RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
(A) Ph.D research :
Biodiversity profile of the Cyanobacterial genus : Calothrix
Comprehensively characterize the variability in selected set of cyanobacterial strains of Calothrix (family Rivulariaceae) isolated from diverse geographical regions of India, besides International “reference strain” in terms of morphological and physiological parameters such as biomass, pigments, metabolites and enzymes related to N-metabolism. On the other hand, utilize molecular markers for unambiguous differentiation of the Calothrix strains and for analysis of genetic diversity by single and multiplex Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism of 16S rRNA gene. An attempt was made to correlate morpho-physiological parameters with genetic diversity amongst the Calothrix strains.

(B) M.Sc research :
Characterizing variability in Trichoderma species
The variability among the different isolates of Trichoderma was studied based on the cultural and morphological characters. On the other hand, the biocontrol fungi Trichoderma viride, Trichoderma aureoviride and Trichoderma harzianum showed mycoparasitism and were able to parasitize R. solani by competition and second through the formation of small tufts thus limiting the growth of the pathogens. Characterization of the Trichoderma was also carried out using PCR based RAPD analysis. All the isolates which produced yellow coloured crystals were grouped as T. aureoviride.

Hello Sir

I am Shraddha Gupta, here i am giving about my working skills which will be helpfull to increase productivity of vegetables crops and fruits of your farm if you give me an opportunity to serve in your company.

As a pathologist , I have handled fungal and bacterial pathogens . But specially i am good to handle fungal diseases of various crops . But experimentally in detail i have studied on fungal diseases like Anthracnose of Papaya and Chilli, root rots of tomato and brinjal, wilt of tomato, cercospora spot of pea, spot blotch of wheat , post harvest fruit rot of papaya , chilli, banana, amla caused by Alternaria , Colletotrichum, Penicillium, Pestolacia respectively and their management process through use of fungicides and organically with the use of different compost and biocontrols. like Yeast, Trichoderma , Pseudomonas .

During my postgraduation i have taken training of mass cultivation of trichoderma biocontrol , sreened variuos species of Trichoderma against root rot disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani . I have also learned about mushroom cultivation.

All pathological work like Disease identification , Pathogen isolation , Inoculum preparation , Pathogen identification (specially of fungus because it can be done by microscope, for bacterial through ooze out test and some specific symptoms disease is whether caused by bacteria can be identified and through some specific symptoms nutritional and viral disease can be sceened out and for further confirmation it has to be studied in laboratory), and their management process.

I also have some basic knowledge of Molecular Breeding , I have prepared crosses of wheat genotypes and screened lines for resistant variety and better yeild against spot blotch disease of wheat.
In molecular lab work i can efficiently do DNA isolation , PCR reaction, RAPD marker assistant selection which are important to screen out resistant variety .

Please consider it in favour of me with your consent. By above information i think you will be able to know about depth of my knowledge and experience , if their any thing not properly explained please forgive me and again give a chance to explain it.
