Department of Plant Physiology
Culture of sugarcane plants by Nutrient Film Technique (NFT)
Once a part of the Department of Biological
Sciences, the Department of Plant Physiology came into existence in
1987. The major research thrust areas of the Department include
etiology of mango malformation, mechanism of ion transport in plants,
somatic embryogenesis in cereals, tree biology and molecular biology of
photosynthesis. The Department is also trying to develop techniques of
micro-nutrient application in agricultural crops and development of
new cultivars for mass propagation through tissue culture. It has well
equipped laboratories having infra-red gas analyser, ultracentrifuge,
UV-visible spectrophotometer, plant effiecy analyzer, electrophoresis
unit, southern and western blot unit and tissue culture facilities.
