My research interest lies in understanding how plants respond to the environmental stresses, optimize their growth and reproduction in suboptimal conditions. I am keen on developing model systems that can successfully mimic stress conditions encountered by crops in fields and can be used to investigate transcriptomic and epigenomic stress responses in plants.
