Research interests
Anusree has joined NIAB in 2023 as a postdoctoral research associate. She is working in the group of Dr. Stephanie Swarbreck to understand the regulation of nitrogen responsiveness in wheat. She will focus on determining the role of strigolactone in wheat nitrogen responsiveness and its downregulation, therefore leading to selecting and developing wheat varieties with lower nitrogen requirement which is critical for the development of sustainable crop production system. During her PhD, she worked extensively to understand the role of ribosomal protein genes in abiotic and biotic stress tolerance in rice.
