Saadia Bihmidine

Saadia Bihmidine, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Dallas. Her research focuses on plant biology, particularly carbohydrate metabolism, photosynthesis, and stress responses in crops such as maize, soybean, and sorghum. She explores mechanisms governing sucrose transport, cell wall formation, and drought tolerance. Her work integrates molecular genetics, biochemistry, and biotechnology to enhance crop productivity and resilience.

Education information is not provided in the available text. Dr. Bihmidine’s research interests span plant physiology, metabolic regulation, and agricultural biotechnology. Her recent studies investigate sugar partitioning in maize, sucrose transport in sorghum stems, and the role of viral proteins in mitigating drought stress in tobacco.

Her publications highlight trends in understanding plant stress responses, optimizing photosynthetic efficiency, and developing molecular tools for crop improvement. Notable studies include the functional analysis of COBRA proteins in maize and the use of radiotracers to study in vivo sucrose transport. While no scientific awards are listed, her contributions to plant metabolic research are evident through her active publication record.
