Technical Assistant Position in Tomato Functional
Genomics
At the Repository of Tomato Genomics Resources, we are working on Tomato Functional
Genomics, using TILLING, Insertional Mutagenesis, NGS, genome editing, proteomics and
metabolomics approaches to study fruit ripening in tomato
(http://uohyd.ac.in/images/index.html. The current aims of the group include using reverse and
forward genetics strategies to isolate tomato mutants delayed in ripening, having high lycopene
and folate content in tomato fruits and analysis of light and hormonal signal transduction
pathways.
For recent publications of the group see (Plant Journal (2017)92: 495-508; Food
Chemistry (2018) 259: 234-244; Food Chemistry.2015 DOI10.1016/j.foodchem.2015.01.110,

Plant Physiology 2011 156: 1424-1438; Molecular Plant 2010 3: 854-869). We also conduct
Annual Training Workshop on TILLING and Genome Editing.
Currently we have following positions available in the following project awarded to Prof. R.P.
Sharma funded by Department of Biotechnology till 31st March 2020.
“Genome wide screen for tomato mutants by TILLING- Phase-II”
