Luke Omoarelojie specializes in stress physiology and biochemistry of flowering plants with applications in natural products and biotechnological techniques for managing abiotic stress in plants. His research interests include the use of seaweed biostimulants for stress alleviation in plants, as well as the investigation of bioactive secondary metabolites like phlorotannins and polyamines. He is focused on developing effective seed enhancement technologies to improve seedling survival and promote successful establishment of native species in mined environments. This involves a combination of organic plant biostimulants and seed enhancement techniques such as priming, coating, and pelleting, aimed at addressing the challenges faced in the establishment of native species during post-mining restoration efforts. His ongoing projects include the Australian Seed Scaling Initiative, which aims to enhance seed performance for ecosystem rehabilitation, and the Restoration Engineering Seed Technology Deployment, which seeks to optimize seed distribution and improve the feasibility of large-scale ecological restoration. His work aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, contributing to better education and environmental practices in mining and resource management.
