About Me
Oorbessy Gaju (Reshmi) is a wheat physiologist focusing on using high throughput techniques to screen for phenotypic traits to improve wheat yield. Her PhD was on identifying physiological traits affecting ear fertility in wheat (University of Nottingham and CIMMYT). Prior to joining Lincoln, she worked at University of Nottingham and Australian National University (ANU) as a research fellow. She has worked on two BBSRC funded projects at Nottingham specialising on nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). She led the crop physiology research at Australian National University on an IWYP (International Wheat Yield Partnership) multi-disciplinary project (crop physiology, genetics, metabolomics and modelling) on improving yield by optimising energy use efficiency in wheat specialising on respiration and photosynthesis using high throughput techniques.
Research Interests
Nitrogen use efficiency, photosynthesis, high throughput phenotyping, crop breeding
