Victoria Jennifer Crasta

Conducted a detailed investigation into gene expression regulation in rice (Oryza sativa) under cadmium (Cd) stress, with a focus on analyzing SOD, CAT, APX, and BTUB1 expression in the IR5 rice variety.
Aimed to compare gene expression levels under normal and metal stress conditions.
Utilized a comprehensive suite of techniques, including RNA isolation, gel electrophoresis, SDS-PAGE, reverse transcription, and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR), coupled with rigorous statistical analysis of gene expression levels. Demonstrated proficiency in laboratory skills.
