OverviewAI-generated summary

Awais Riaz's research focuses on plant genetics and genomics, particularly in crops like soybean, wheat, and rice. His work investigates the genetic basis of important traits such as drought tolerance, disease resistance, and yield improvement. Riaz has explored the diversity and functional roles of gene families, including peroxidase and MADS-box genes, and has utilized genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and genomic prediction to identify markers associated with desirable traits in common bean and soybean. His recent publications also address the impact of environmental stressors, such as high night temperatures and drought, on rice physiology and germination. Riaz collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Kenani Chiwina, Julie A. Thomas, Theresa Makawa Phiri, and Derek J. Dean.
