Research summary:
· Development of protocols for efficient clonal propagation
of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) through axillary shoot proliferation
from nodal segments of mature tree and cotyledonary nodes from
axenic seedlings.
· Development of a protocol for adventitious shoot organogenesis
in pomegranate as a prerequisite for Agrobacterium-mediated genetic
transformation.
· Production and utilization of synthetic seeds for propagation
of pomegranate.
· Establishment of cell suspension cultures of a timber
yielding forest tree, Dalbergia sissoo L.
· Development of plant regeneration protocol of grass pea
(Lathyrus sativus L.) through cotyledonary node.
