2 My research interests are in understanding the gene regulation mechanisms in plants subjected to stressful environments. Our lab utilizes a combination of genomics and genetics approaches to decipher gene regulation at transcriptional, posttranscriptional, translational and post-translational levels. Of particular interest is discovery of novel stress regulated small RNAs from crop plants. Other projects in lab include biotechnological approaches to improve stress tolerance in crop plants and using reporter mutagenesis screens to isolate and implicate components in abiotic stress signaling pathways.
