Salient Achievements:

She has an experience in the established methods as well as their integration with emerging genomic technologies, for the understanding of genetic variation in horticultural crops, especially, cucurbitaceous crops. She has evaluated genetic variability based on morphological traits, biochemical and molecular markers in several cucurbitaceous crops and millets. She has developed thousands of SSR markers in bottle gourd, sponge gourd, watermelon and small millets, with potential and demonstrated relevance to the analyses of genetic diversity, cultivar identification and marker assisted selection. She has developed the first SSR based linkage map in bottle gourd and compared its synteny with other cucurbit crops. She has developed SRAP markers linked to ToLCNDV resistance and characterized NBS-LRR resistance gene candidates showing strong association with the leaf curl disease in sponge gourd. She has developed the first transcriptomic signatures in bottle gourd and ToLCNDV resistant and susceptible sponge gourd to aid gene discovery and marker development.
