Research Area:

Validation of QTLs in F₆ reciprocal population of Horkuch and IR29 via KASP genotyping system

Study on plant root endophytic bacteria to find out their salt tolerant activity and inoculation studies on rice variety.

Increased yield and drought tolerance in rice by disrupting Squalene Synthase gene using CRISPR-Cas9 method.

Identification, expression analysis and cloning of transporter genes of Porteresia Coarctara

Porteresia coarctata is a salt tolerant wild relative of rice which is growing in estuarine soils. It can be used as an important material for transferring salt tolerant characteristics to rice.The purpose of my study was to try and transfer at least some of the salt tolerance traits of P. coarctata to cultivated rice. The target is to identify ion transporter gene that is used by P. coarctata to exclude ions and see their differential expression under different salt stress and finally clone them in yeast.
