He has published over 72 scientific research papers in reputed journals all over the world and in India. Attended several seminars, symposia, workshops, conferences and technical group meetings at national and International level. Written chapters in scientific books, bulletin and project reports recognized by the scientific communities.

He has initiated the work on biotechnology at Central Institute for Cotton Research in the year 1991. Established infrastructure facilities including instrumentation to carry out the research in cotton biotechnology includes development of Bt. Transgenic cotton, standardization of different tissue culture protocols, molecular breeding and DNA fingerprinting research. Recognizing the progress and importance of biotechnology Indian Council of Agricultural Research, New Delhi granted permission for establishment of separate division of biotechnology at CICR, Nagpur under his leadership. Presently CICR is known as one of the leading centers in cotton biotechnology in the country.

Technologies Developed:

  • Developed the Bt. Cotton in straight varieties of cotton which will be shortly available to the farmers.
  • Technologies for genetic transformation through agrobacterium mediated and biolistic bombardment have been developed in the CICR, Nagpur
  • Deferent protocols of cotton tissue culture developed which can be used for development of elite cultivar of cotton for the benefit of farmers and can be further exploited for the mass multiplication through micro propagation.
  • Techniques for determining the genetic purity of seeds have been developed on the basis of protein, isozyme and DNA finger printing. This technology can be used for varietal/ hybrid identification to screen the spurious seeds.
  • Basic research on symbiotic nitrogen fixation regarding interrelationship of bacteria with the host plant has been studied in great detail.
  • Research on biochemical constraints that determine the yield and quality of food grains have been carried out.
  • In view release of Genetically modified materials for commercialization the diagnostic tools have been developed to test and identify the material
