11. Significant Research Achievements :
Have made original contributions to resolve outstanding issues relating to differential
response of plant organs to hormone-induced senescence at varying levels of growth and
development and metabolic basis of plant senescence. Besides, the chemotaxonomic
studies in respect to flavonoid patterns in ornamental plants and crop geometry for
enhancing the productivity have been elucidated. The significant findings in this respect
are:
� Based on development specific differential dual response (acceleration / rertardation
of senescence) of growth regulators (molecular inducer), it has been reported for the
first time that the induction of senescence is age dependent and tissue specific. The
conclusions are based on systematic examination of senescence realized at different
ages of plant development and variation in the concentration of molecular inducer.
� A detailed study of in vivo senescence in Catharanthus roseus has led to the
identification of a lipoid heterogeneous compound “lipofuscin like” that evince
quantitative correlation to the degree of tissue damage during petal senescence.
However, IAA and Spermine - induced (in vitro) senescence fails in accumulation of
such compounds, although breakdown products of fatty acids appear with senescence
in them. The findings have value towards the development of biomarkers to elucidate
occurrence and mechanism of senescence.
� A polypeptide molecule – supposed to be a breakdown product of RUBPCase, that
marks the onset of senescence, has been identified and molecularly characterized
from the pre-senescing leaf tissues.
� Developed a common extraction-cum-assay buffer for comparative enzymatic
analysis for hydrolases and oxidoreductases during development and senescence. This
has helped to establish differential pattern of enzymatic activity of natural and
induced loss of viability in the seeds.
� Identified several hitherto new flavonoids in several ornamental plants that are of
chemotaxonomic value.
� Suggested crop geometry parameters for maximization of productivity for tall and
dwarf varieties taking wheat as a model system.
� Suggested occurrence of a “Lipofuscin- like” compound, which can act as a probable
biomarker of senescence in intact systems.
� Identified and characterized salt tolerant varieties of spices, induced calli and somatic
embryos under salt stress for regeneration of salt tolerant plants
� Identified tree, shrub and herb species for reclamation of barren and saline lands,
especially Vetiver, Withania somnifera, Sesbania sesban, Jatropha curcas, etc.
� Detailed study on biodiesel plant Jatropha curcas and its allelopathic intraction with
vetiver, Ricinus communis and crop plants establishing the futility of J.curcas to be
grown near several croplands
� Developed protocols for ex-situ conservation of medicinal plants and enhancement of
their medicinal principles (Diosgenin, L-Dopa, Asiaticoside, Ascorbic acid, rutin,
withanolide, flavonoid content) in calli of certain medicinal plants (Centella asiatica,
