Dr. J Annie Sheeba

• Identified promising Gossypium hirsutum germplasm lines for drought tolerance and water logging tolerance for Marker Assisted Breeding.
• Elucidated the possible causes of leaf reddening in central India through biochemical analysis and gene expression studies
• Developed the device “Express Nitrogen Guru” which detects N deficiency and suggests corrective measures – as a part of team: It works based on the principle of transmittance of light by leaves. N deficiency causes changes in pigmental composition in cotton leaves. As the intensity of N deficiency increases, there is an increase in red pigment, anthocyanin and increase in green chlorophyll pigments in cotton leaves. The gadget detects N deficiency based on red, green, blue, hue, saturation and luminosity values of the leaf colour. When the user presses the button, the program takes a picture of the leaf inserted into the leaf chamber.
• Identified that DNA-binding with one finger1 (DOF1) transcription factor can help cotton plants to increase nitrogen use efficiency under nitrogen limiting conditions, by gene expression studies in N deficient and sufficient plants of cotton variety Suraj.

Host Plant Resistance

• Epicuticular wax content was quantified from Gossypium hirsutum germplasm lines categorized as (i) high whitefly and high CLCuD (ii) low whitefly and high CLCuD and (iii) low whitefly and low CLCuD. The sudy indicates that germplasm lines with higher epicuticular wax content had lower incidence of whiteflies and hence lower CLCuD incidence. However temporal and spatial variations in wax contents were observed.
• Identified that the relative abundance of β Caryophyllene is twofold higher in PBW infested flowers than normal flowers. In PBW infested flowers slightly higher relative abundance of methyl ester of pentadecanoic acid and linolenic acid, the precursor of jasmonic acid, is seen than in normal flowers. The terpenes, 2, thujene, copaene, α guaiene, epizonarene which are found in normal flowers are not detected in PBW infested flowers.
