Rakesh K. Upadhyay

This researcher studies plant biology topics such as fruit ripening, stress responses, hormone signaling (like ethylene and abscisic acid), and polyamine metabolism in crops including tomato, strawberry, and duckweed. Recent work also extends into genomics and phenotyping of cacao, and into unrelated areas such as engine fuel performance and South Asian population history/studies, suggesting a broad or possibly shared publication record across multiple research groups. Prospective students interested in plant molecular biology, gene expression during fruit development, or stress physiology would find the core body of work most relevant.

Publication output has been fairly steady but modest over the last decade, with small fluctuations (peaking at 5 in 2021) and averaging under 2 papers per year in the most recent 5-year period.
