Development of hyphal fusion mechanism in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in vitro

April 1, 2002 to September 30, 2006
| Completed Project

The project envisages for the first time use of hyphal fusion method known to be used for other fungi. The use of such a technique was not possible due to non-availability of complete lifecycle on semi synthetic media. The developed technology of growing AMFs (arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi) in vitro at TERI has paved way of employing such techniques for developing genetic variants.

Molecular characterization of tea germplasm

December 1, 2001 to March 20, 2009
| Completed Project

The objective is to throw light on the existing genetic diversity in tea and help in taking proper action towards its conservation and utilization. This would be achieved through analysing the genetic diversity of existing tea germplasm using the AFLP-based markers.
