About
Presently working as Senior Scientist (Plant Physiology) at Department of Botany and Plant Physiology CCSHAU, Hisar, INDIA. Initiated as Scientist (Plant Physiology)- posted at ICAR- Indian Grassland and Fodder Research Institute, Jhansi, India (ICAR institute) in 2013. Sepecilzation in abiotic stress physiology ; working salinity, heavy metals, high temperature in different crops. During doctorate research I have worked on effect of heavy metal and salinity stress on chickpea and their possible alleviation by nitric oxide, polyamines and ascorbic acid. Received Post Doctoral fellowship from UGC, New Delhi and worked on project entitled "phytoremediation potential of industrial crops under heavy metal contaminated soil" at CCS HAU Hisar, India.
