OverviewAI-generated summary

Vibha Srivastava's research program investigates plant physiology and genetics, with a particular focus on crop improvement. Her work has explored the genetic underpinnings of grain quality in rice, including the role of starch biosynthesis genes and the impact of specific gene mutations on grain chalkiness. Srivastava also studies plant responses to environmental stressors, examining transcriptomic changes in transgenic rice under stress conditions.

Her laboratory utilizes advanced genetic techniques, including CRISPR/Cas9, to target genes involved in key metabolic pathways and developmental processes in plants. This includes work on sucrose non-fermenting related protein kinase 1 (SnRK1) and its role in plant signaling and development, as well as its potential involvement in plant defense mechanisms. Additionally, her group has investigated the development of nanostructured materials for gas sensing applications, specifically focusing on tin oxide (SnO2) nanostructures for hydrogen gas sensors.

Srivastava has published over 120 peer-reviewed articles and has an h-index of 30. She has received federal funding from the National Science Foundation to support conference participation related to rice functional genomics. She collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
