Research Interest

●Genetic and Epigenetic Variation and Its Possible Underlying Mechanism in the Recipient Plant Genome following Pollination by a Distantly Related Species for example hybridization between rice and Zizania Latifolia L.,rice and Oenothera biennis L., rice and barnyard grass, rice and maize. ● Abiotic stress induced inheritable alterations of epigenetic(mainly in DNA methylation) which may contribute to plant enhanced resistance to relative stress in rice and foxtail millet. ● Transposition mechanism of retro/transposons and its influence on genome stability, genome evolution and gene expression in rice and foxtail millet.
