OverviewAI-generated summary

Prabodh Kumar Bajpai's research focuses on plant population genomics and statistical analysis of genetic datasets, including dominant marker data, microsatellite data, whole-genome sequencing, and Pool-seq data. He has experience conducting fieldwork in diverse climatic conditions, from cold deserts in the Trans-Himalaya to hot deserts in the Jordan Valley. His postdoctoral work at the Volcani Center in Israel involved studying the adaptive evolution of *Eruca sativa* (arugula) by correlating phenotypic and genetic data. He also utilized whole-genome pool-seq data to identify genetic loci associated with adaptation to Mediterranean and desert climates, and investigated the comparative adaptation of two wild radish species using GBS data.

Prior to this, Bajpai's postdoctoral research in India involved work at the National Institute of Plant Genome Research. His published work includes studies on the structure and genetic diversity of *Morus alba* populations in the Trans-Himalayan Ladakh region, the chemical composition and antioxidant capacities of phytococktail extracts from the Trans-Himalayan cold desert, and the population genetic structure and conservation of endangered orchids like *Dactylorhiza hatagirea*. His research also extends to oilseed crops, with publications on the regulation of glucosinolate content in *Brassica juncea* and heterotic patterns of metabolites in the same crop.
