Dr.Srivignesh's research has significantly contributed to a better understanding of the field, such as mapping the abscission pathway in tomatoes, developing a customized microarray for abscission research, identifying the alkalization pattern of cells associated with abscission, and developing new transgenic lines with less abscission in tomato. Postdoctoral research centered on the development of a multi-layered electrospun nanofiber encapsulated with 1-MCP and Hexanal to extend the shelf life of bananas. We are currently concentrating on producing a Nano matrix for solanaceous vegetable grafting and creating transgenic lines by CRISPR Cas 9 for genotypes in tomatoes with lower abscission rates. In addition, work is being done on various nanomaterials to improve the productivity of vegetables.

He has published 28 research articles in international journals, 38 national and international Abstracts in various conferences, 5 books, 13 book chapter and 26 popular articles. He has obtained three research projects from DST-SERB, DST-CRG, UGC.
