Welcome to my Website
I am Jyoti Kakati, a plant biotechnologist at Clemson University developing biotechnology-based solutions for climate-resilient, disease-resistant, and sustainable crops.
My work combines plant transformation, CRISPR/Cas genome editing, stress physiology, metabolomics, and RNA-based crop protection to address major challenges in agriculture, including environmental stress, plant disease, and pest pressure.
I aim to translate molecular and biotechnology research into practical tools that support global food security, sustainable crop production, and resilient agricultural systems.
I welcome collaborations focused on translating plant biotechnology and molecular research into practical solutions for climate-resilient, disease-resistant, and sustainable crop production.
