My research interests include investigating tryptophan dependent pathways of auxin biosynthesis in plants in particular role of aldehyde oxidase, nitrilase, and amidase. I am also focusing on the importance of IAA on various aspects of grain development in crop plants including rice, wheat, barley and sorghum
