Gene mining and trait based pyramiding for abiotic stress tolerance (Ongoing)

Primary tabs

Objective: 
  1. Survey and homology search of abiotic stress responsive genes.
  2. Isolation of stress responsive genes from hardy species
  3. Selection of genes for stacking and vector construction for plant transformation.
  4. Transgenic development and molecular characterization
  5. Evaluation for abiotic stress tolerance selection of elite lines

Achievements: 
  • A novel vacuolar pyrophosphatase gene (PjVP1) was cloned from the hardy species of Prosopis juliflora. Functional analysis of this gene is being carried out.
