Research Interest
Involved in crop improvement programmes for biotic stress tolerance. The core of these programmes has been the meristem-based in planta transformation strategy developed by me. Presently, working on pod borer resistance in pigeonpea. This will be dealt with by using different insecticidal proteins (ICPs) from Bacillus thuringiensis using the tissue culture-independent in planta transformation strategy.
