Mearaj A. Shaikh

This researcher studies how plants move sugars and nutrients through their tissues (a process called phloem transport) and how plants respond to stress conditions like water shortage, including work on gene regulation and drought tolerance in model plants such as Arabidopsis and cotton. The work combines molecular biology techniques (studying genes and transporters) with physiological measurements of nutrient and carbon movement within plants. One publication also involves genome sequencing of a marine sea slug, suggesting some work outside plant biology as well.

Publication output has been low and irregular over the last decade, with small numbers of papers in scattered years and gaps in between (e.g., 2018, 2022, 2025), averaging under one publication per year over the last five years.
