Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Nirman Nepal's research centers on plant biology, with a particular focus on understanding genetic resources and plant stress responses. His work contributes to the development of resources for genebanks, as demonstrated by his publication on phenotypic and genotypic resources for USDA quinoa accessions. Nepal also investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying plant adaptation to environmental stressors, such as light stress, and has explored the role of enzymes in vital metabolic pathways like ascorbate biosynthesis. He has contributed to studies on vitamin C deficiency in plants and the potential for genetic rescue. His research network includes collaborators from Arkansas State University, including Argelia Lorence, Austin Wilkie, Karina Medina‐Jiménez, and G. Wilson. Nepal's scholarly contributions are reflected in his h-index of 4 and eight total publications.
