Roopali Bhoite

Roopali Bhoite is an Adjunct Lecturer at the Institute of Agriculture, The University of Western Australia. Her research focuses on plant genetics, crop improvement, and genomics, particularly in enhancing stress resilience in crops like wheat. She contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to sustainable agriculture and food security. Key areas include genomic approaches to soil constraint adaptation, herbicide tolerance, and biotic/abiotic stress resistance. Her work spans transcriptomics, QTL mapping, and marker-assisted breeding.

Notable projects include a Yitpi Foundation-funded study on herbicide resistance genes in wheat (2018–2019). Collaborations involve global researchers and institutions. Recent publications address stress resilience, mycotoxin degradation, and sodicity tolerance in crops. Bhoite’s research integrates advanced genomic technologies with field applications to address climate-related agricultural challenges.

Her expertise includes allele identification, gene expression profiling, and transcriptome analysis. She has published extensively on topics like photosynthetic efficiency under stress and ozone-based solutions for food safety. Current efforts prioritize climate-smart agriculture and sustainable crop improvement strategies.
