In brief, during my doctoral work I was involved in elucidating the genomic network of cotton plant during drought condition and fiber development. My study demonstrated the importance of the differential expression genes during drought condition and fiber development. (Manuscript Under review in Plant physiology). During this study I further established the role various genes and transcription factor during drought condition and developmental stages of fiber. I am presently studying the role of various signaling molecules which coexist in the network of gene regulation during drought condition and fiber development. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:150%'><span style='color:black'>During my doctoral work I was exposed to various molecular and biochemical techniques and I would say that I have expertise in molecular biology techniques like, Microarray expression, 454 GFX pyrosequencing, QGE Sequenome Mass Array, Real Time PCR, molecular cloning, and other molecular biology techniques.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:150%'><span style='color:black'>I am sure and confidant my expertise will be asset to your laboratory and I can contribute significantly to ongoing projects.
