This research investigates feronia, a plant protein essential for heat adaptation. By studying how feronia regulates auxin signaling and plant growth under temperature stress, the work aims to uncover mechanisms that could support the development of heat-resilient crops, improving agricultural productivity and food security in a warming global climate.

Corn crops often suffer hidden stress long before visible damage appears. This research develops DNA aptamer-based biosensors that detect early stress signals in maize soil. By providing real-time alerts, the system enables faster intervention, improving crop resilience, farm productivity, and long-term food security.
