Research Intersts: I had been involved in transgenic research since, 2004. I am working on fundamental as well as applied Molecular Biology/Genetic Engineering. Engineering plant genome for valuable agronomic traits including biotic and abiotic stresses. Chloroplast genetic engineering is of particular interest for me owing to several unique advantages of this technology including high-level transgene expression, multigene engineering and transgene containment by maternal inheritance so is a biosafe approach for transgenics. Gene isolation, characterization, amplification and cloning for the development of transformation cassettes. Exploring novel explants for transformation and rapid clonal propagation. Among the various crops major emphasis is on sugarcane.
