Our lab studied the genetic and biochemical mechanisms that mediate Glycine max seed longevity. This includes not only phenotyping, genotyping, histology, and molecular breeding but also the characterization of the genes that are involved in Glycine max seed longevity.

Further, the current research focus is to understand the molecular mechanism of Glycine max seed-borne associated disease resistance.

 Current area of Research/Specialization:

•  Development of kit for quick detection of Glycine max seed longevity and seed-borne associate pathogens
• Characterization of genes responsible for Glycine max seed longevity and seed-borne associated disease resistance

 Ongoing Projects:

• Co-PI: Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB) funded project entitled “Development of cytoplasmic male sterile lines in onion (Allium cepa Lthrough targeted mutagenesis of AcMSH1 gene”).
• PI: Improving Seed Health and Storage System (In-house project)
• Co-PI: Basic and Strategic Research on Seed Quality Improvement (In-house project)
• Co-PI: Seed quality assessment and enhancement technologies (In-house project)

 Awards/ Fellowships:

• Mrs. Prem Kumari Singh Memorial Gold Medal 2010.
• Qualified GATE (Life Science),2011 ,94 Percentile.
