RESEARCH :

 

The major areas of Research interest is Plant and Fungal Biotechnology.     

The objectives of the research programme are:

·         Bioremediation of heavy metal pollutants.

·         Selection of resistant plants and identification of specific genes involved in resistance against fungal pathogens.

·         Isolation, characterization and overexpression of Plant L-asparaginase for the treatment of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

·         Isolation and molecular characterization of fungal biocontrol agents against animal nematode pets.
