Dr. Mariya Khodakovskaya is a Professor of Plant Biology at the Donaghey College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics at the University of Arkansas, Little Rock where she also serves as the Director of Applied Science Graduate Program. She has been a principal investigator or co-principal investigator on research grants supported by USDA-NIFA, NSF-EPSCoR, Arkansas Science and Technology Authority (ASTA), Arkansas Soybean Promotion Board, and the Arkansas Space Consortium.

Laboratory of Dr. Khodakovskaya is working on the development of innovative approaches for the enhancement of plant productivity and plant tolerance to environmental stress using advanced methods of genetic engineering, molecular biology, and nanotechnology.  An important part of work of team is understanding the molecular mechanisms of tolerance of crops to environmental stresses using “omics” approach.

Role in the project

• Role: “Omics” data generation from developing rice grain and leaf tissues under HNT.
• Activities: Analysis of total metabolome and proteome of representative HNT- tolerant and sensitive rice genotypes and identification the biological mechanisms associated with rice tolerance to HNT.
