OverviewAI-generated summary
Vibha Srivastava's research focuses on plant molecular genetics and transformation, with a significant emphasis on developing efficient methods for genetic modification in important crop species, particularly wheat and rice. Her work has explored techniques such as direct gene bombardment and the use of site-specific integration systems to achieve stable transgene expression and heritable mutations. Srivastava has investigated the integration patterns of transgenes and the molecular characterization of their fate within the plant genome.
Her publications include early work on rapid production of transgenic wheat plants and the integration and expression of specific genes. More recent research has involved the application of advanced technologies like CRISPR/Cas9 for generating heritable mutations in rice and employing Cre-mediated site-specific gene integration for consistent transgene expression. Srivastava also investigates the physiological and molecular basis of herbicide resistance in plant species.
Srivastava holds a h-index of 30 with over 2,900 citations across her 116 publications. She has served as PI on a National Science Foundation grant for a conference focused on broadening participation in rice functional genomics. Her collaborators include researchers from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
