RNA has been isolated and sent for expression analysis at three key development stages and correlate the transcript data with per day grain yield heterosis data to predict heterosis by developing SNPs or expression array based assay. Project-6: Molecular breeding for improvement of tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses, yield and quality traits in crops 1. Validation of molecular markers linked to major genes/QTLs governing resistance /tolerance to various biotic and abiotic stresses, yield and quality traits in crops. 2. Introgression of genes/QTLs governing resistance/tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses yield and quality traits into popular cultivars use marker assisted backcross breeding approach. 3.
