Research interests
Our research goal is to understand plant-microbe interactions to enhance plant health, developing sustainable strategies to improve crop yields, and finding solutions to important agriculture problems. Our research lab's primary research area is to understand the dynamics of the soil-borne fungal pathogens, such as Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, its virulence, and the resistance/susceptibility mechanism of different host plants using omics, genetics, biochemical and molecular biology approaches.
Expertise related to UN Sustainable Development Goals
In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. This person’s work contributes towards the following SDG(s):
