Biography
Currently he is a Professor in Department of Biotechnology at ICAR-Indian Institute of Horticultural Research
Research Interest
Plant molecular biology, plant transformation, abiotic stress tolerance, transgenics for useful traits, RNAi Ph.D 18 Cloned a number of genes & promoters for abiotic stress tolerance in crop plants and validated for function: dreb1A, dreb2S, PjVP1, rd29A, rab7, etc. Developed genetically modified tomato and chilli for moisture stress and heat stress. Anthocyanin rich tomato were developed by metabolic engineering Developed a modular vector for single step assembly of sense and antisense DNA fragments for RNAi in plants Genetically modified tomato by RNAi mediated insect pest resistance
