1. Junior Research Fellow (Project Grant GAP-43) (One Position)

Project Title:- Mining nonhost resistance (NHR) genes for engineering Alternaria Blight resistance in Indian Mustard (Brassica juncea)”

Duration of Project: Till 15th March, 2024

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.

About Company

NABl is co-located along with Bioprocessing Unit (BPU) , an independent institute, being set up under the DBT and  an Agri-Food Biotech Park(ABP)  being set up under public-private partnership. The NABI, BPU and ABP would therefore comprise an Agri-Food Biotech cluster that would act as a “biotechnology hub” in the region. The agri food cluster has been developed to link three essential related biotechnologies of crops,  food and nutrition, and carry out bench to market activity through its state and regional resource networks.
