OverviewAI-generated summary
Gehendra Bhattarai's research focuses on plant genetics and genomics, particularly in vegetable crops like spinach and cowpea. His work involves utilizing advanced molecular techniques, including genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and the discovery of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, to understand genetic variation and identify genes associated with important agronomic traits. Bhattarai has investigated the genetic architecture of traits such as salt tolerance in cowpea and seed protein content. In spinach, his research has explored resistance to diseases like white rust and downy mildew, as well as identifying quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for field resistance. He has published extensively in this field, with a notable h-index of 17 and over 900 citations. Bhattarai has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Ainong Shi and Haizheng Xiong, on multiple publications.
