JIGAR A. SUTARIYA

About

I’m a doctoral student at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev at sde-boker in Israel, where I specialize in agriculture and biotechnology for dryland ecosystem. Under the guidance of Dr. Gilad Gabay, my research focuses on understanding how phytohormones shape root architecture in wheat under drought conditions. My work also explores genetic mutation in key phytohormone-responsive genes to develop stress resilience wheat varieties.
My research is supported by the STEM Graduate Research Fellowship. I am deeply passionate about genetics, plant breeding and crop improvement as pathways to addressing the global challenge of food security. Through innovative approaches, I aim to contribute to the development of sustainable solution for feeding a growing world population in the face of climate change and resource limitations.
