Area of Specialization : Marker-Aided Selection and Transformation

Achievement : Developed molecular markers to distinguish between cold sensitive and cold tolerant jute by a combined RAPD and AFLP study. J. Biochem. and Mol. Biol.36 (5)427-432 (BSRK and Springer-Verlag)

Future Plan : Will embark upon a USDA-financed collaboraive jute project on construction of genomic and cDNA library
