Seema Nath is an emerging multidisciplinary plant scientist whose research spans plant physiology, proteomics, lipidomics, food composition, and agricultural biotechnology. Her recent work, including contributions to Plant Physiology, investigates cytosolic- and membrane-localized pathways of oxidized indole-3-acetic acid formation and their regulatory role in developmental auxin transients, advancing understanding of hormone-mediated plant growth processes. She has also explored the structural and biochemical diversity of rubber particle membrane domains through integrated proteomic and targeted lipidomic analyses in guayule, contributing valuable insights into natural rubber biosynthesis. Beyond plant physiology, Seema has examined nutritional and chemical differences between aromatic and non-aromatic rice varieties from Brazil, highlighting how planting time influences bioactive compound profiles important for food quality and health value. Her work in phytopathology further includes investigating the roles of tzs and idi genes of Agrobacterium rhizogenes in adventitious root formation, offering implications for plant–microbe interactions and biotechnology applications. Collectively, Seema Nath’s research reflects strong expertise in molecular plant biology, crop quality assessment, and applied agricultural sciences, with contributions that support advances in sustainable crop production and plant developmental biology.
