Research interests
Research on the mechanisms by which plants respond to biotic and abiotic stresses, and seeks solutions to help plants better cope with stresses. The response of plants to stresses has been investigated at different levels, from morphological, biocemical and molecular levels to have a systemic understanding about it.
