Project title: “Mining nonhost resistance (NHR) genes for engineering Alternaria Blight resistance in Indian Mustard (Brassica juncea)” (GAP-43)
Principle Investigator: Dr. Sivasubramanian R, Scientist D
Positions: Junior Research Fellow (01)
Project Summary: The project focusses on discovering non-host resistance genes against a major necrotrophic pathogen of the oilseed Brassicas, Alternaria brassicae. The project involves identification and characterisation of effectors in the culture filtrate of A. brassicae. Some of the characterised effectors would be used as baits to identify host and non-host interacting proteins in Brassica juncea and Nicotiana benthamiana. The identified interacting partner(s) would be validated using immunoprecipitation and BiFC assays. Further, the candidate interacting partner(s) would be functionally validated by overexpressing it in Arabidopsis thaliana, followed by disease bioassays on the overexpression lines. This project involves handling fungal cultures, molecular cloning, mass spectrometry, and other protein-protein interactions assays.

Project title: “Exploring the genetic resources of Indian Arabidopsis thaliana populations for utilization in Brassica crops against prevalent fungal diseases” (GAP-57)
Principle Investigator: Dr. Sivasubramanian R, Scientist D
Positions: Junior Research Fellow (01)
Duration: Till June 2025.
Project Summary: The project focuses on discovering resistance genes against major pathogens of the oilseed Brassicas, using the genetic resources of Indian Arabidopsis populations. The project involves sequencing of Indian Arabidopsis populations, and screening the accessions for various diseases. Further, GWAS/QTL mapping approaches will be used to identify candidate genes. This multidisciplinary project will combine different approaches of plant pathology, genomics, and quantitative genetics to provide answers to some of the vital problems in breeding for disease-resistant Brassica crops. This project involves handling fungal cultures, third generation sequencing (Nanopore sequencing), phenotyping, and other comparative genomics analyses.
