AREA OF RESEARCH
Molecular marker based assessment of genetic diversity of rare, endangered, and threatened plant species of Eastern Ghats.
Genetic variation at the intra-species level is a prerequisite for future adaptive change or evolution, and has profound implications for species conservation. Understanding genetic variation within and between populations is essential for the establishment of effective and efficient conservation practices for rare, endangered and threatened species. Loss of biodiversity occurs not only through the loss of these species, but also through the loss of genetic diversity within these species. Knowledge of the genetic structure of plants is central to design effective in situ and ex situ conservation strategies. Our research initiatives aim at utilization of molecular markers for assessing genetic diversity of different populations/ individuals of rare/endangered tree species occurring in the Eastern Ghat region and analyzing genetic variability using suitable statistical packages
