Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Ibtisam Alatawi's research focuses on the genetic underpinnings of crop resilience and quality, particularly in cowpea and tomato varieties. Her work utilizes genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to identify genetic regions associated with traits such as salt tolerance, seed protein content, seed coat patterns, and resistance to Fusarium wilt and bacterial wilt. She has investigated salt tolerance in cowpea seedlings and drought tolerance in tomato germplasm, contributing to the development of more robust agricultural crops.

Alatawi's research network includes extensive collaboration with colleagues at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Haizheng Xiong, Kenani Chiwina, Gehendra Bhattarai, and Ainong Shi, with whom she has co-authored numerous publications. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 7, with 19 total publications and 106 citations. Her recent work, published in 2024 and 2023, continues to explore the genetic architecture of important plant traits.
