Goal: From Lab bench to bountiful harvest
Goal: From Lab bench to bountiful harvest
In past researchers have mainly focused on answering biological questions by studying a single gene or few genes and have been pretty successful, however, now we understand that biological organization and processes are much more complex and require a holistic approach. Our believes of simple linear relationship between a gene and phenotype is no longer sufficient. The role of environments (rest of the genome + unknown) in phenotype needs to be accounted and the genetic code has to be linked to physiological outcomes for quantum crop improvement. A "Holisto-Scope" is needed…………
Main focus:
Main focus:
Wheat breeding, genetics, applied genomics
Developing cultivars with improved winter hardiness and drought tolerance
Discovering new genetic variation in wheat (Mutations, wild relatives)
Current interests include:
Gene discovery in wheat using TILLING and next generation sequencing
Mapping of genes and QTls for disease resistance.
Genomics for sustainable crop improvement
