Our Research
We focus on understanding the molecular mechanisms of plant defense, gene functionality, and applying bioinformatics tools to aid rice breeding. Explore some of our key research areas below.
Rice Disease Resistance
We study bacterial blight, sheath blight to uncover defense mechanisms in rice and help develop resistant varieties.
Gene Functionality
We use advanced functional genomics to identify and characterize genes involved in crucial traits like disease resistance, stress tolerance, and yield enhancement.
NGS and Bioinformatics
Leveraging next-generation sequencing technologies and bioinformatics, we identify novel genetic markers for breeding improved rice varieties.
Abiotic Stress Resistance
Our research focuses on enhancing rice tolerance to abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and heat to improve crop yield under adverse conditions.
Gene Editing in Rice Research
CRISPR-based genome engineering for customized trait enhancement in rice. Using CRISPR and other tools to target key genes in rice development and defense.
