Major contributions during professional career

The research on cotton genetics and breeding is being persued since two decades of service. The genetic improvement in all the four cultivated cotton species (using different breeding strategies) have resulted in to varieties hybrids and novel genetic stocks. The interspecific hybrid DHB-015 (Heterosis breeding) resistant to leaf reddening has been an over DCH-32 which is already in seed production chain. DHH-11 (Heterosis breeding) an Intrahirsutum hybrid known for its ginning out turn, big boll size, better fibre properties vis a vis bollworm tolerance is a popular hybrid covering more than 50,000 ha. DHH-543 (Heterosis breeding) suitable for spinning 50s count. Sahana, (composite crossing and pedigree in the summer and kharif cotton belt. DLSA 17 (distant hybridization and introgression), a long linted G.arboreum variety with high GOT and resistant to sucking pests and Alternaria has been a cultivar for quality elevation in rainfed to ecosystem. DDhCC-11 a mutant, short staple G.Herbaceum variety resistant to Alternaria has been a substitute for Jayadhar. Apart from this there are genetic stocks with bold seed stronger fibre 50.4 g/tex (Interspecific diploid hybrid) etc. The multidisciplinary approach leading to the development of production and protection technologies to cultivate above mentioned cultivars has transformed the economy of cotton formers in south Zone.

The work on conversion of cotton genotypes into GGMS – (G.herknesii) background is one of the biggest task undertaken with 79 tetraploid lines converted into GGMS system, alongwith isolation of 29 R lines. Similar efforts have been made in GMS system both in diploid as well as tetraploid cotton. Histological basis of male sterility in both GMS and GGMS and tetraploid and diploid cotton has been worked out. Now, for the first time the genetic resource for thermo sensitive male sterility has been identified in diploid cotton. Apomictic lines in introgressed double haploids are the rich genetic resources hither to not reported in cotton have been identified. For such a cotton breeding work Hutchinson Memorial Award has been given (1999). In chilli, inheritance of ascorbic acid accumulation of mineral elements have been worked out.

Looking to the bollworms problems Bt transformation with Cry 1Ac gene has been successfully completed with T2 generation plants in the field. In the area of genmics, the D genome specific RAPD fragments have been identified in the introgressed G. Arboreum.

In the teaching front, 8 Ph.D and 15 M.Sc students have been guided as major advisor and 22 Ph.D and 38 M.Sc. students as member of advisory committee. Apart from students, more than 20 Research Associates have been trained in Cotton Research and Development and this can be considered as major achievement in scientific human resource development. Some of the interesting areas of research under taken in PG research includes somatic embryo genesis in cotton, embryo rescue techniques to recover interspecific cross recovery, genetic studies in naturally coloured cotton, historical and biochemical basis of male sterility, in vitro development of cotton fibre, genetic analysis of seed oil in cotton, micropropogation techniques and anther culture studies in cotton, Hisutisation of G.arboreum cotton and anatomical basis of sucking pest tolerance in Gossypium genera.

The first naturally coloured (Almond) cotton under cultivation with the help of Khadi Village Industry in India. Inter institutional linkages with BARC, Mumbai. Paterson Lab of University of Georgia, (USA) Jean Gould Lab of Texas, A & M, Texas USA, Institute of Experimental Biology of Science, Tashkent, Uzbekistan. SNDT Mumbai, Textile Engineering, Hulkoti, Raichur and Home Science, Colleges. Institute of Agri Biotechnology, Dharwad, IARI, New Delhi, NBPGR, New Delhi etc have been established to develop stronger research base. There is a record about excellence in attracting external funding in terms of projects and cash incentive award.
