Terminology on Plant Physiology - Hardcover

Singh, B. Gopal: - B. Gopal Singh, Associate Dean and Professor of Plant Physiology, Agricultural college, ANGRAU, Aswaraopet, has taught Crop Physiology, Environmental Physiology, Seed Physiology, Herbicide Physiology to Under graduate and Post graduate students. He guided 29 M.Sc and 6 Ph.D students. He acted as member in several Research Advisory Committees. He has undergone higher training abroad under AHRD Programme of ANGR Agricultural University from January to April, 1999. Singh involved in analysis of transgenic tobacco plants carrying the genes involved in sulfur metabolism. He demonstrated that the plants carrying glutamine synthetase (GS) and sulfur metabolism (HAL 2) genes are able to produce high levels of glutathione and reduce lipid peroxidation induced due to oxidative stress. This is a significant finding and help in development of vigorous plants resistant to oxidative stressKumari, Aruna: - Aruna Kumari, Research Associate, and presently working a National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR). She worked on seed dormancy of rice under Dr. B. Gopal Singh. She won the Young Scientist Award for the best thesis presentation in the National Seminar of Plant Physiology held during 2001 at Dharwad.
