Brief Statement of research work

My research interests focus on plant???environment interactions and economic botany. In plant???environment interactions, I study how plants respond to major abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, heat and ozone. My work emphasizes understanding the physiological and biochemical mechanisms that influence plant growth and productivity under these stresses. I am also interested in the role of biostimulants in improving plant resilience and enhancing crop performance under changing environmental conditions.
