Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Manish Gautam's research focuses on the physiological and ecological interactions influencing crop plants, particularly soybean. His work investigates how environmental stressors like drought and herbivory affect plant fitness, defense mechanisms, and transgenerational traits. Gautam also studies insect-plant interactions, examining how plant cues influence herbivore behavior and oviposition, with a specific interest in managing pests such as the soybean looper and fall armyworm. His scholarship extends to understanding crop responses to combined stresses through ecophysiology and omics approaches. Additionally, Gautam has published on health-related topics, including cancer care accessibility in South Asia and disparities in transplant access in Nepal, reflecting a broader interest in public health and equity.
