Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Payal Sanadhya's research focuses on understanding plant-nematode interactions and developing strategies to mitigate nematode infections. Her work investigates the molecular mechanisms by which nematodes parasitize plants and how plants respond to these invasions. Sanadhya has explored the role of specific plant genes, such as potassium transporters and peptide elicitors, in conferring resistance to root-knot nematodes like *Meloidogyne javanica* and *Meloidogyne incognita*. She also studies beneficial microbes, including *Bacillus subtilis*, for their potential in controlling nematode populations and enhancing plant defense. Her publications detail the cloning and characterization of plant genes, functional investigations of nematode effector genes, and the application of microbial treatments for soybean and Arabidopsis. Sanadhya has a publication record of 14 papers with 225 citations and an h-index of 9. She has collaborated with Fiona L. Goggin, Kallahan Minor, Joanna Kud, and Jiamei Li at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
