Research Interest
Research involve aspects of plant breeding and genetics related to the development of canola germplasm to meet the present and future demand by producers for increased seed/oil yield, better agronomy, disease resistance and improved seed oil and meal quality. This includes application of conventional breeding methods, and biotechnology including cell and tissue culture and molecular marker techniques. Broadening genetic diversity and introgression of genetic traits through wide hybridization in Brassica is an important aspect in my research program.
