Research Interest

The research in my laboratory is aimed at elucidation of the molecular circuitry used by plants in response to environmental stress. This enables the identification of key components which would help in their targeted manipulation in transgenic plants. Our efforts to address these involve utilization of a repertoire of approaches, which include physiochemical, proteomic and genomic tools. Recent advances in proteomics have created an opportunity for dissecting quantitative and qualitative traits in a more meaningful way. The proteomics approach is ideally suited for fast and sensitive analysis of the functions of the plant genes and gene-products, the proteins. Our research interest can be grouped under two thrust areas: stress proteomics, and gene expression and regulation.
