Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Emmanuel C. Chukwuma's research focuses on the taxonomy and ecological interactions of plant and fungal species. His work includes investigating symbiotic relationships, such as that between wheat root symbionts and fungi, and the role of siderophores in iron chelation. Chukwuma has explored the distribution of economically important tree species and the potential of fungal pathogens as biological control agents. He also contributes to plant taxonomy through numerical approaches and emphasizes the importance of herbaria in biodiversity science. His research has led to 54 publications and 446 citations, with an h-index of 11. He has collaborated with Omokafe Ugbogu on 11 shared publications and Oyetola O. Oyebanji on one shared publication.
