(During the Period of 2019-2023)
Seed priming protocols were developed for high germination and high seedling vigour for low quality seeds in various vegetable crops. Modified atmospheric storage for enhancing shelf life of high vigour primed seeds was investigated. Developed seed germination protocols in various medicinal crops. Enumerated biochemical and molecular events leading to loss of seed vigour during seed storage and vigour restoration pattern upon seed invigouration was identified in various horticultural crops. Isolated and characterised proteins/genes conferring seed vigour in onion and French bean. Enhancement of Abiotic (water and hig temperature) stress tolerance in chilli genotypes through chemo and biopriming was investigated and proteomic/metabolomic and transcriptomic changes were correlated.
As collaborator involved in development of technologies
- Seed pelleting protocol in onion
- Release of new rose hybrids for open field.
