Research summary
AI-generated

Rajdeep S. Khangura studies plant genetics, focusing on maize, wheat, and sorghum. His work combines molecular genetics techniques (like mutagenesis and gene mapping) with genome-wide association studies to understand traits such as disease resistance, chlorophyll production, plant senescence (aging), and growth regulation. This research aims to identify specific genes and genetic variations that could help improve crop traits like disease resistance and yield.
