Dr. Masood is presently working on stress physiology of plants and its regulation through internal factors including phytohormones and nutrients. His main area of research is to analyze the stress induced responses in plants to heavy metal accumulation and toxicity, mineral nutrient availability in the soil and also the role of phytohormones in regulating the nutrient status of the cell and their synergistic effect in alleviating heavy metal toxicity. His main findings have been reported in Plant, Cell & Environment, Journal of Experimental Botany, Environmental and Experimental Botany, Photosynthetica, Plant Signalling and Behaviour, Journal of Plant Physiology and others.
