, Nutrient, Botany and Horticulture. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Plant nutrition, Soil water, Soil pH, Phosphorus and Rhizosphere. His study looks at the relationship between Shoot and fields such as Root system, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His work on Crop expands to the thematically related Nutrient. Lupinus is the focus of his Botany research. His Horticulture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Photosynthesis, Superoxide dismutase and Cadmium.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (47.65%)
  • Shoot (25.19%)
  • Nutrient (22.22%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Agronomy (47.65%)
  • Rhizosphere (16.30%)
  • Horticulture (19.75%)

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

Zed Rengel mainly investigates Agronomy, Rhizosphere, Horticulture, Nutrient and Shoot. His Agronomy study frequently links to other fields, such as Phosphorus. His Rhizosphere study incorporates themes from Perennial plant and Soil water.

His Horticulture research incorporates themes from Organic acid, Organic matter and Microbial population biology. His Nutrient research includes elements of Fertilizer, Human fertilization, Irrigation and Soil horizon. His Shoot research integrates issues from Photosynthesis and Animal science.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Acquiring control: The evolution of ROS-Induced oxidative stress and redox signaling pathways in plant stress responses. (73 citations)
  • Toxicity of cadmium and its competition with mineral nutrients for uptake by plants: A review (45 citations)
  • Cadmium stress increases antioxidant enzyme activities and decreases endogenous hormone concentrations more in Cd-tolerant than Cd-sensitive wheat varieties. (43 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Agriculture
  • Gene

Zed Rengel focuses on Cadmium, Agronomy, Nutrient, Sowing and Phosphorus. His Cadmium research incorporates elements of Antioxidant, Chromosomal translocation, Zinc, Arsenic and Environmental chemistry. In his research on the topic of Zinc, Shoot is strongly related with Plant cell.

Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Rhizosphere and Agronomy. His Nutrient study combines topics in areas such as Vicia faba, Foraging and Root foraging. His Sowing research includes themes of CADMIUM EXPOSURE, Soil pH, Grain yield, Biofortification and Soil salinity.
