She has made outstanding contribution in the area of Epigenetic/genetics/ genomics of regulation of stress resistance/terpenoid biosynthetic pathway expression in Artemissia annua, Catharanthus roseus, Withania coagulans. Her pioneering efforts advanced the work aimed at construction of lines that hyper-express and accumulate bioactive compounds in C. roseus and A annua. She has used comparative genomics approaches to clone the developmental genes for leaf and inflorescence architectures in C. r
