Razia is researching Invasive weeds, which are those weeds which were initially introduced into a given location, later became invasive to the local flora/vegetation, thereby threatening native plant genetic diversity. There are many such weeds that have invaded Australian ecosystems and are of great concern due to their tenacity and capacity to spread at alarmingly high rates.
Two such wild cucurbitaceous weeds, prickly paddy melon and camel melon, are being considered for present research. Their biology, ecology and genetic diversity are being studied.
DNA sequence analysis is being employed to evaluate their genetic diversity, if any, and to measure the extent of any such diversity among the different plant populations collected from different locations.
