Research
Understanding the molecular basis of chromosome pairing control in polyploids, genome organization of grass species including localizing and demarcating gene-containing regions, molecular characterization of agronomically important genes including disease resistance genes, and extent and distribution of recombination in crop plants. The applied aspect of the project deals with quick, efficient, precise and targeted transfer of agronomically important genes across cultivars and species using marker assisted background selection method. A new project in the program is to study seed development and grain quality characteristics at molecular level using a variety of approaches including association mapping, VIGS, and RNAi. Read more.
