Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Payal Sanadhya's research focuses on understanding plant-nematode interactions and developing strategies for crop protection. Her work investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying plant resistance to parasitic nematodes, such as the root-knot nematode (*Meloidogyne javanica* and *Meloidogyne incognita*). Sanadhya has examined the role of specific plant genes, including potassium transporter genes and PROPEP genes, in enhancing plant defense responses. She also explores the potential of beneficial microbes, like *Bacillus subtilis*, as biological control agents against plant parasitic nematodes. Her research includes optimizing methods for delivering microbial treatments and understanding their effects on nematode infection in crops like soybean. Sanadhya has published on cloning and characterizing plant genes involved in stress tolerance, such as the high-affinity potassium transporter (AlHKT2;1) from halophytes, contributing to the broader understanding of plant physiology and stress responses.
