13.   SALIENT ACADEMIC CONTRIBUTIONS :

 

(a)   Conducted extensive studies on soil salinity, water stress and metal toxicity induced key   metabolic alterations in rice plants. It has been shown that these stresses impair proteolysis, nitrogen assimilation, the process of photosynthesis and photosynthate partitioning by selectively influencing the activity behaviours of many enzymes. It has been shown that salinity and drought cause oxidative damage to rice plants by overproducing reactive oxygen species. The roles of individual components of antioxidative defense mechanism in combating drought and metals induced oxidative damage have been well established. Characterized the constitutive and inducible tolerance mechanisms like molecular isoforms of enzymes ribonucleases, peroxidases and superoxide dismutases associated with stressful conditions of soils salinity, water stress and metal toxicity. It has been shown that specific inducible peroxidase isoforms can be used as markers for screening salt tolerant cultivars of rice (Rice Biotechnology Quarterly, USA 1991, 8, 8-9) and that expression of a 18kDa protein is induced under Cd toxicity and this protein sequesters Cd by binding with its four -SH groups. Further, ascorbate peroxidase can be used as useful target to engineer Al tolerance in rice. A direct role of osmolytes as enzyme protectants and role of the metals Cd, Pb, Al, Ni in inducing oxidative damage in plants (Plant Science 2001,161:1135-1144, Plant Cell Reports 2007, 26:2027-2038, Plant Growth Regulation 2009 59:37-49) have been established.

(b)  Purified and characterized enterotoxins from the bacteria Aeromonas hydrophila and from different bio-type strains of Vibrio cholerae. A novel method was developed for the assay of cholera toxin using GM1-ELISA. This method has been very popular and widely cited including in Methods In Enzymology (Vol. 235, Part A, p. 521).

(c)   Established a novel system involving reverse micelles for entrapment and stabilization of many enzymes and the whole yeast and bacterial cells. For the first time it was shown that chloroplast organelles together with the bacteria Halobacterium halobium when entrapped within aqueous pockets of reverse micelles, could serve as novel tool to produce molecular hydrogen which could be used as clean fuel (International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, Vienna, 1999, 24, 693-698). Reverse micelles are formed as spheroidal aggregates when amphiphilic molecules (surfactants) are added in organic solvents. The interior of reverse micelles due to its polar nature provides suitable space to host whole microbial cells and plant organelles in aqueous medium.
