My research focus is on to study the mechanism of salinity tolerance in agricultural crop and True halophytes (Thellungiella halophila and indigenous Halophytes) under in vitro condition. Currently, I am evaluating the potential of different bio-molecules (Salicylic acid, ascorbic acid, proline, KH2PO4 etc) against various stresses in different commercially important crops (Potato, pea, maiz etc). Exogenous application of these bio-molecules (pretreatment to plants/ callus cultures before inoculation/added in medium) or foliar spray to pot-grown plants has shown to have reduced its effect substantially in plants. These bio-molecules minimized the oxidative damage by increasing the amount of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase and peroxidase) that in turn reflected in better growth parameters of plants.
I thought various courses i.e., Plant Biochemistry, Plant Tissue Culture, Cell and Molecular Biology, Horticulture, Fundamentals of Forestry, Plant Diversity, Biotechnology for Sustainable Development to BS/MS/MPhil and PhD classes. |
