Research Activity

The Research activity in my lab focuses on Morphogenesis and Tissue Culture studies

particularly on various aspects of invitro regeneration/ organogenesis and micropropagation

of some economically important and medicinal plants of the State with particular reference to

Valley. Amongst the economically important plants, the work on the plants of Horticultural

importance to the region forms the main thrust area of research. In addition work is also

undertaken on gene transformation, antimicrobial and antibacterial activities, Phtyochemical

analysis of medicinal plants, Endophytic fungi and mushrooms. Some of the progress

achieved so far and current research undertaken in various groups is enlisted below:

1. Micropropagation and Conservation Biology

a. Micropropagation protocol through direct or indirect regeneration leading to whole

plant regeneration has been achieved in following plants:

Horticulture Plants:

a) Prunus dulcis (Almond)

b) Juglans regia (Walnut)

c) Castenea sativa (Chestnut)

d) Malus pumia (Apple) 4 cultivars

e) Morus spp.

Forest Trees:

a) Pinus wallichiana

b) Pinus roxburghii

c) Picea smithiana

d) Populus caspica

e) Paratiopsis jacmontiana

f) Alnus nitida

Ornamentals:
