OverviewAI-generated summary
Mariya V. Khodakovskaya's research focuses on the interaction of carbon nanotubes with plants, investigating their uptake, biological effects, and potential applications. Her work examines how these nanoparticles can influence seed germination, plant growth, and reproductive development in various crop species, including tomatoes and tobacco. Khodakovskaya has explored the impact of carbon nanotube surface chemistry on plant physiology, specifically in relation to water channel proteins and gene expression in tomato plants.
Her research also extends to understanding the complex genetic and photothermal interactions that occur when nanoparticles interact with plants. Khodakovskaya has studied the effects of carbon nanohorns on plant uptake and biological responses, as well as the potential of carbon nanotubes to act as plant growth regulators. Her work has been recognized with a designation as an ARA Fellow and she is identified as a high-impact researcher based on her citation metrics, which include an h-index of 32 and over 6,600 citations across 72 publications. She actively collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
