Dr.Suhas Karkute

1. Characterized tomato genotypes H88-78-1 and CLN-1621 for high temperature tolerance. Tomato genotype H-88-78-1 (INGR22049) Registered at NBPGR, New Delhi
2. Identified a novel mechanism for accumulation of cellular proline during drought stress through down regulation of proline rich proteins (SlPRP) to avoid utilization of available proline molecules thereby maintaining the osmotic balance until de novo proline synthesis begins.
3. Identified and characterized RPN10 gene in brinjal for development of little leaf disease resistance.
4. Characterization of AtDREB1A transgenic tomato for cold tolerance through biochemical and molecular analysis.
5. Characterized vWA gene family for the first time in any plant species and identified vWA18, vWA36, vWA37 genes involved in biotic stress tolerance.
6. Functional characterization of vWA36 gene was carried out by overexpression in rice for blast disease resistance.
7. Developed multiplex genome editing constructs for DMR6 and PL genes in tomato for multiple disease resistance, TPL1 and TPL2 genes for fusarium wilt resistance and RPN10 gene in brinjal for little leaf disease resistance.
8. Identified WRKY58 and WRKY72 transcription factors as potential candidates for enhancing drought tolerance in tomato.
9. DNA barcoding through COI gene sequence of more than 30 insect species.
10. Characterized Black carrot and Helencha extracts for antidiabetic and anti-biofilm properties, respectively.
