Research summary

Surinder Chopra studies the genetics and biochemistry of maize and sorghum, with a particular focus on flavonoid compounds (natural plant pigments and defense chemicals). This work spans how these compounds affect plant defense against insect pests and fungal disease, gene regulation during seed development, and the potential health and agricultural benefits of high-flavonoid crop varieties, including effects on animal gut microbiota and poultry disease control.
