Understanding plant developmental phenomena at tissue, cell and molecular level is important in biology and subsequent applications in biotechnology. Using cellular and molecular techniques, the department is involved in following studies:
- Cell cycle and its regulation, senescence and programmed cell death
- Cytology and cytogenetics of the cell and gene silencing
- Apomixy and its genetics
- Development of cytological markers, ploidy and aneuploidy stocks, their maintenance and use
- Wide crossing for transferring desirable traits from wild species to crop plants
- Identification of useful genes to be used in agriculture
