Our team is focused on nanointerface interaction between plants and bacteria, with a primary focus of alleviation of plant abiotic and biotic stress. Our cross disciplinary team involves scientists ranging from physics to analytical chemistry and nanotechnology. The ultimate goal is to develop bio-based strategies for the sustainable future. *Deciphering plant–microbe interactions, construction of genome-scale metabolic models of microorganisms and plants. *Extremophilic microorganisms and their biochemical adaptation and biotechnological application. *Mechanisms of plant growth promoting bacteria in reducing crop plant drought and salt stress. *Soil and water remediation. *Decontamination of pollution generated by manmade chemicals in the form of industrial activity, agricultural chemicals or the improper disposal of waste.
