Aneeta Pradhan

Aneeta Pradhan serves as a Research Officer and Research Coordinator at the Institute of Agriculture within the School of Biological Sciences at The University of Western Australia. Her work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to sustainable agriculture and food security. With an h-index of 12 and 401 citations, she maintains an active research profile focused on molecular approaches to crop improvement.

Dr. Pradhan's research interests center on plant genetics with particular expertise in Brassica species and lupins. Her work spans genotyping techniques, DNA sequencing methodologies, and marker-assisted breeding strategies. She investigates flowering time regulation, disease resistance mechanisms, and polyploidization in crop plants, aiming to develop genomic tools for improved crop resilience and productivity in changing climatic conditions.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong emphasis on Brassica genetics and lupin improvement through advanced genomic techniques. Her research integrates genome-wide association studies, restriction site-associated DNA sequencing, and molecular marker development to address challenges in crop breeding and disease resistance. This work demonstrates consistent methodological innovation in applying genomics to practical agricultural problems.

Dr. Pradhan served as Investigator 05 on the project 'Unleashing the Power of Genomics for Lupin Marker Development & Crop Improvement' funded by the Grains Research & Development Corporation from 2011 to 2015. This project represents significant grant support for her research in lupin genomics and marker development.

Her research fingerprint shows active contributions to Brassica genetics (100%), seed science (51%), Bituminaria bituminosa research (49%), genotyping methodologies (46%), perennial plant studies (45%), gene mapping (40%), and restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (36%). These interconnected research areas demonstrate a cohesive program focused on applying genomic tools to crop improvement challenges.
