Awards/Fellowship/Achievements 1.University of Agriculture Sciences Gold Medal award for having completed the M.Sc. (Agriculture) in the Department Genetics and Plant Breeding with distinction by securing the highest overall grade point average of 9.09 out of 10 during the year 2006. 2. Shivashankar Memorial Gold Medal award for the best M.Sc. (Agriculture) student in the Department Genetics and Plant Breeding during the year 2006. 3. Mr. R. M. Radhakrishna Memorial Gold Medal award for the best M.Sc. (Agriculture) Student in the Department Genetics and Plant Breeding during the year 2006. 4. Dr. Muralidharan Nayar, M.G.M Memorial Gold Medal award for the best M.Sc. (Agriculture) Student in the Department Genetics and Plant Breeding during the year 2006. Major Achievements: 1 Development of rice varieties: DRR Dhan 55, DRR Dhan 56, DRR Dhan 58, DRR Dhan 60, Bina Dhan 17, BRRI Dhan 69, BRRI Dhan 75 were developed. 2 Marker assisted transfer of Imazethapyr herbicide resistance gene into DRR Dhan 60 and DRR Dhan 44: Robin mutant allele possessing Imazthapyr resistance was introgressed to DRR Dhan 60 and DRR Dhan 44 and developed BC3F2 introgression lines. 3 Mapping QTL hotspot regions for early seedling vigour and weed competitive traits in rice: Molecular mapping in IR64*1/O. glaberrima identified QTL hotpsot regions associated with early seedling vigour and weed competitiveness derived from O. glaberrima (Muralidhara et al., 2020). 4 Genome wide association mapping of early seeding vigour under aerobic condition: GWAS was carried out in a set of rice germplasm identified significant genomic regions for root and yield related traits under aerobic (Padmashree et al., 2023). 5 Mapping novel bacterial leaf blight resistance derived from O. glaberrima: QTL analysis carried in BC2F6 population revealed presence of major QTL on chromosome 6 conferring BB resistance derived from O. glaberrima. 6 Developed AB-NAM population derived from IR64/O. glaberrima: Early seedling vigour and weed competitive 10 accessions of O . glaberrima were used for development of 1500 BC1F6 lines to constitute AB-NAM in rice. 7 Developed AB-NAM population derived from IR64/O. glaberrima: Early seedling vigour and weed competitive 10 accessions of O. glaberrima were used for development of 1500 BC1F6 lines to constitute AB-NAM in rice. 8 Developed high yielding blast resistant introgression lines derived from Oryza rufipogon: Backcross inbred population derived from Oryza rupfipogn in the background of elite rice cultivar, Samba Mahsuri was developed and identified high yielding blast resistant genotypes (Basavaraj et al., 2020). 9 Developed soybean core collection: Core set consisting of 713 accessions was developed using morphological and yield attributing traits in soybean (Gireesh et al.,2015) 10 Identified AGS25, long juvenile soybean germplasm: The long juvenile traits in soybean plays significant role adptaoption of soybean varieties.The genetic stock is registered in the NBPGR. 11 Identified and mapped dominant leaf rust resistance gene LrTrk in durum wheat (Gireesh et al., 2014): 12 Identifed and mapped recessive stem rust resistant gene (srWR) and dominant stem rust resistant gene (Sr16) in bread wheat genotype WR95 (Gireesh et al., 2015) Research interest: Genetic improvement of direct seeded rice Publications:
