PROJECTS

  1. Production of double haploid in wheat through wheat × maize crosses

    Funded by: Institute of Research and Training

    Position: Principal Investigator

    Description: Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the second most important crop in the world. The research hypothesis of the project was to develop a suitable protocol for wheat × maize and subsequent development of haploids under in-vitro using different culture media. Therefore, the proposed study was undertaken with the following objectives: 1. To identify the suitable culture media for developing higher frequency of haploids through embryo culture that derived from wheat F1 × maize germplasm, and 2. To construct a suitable protocol for regeneration of double haploid in wheat.

  2. Genetic and molecular dissection of drought tolerance in European barely (Hordeum valgare L.) lines (2019-20)

    Funded by: Institute of Research and Training (IRT)

    Position: Principal Investigator

    Description: Among the major cereal crops, barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L. and T. turgidum L.) are grown in the most hostile and consequently lowest yielding environments and severely affects on yield and quality of crop due to abiotic stress (Langridge et al. 2006). Abiotic factor includes drought, salinity, high temperatures and an insufficient supply of mineral nutrients. Drought is considered as one of the main abiotic factors limiting crop productivity, including that of barley (Jana and Wilen 2005). In the present study, we will perform genome-wide association mapping for root and shoot with yield traits using a unique barley diversity set adapted to different environmental conditions across the world. The diversity set will be established based on modern cultivars, landraces and wild accessions for in depths analyses of broad-spectrum genetic resources to discover essential breeding leads. Considering the above facts, the present study should be taken with the following objectives: 1. To assess the genetic variability in barley germplasms based on root-shoot traits, proline content, and yield traits. 2. To identify diverse parents for future hybridization program using molecular diversity analysis. 3. To identify resistance sources of gene or loci for drought tolerance in barley through marker-trait association studies.
