Research summary

Pragya Barua studies how plants, especially chickpea and rice, respond to water stress (dehydration) at the molecular level, using proteomics (large-scale study of proteins) to examine cell parts like chloroplasts, mitochondria, and the cytoskeleton. The work also touches on plant immune responses and interactions with disease-causing bacteria. This research aims to understand the biological mechanisms plants use to cope with drought and pathogens, which could inform future crop improvement efforts.
