Lead projects involving evaluation of abiotic stress – drought, salt,
cold, and heat, high CO2 –tolerance, and yield potential of Arabidopsis, cotton, sorghum, soybean, common bean, and corn in greenhouse and field conditions.
The primary goal is to develop stress resilient sorghum and cotton by the use of signaling molecules and genetic engineering.

Roles and regulation of hormones and their crosstalk in plant responses to abiotic stresses.

Arifur Khan

mdarkhan@ttu.edu

The elucidation of morpho-physiological and biochemical responses of crops, namely soybean, cotton, rice, and sorghum, under variable environmental conditions, including water shortage and waterlogging.
Stress mitigation in crops by employing agronomic practices advanced line development through hybridization, and nutrient management to
address climate change-associated crop yield reduction.
