Biography:
I, Palak Gupta, PhD scholar at Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi, India, currently affiliated with the ICAR-National Institute of Plant Biotechnology (ICAR-NIPB), New Delhi, India. My research focuses on elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying cleistogamy in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan), utilizing a comprehensive multi-omics approach that integrates transcriptomics, metabolomics, and proteomics. My work aims to enhance the understanding of self-pollination mechanisms and seed purity in leguminous crops. My research is supported by academic achievements, including clearing the CSIR-NET exam in 2021, which has bolstered my expertise in plant biotechnology and genomics.
Title : Interplay between the JA pathway genes and bHLH may play an important role in regulating cleistogamy in pigeon pea
