Public participation and awareness programme under Yamuna Action Plan: Phase I - school segment
December 11, 2001 to
June 30, 2003
The project is a part of the Public Participation and Awareness Programme under the YAP project, funded at source by the Japan Bank for International Cooperation through MCD to ACORD. Eco clubs are to be set up in MCD schools in all the 12 zones in Delhi. The focus is to be on water and the Yamuna with an aim to build awareness. This is to be done through exposure trips, water monitoring in the Delhi Government schools, distribution of leaflets on the Yamuna and water, plays, painting competitions, song competitions, etc.

Isolation of phloem-specific promoter for tissue-specific expression of lectin genes in plants for insect resistance
May 1, 2000 to
April 30, 2003
@ Isolate and characterize phloem-specific promoters such as sucrose synthase promoter from B. juncea and Arabidopsis@ Carry out deletion analysis of the cloned promoter sequence to identify the core-promoter sequence
@ Perform genetic transformation of B. juncea with snow drop lectin gene under the control of CaMV35S and phloem-specific promoters
@ Test putative transgenic plants in lab for tissue-specific expression of lec GNA
@ Test putative transgenic plants for resistance against aphids under containments
