| Research Interests |
| Nitrogen is a major plant nutrient and a main component of chemical fertilizers. Nitrogenous
fertilizers have enhanced crop yields. However, this has come at a significant economic and
environmental cost. On the other hand symbiotic nodule development in legumes alleviates the
use of chemical fertilizers and is of high significance in modern agriculture. We are interested to
understand the nodule development in chickpea using a number of different methodologies
including genetics, genomics, molecular and cellular biology. |
