ALT A cytokinin-auxin antagonistic module participates in nitrogen-triggered tiller outgrowth in rice

ALT “My passion for plant science emerged from my academic experiences in biotechnology. During my six-month dissertation, I investigated the anti-quorum sensing and anti-biofilm properties of essential oils and bioactive molecules on Pectobacterium carotovorum. Further, I was curious to know about the plant responses to external stimuli at the molecular level. Consequently, I decided to pursue further research in plant science at the National Institute of Plant Genome Research (NIPGR) in New Delhi, India, under the mentorship of Dr. Amar Pal Singh. At NIPGR, I explored the plant response to NH₄⁺ stress using Arabidopsis as a model system. This opportunity allowed me to develop my research skills and deepen my understanding of plant molecular biology, strengthening my dedication to leveraging plant science to tackle significant agricultural and environmental challenges.”
