Plant Physiology Program

Facilities

Plant Physiology Program is equipped with laboratory, greenhouse and field testing facilities.

Spectrophotometry

• Quantitative measurements organic solutes i.e. Leaf chlorophyll, carbohydrates, proteins, proline and antioxidants etc.

Flame Photometry

Quantitative measurements inorganic solutes i.e.sodium and potassium ions concentration

Spectral reflectance techniques

• Infrared thermometry (crop canopy temperature measurement)
• Leaf chlorophyll (SPAD value)
• NDVI sensing (vegetation index measurements)
• Photosynthetic efficiency (Infrared Gas analyzer)

Morphological & agronomic traits measurements

 

Services

Sharing climatic stress tolerant crops germplasm with breeding programs to provide basis for the development of climate resilient crop cultivars.

Publishing Information in the form of research articles/ reports and brochures for stakeholders

Research supervision / training / facilities for scientists / students (Bachelor, Master, M.Phil. and Ph.D.)
