She had previously worked at Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-iwoye, Ogun State for about three years where she taught at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. I have cultivated a strong interest in Biology, Plant Physiology, Agricultural Sciences, Phytochemistry, and the pedagogical approaches that enhance student learning and understanding. My commitment to both research and education has allowed me to explore the intricate relationships between plants, their environments, and the physiological mechanisms that drive their growth and survival. My research approach is interdisciplinary, integrating molecular biology, physiological analysis, and practical applications in plant Biology. I am particularly interested in plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology, tissue culture of medicinal plants, phytochemistry, in-vivo antimalarial studies, and the effects of climatic and environmental stressors on crop quality. I am engaged in building interpersonal skills and developing students for analytical research through teaching and mentoring.&nbsp; A member of a number of professional bodies and a reviewer in some reputable scientific journal publications<\/p><p><strong style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">Positions, Scientific Appointment and Honours<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Journal of Experimental Agriculture International<\/li>\n<li>Journal of Science Asia Review<\/li>\n<li>Journal of Scientific Research<\/li>\n<li>Nigerian Journal of Scientific Research (AbuSci)<\/li>\n<li>University of Ibadan Journal of Science&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">Selected Most recent publications<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Bankole A.E., <\/strong>Ashidi J.S. and Lawal, O.I (2021<strong>). <\/strong>Morphological response of <em>Telfairia<\/em> <em>occidentalis<\/em> Hook F to salt &#8211; induced stress and foliar nitrogen supply. <em>Egypt.
