Happy to share that today my 12th student @Deepshi12795236 Deepshikha Tyagi submitted her thesis! @unescorcb
She worked on functional assessment of HRZ gens in hexaploid wheat using genome editing! @NABI_India @DBTIndia Link of her contribution is 👇 https://t.co/aGY71OswnX

@Ella_Maru @wheat_biology Thank you so much 😊☺️

[Riya Joon, PhD @RIYA_JOON]

Thrilled: 😊I successfully defended my PhD today! Grateful to my supervisor @wheat_biology for his constant support . My research uncovered the role of wheat ferroxidase in Fe homeostasis opening avenues for cereal biofortification.
Excited to explore postdoc opportunities ahead!
