Plant tissue culture

· Involved in developing four varieties and one hybrid in coconut

· Explored islands of Lakshadweep and reported niu vai type of coconut.

· Identified three distinct types in Laccadive ordinary cultivar.

· Developed the concept of in situ conservation and participatory characterization in coconut

· Explored, collected and accessioned sweet kernel coconut germplasm.

· Involved in developing inbreds in coconut.

· Explored and collected wild germplasm of Oryza from western and southern Orissa.

· Explored and collected land races of Boro rice from Assam.

· Involved in collection and conservation of endangered species of Vanilla and Piper.

· Studied somaclonal variation in ginger especially with regard to yield, resistance to rhizome rot, dry recovery and quality.

· Developed tissue culture protocols in ginger, cardamon, turmeric, black pepper, long pepper and cinnamon for large scale multiplication.
