Biography
A professor with keen intrest in the research of metabolism in plants and the regulations regarding that, highly experienced, Contributed in the plant science field,is a professor, faculty and researcher with many on going researches .
Research Interest
Carbohydrates are the major respiratory substrate in most plants, providing both the energy and metabolic precursors for growth. We are interested in understanding how the pathways of carbohydrate synthesis and degradation are regulated to meet the requirements of the plant in response to changing environmental and developmental demands. Our work focuses on integration of plastidic and cytosolic metabolism in both photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic tissues.
