Research Interest:

Physiology and Molecular Biology of salt tolerance, with emphasis on rice (glycophyte) as well as halophytes (salt-loving); transporters invloved in excretion of salt outside leaf, DNA-marker-assisted high throughput selection to aid breeding and genetic transformation for producing salt tolerant high yielding rice. Use of rice as a delivery system for vaccines and other proteins.

Plant hormone, abiotic stress

Message

The primary research interest of my lab lies in understanding the hormonal regulation of plant growth and development under optimum condition and various stresses. For this, we are primarily focusing on the plant hormone auxin, which influences plant behavior from embryogenesis to senescence and exhibits complex interactions with other hormones.
