Project Description: Plant Secondary metabolites often strengthens the defense of host plants against unfavourable condition. The project thus aimed to biosynthesis the pathway of one such secondary metabolite in banana using comparative genome-wide analysis, expression profiling, reverse genetic analysis and other related methods. 

Major Responsibility: 

1. The ideal candidate expected to construct and maintain a high-density mutant banana library 
2. Characterize the secondary metabolite profile in banana 
3. Other works related to 1 & 2 File No.F.No.9(160)/2020/Estt.
