Nivetha Mathiyalagan
Nivetha Mathiyalagan
Ph.D Student ( 12125)
I am doing functional analysis of xylR of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae in regulating the hrp genes during bacterial blight pathogenesis in rice.
Sreenayana B
Ph.D Student (11835)
My area is to characterize the virulence-associated genes and to evaluate the novel management options for Burkholderia glumae causing panicle blight of rice
Rashmi E R
Ph.D Student (11569)
In my PhD programme I edited the promoter regions of OsSWEET genes in rice for demonstrating resistance to bacterial blight disease.
Mrutyunjaya S
Ph.D Student (11315)
My focus is to elucidate the structural features and functional role of HpaI like type3 translocators of Xap in the induction of bacterial blight on pomegranate.
Kalaivanan NS
PhD Student (10861)
Relieved on 31.12.2018
