RESEARCH
Plant host-pathogen interaction emphasizing on the genetic mechanisms of resistance gene mediated defense responses in host and the pathogenicity in the pathogens. Research programs include “Functional analysis of the Lr21-mediated resistance pathway” and “Molecular characterization of avirulence/virulence genes of the wheat leaf rust fungal pathogen”.
TEACHING
Teaching responsibilities include PSPP542 (Genetics of Plant Improvement) and BIOL301 (Genetics)
