Specialisation: 
Grape rootstocks, Canopy management in grapes, Grape physiology and biochemistry, proteomics
Qualification: 
Ph. D (Horticulture); Postdoctoral Fellow (Viticulture) from University of Missouri, Columbia, USA
Research Accomplishments: 

He has got 18 years of experience in grape research with specialization in screening and evaluation of rootstocks for drought and salinity tolerance, canopy management of wine grapes etc. Long term evaluation of rootstocks for Thompson Seedless grapes resulted in identifying Dogridge rootstock for increased bunch and berry size,  drought tolerance in spite of its higher vigor inducing capacity to scions. And  symptom of inverted bottleneck at graft joint does as not a symptom of graft incompatibility. Studied the physiological, biochemical and molecular mechanisms of rootstocks altering scion physiology during bud burst, fruit bud differentiation and berry development stages and identified enzymes responsible for quick bud burst, hormones responsible for bud dormancy and its release, increased berry size etc.  Screened rootstocks for tolerance of combined moisture and salinity stresses and could see the over expression of Na+/H+ antiporter gene in 110R rootstock conferring its salt tolerance by exclusion of sodium from soil or its sequestration in vacuole and its more osmotic adjustment with respect to accumulation of compatible solutes like proline, sugars etc. Our team standardized protocols for extraction of quality proteins from different grape tissues for proteomic studies and also standardized protocols for 2D electrophoresis. Standardized protocols of in-sol digestion of proteins for proteome characterization on MS-MS. Standardized protocols for estimation of pheolic profile, organic acids, sugars and amino acids on HPLC. Standardized canopy management practices such as shoot thinning, shoot positioning and leaf removal at veraison stage for Norton grapes (under continental climate of Missouri, USA) and Cabernet Sauvignon (under tropical conditions of Pune, India) to improve fruit composition with respect to juice pH, malic acid content, anthocyanin content to produce quality wine.
