Research Interests
High-temperature stress (HTS) has been recognized as a significant threat to agriculture, posing a serious challenge to global food security. The increasing earth’s surface temperature at an unprecedented rate is an alarming signal for meeting current and future global challenges. HTS mediated negative changes not only affect the health and economic condition of the Indian population but also influence global food security and create an imbalance in the carbon cycle. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the high-temperature mediated alterations in the developmental processes.
