Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Rafia Kiran"
- Rafia Kiran's research primarily focuses on plant pathology, specifically investigating the mechanisms and management of fungicide resistance in Phytophthora species that significantly affect agriculture worldwide.
- In her recent article on fungicide resistance, she examines the various mechanisms behind resistance mutations, including target-site mutations and efflux pump overexpression, highlighting the need for sustainable management approaches beyond conventional chemical methods.
- Another significant study by Kiran explores the genetic diversity of AG-3 anastomosis groups in potato crops, revealing insights on the morphological characteristics of isolates collected from different regions, which contributes to understanding crop resilience against diseases.*
