With extensive experience in plant biotechnology and molecular biology, my research has spanned a diverse array of domains including gene knockout, gene expression analysis, gene overexpression, plant regeneration, cell and organ culture, somatic embryogenesis, protoplast and microspore culture, and the in vitro production of high-value secondary metabolites. I have employed both Agrobacterium-mediated and in-planta transformation techniques to genetically engineer a range of crop species such as Brassica rapa, Withania somnifera, soybean, sugarcane, black gram, cowpea, cucurbits, Podophyllum hexandrum, and Hybanthus enneaspermus.

My research has contributed to significant advancements in plant genetic engineering, including increased crop yield, reduced flowering time, enhanced regeneration and transformation efficiencies, improved transfection outcomes, and elevated accumulation of key metabolites such as withanolides, podophyllotoxin (PTOX), L-Dopa, isoflavones, glucosinolates, and vitamin E.

As of March 2026, my work has garnered a Scopus h-index of 23 with 2,174 citations, and a Google Scholar h-index of 25 with 2,919 citations, reflecting the broader impact of my contributions to plant biotechnology and functional genomics.
