Highlights of the contribution to the area of specialization I have more than twenty-four years of research experience including two years of Post doc in USA in the area of Plant Genomics and Biotechnology. Recent highlights of my contribution in specialized areas are as follows: Pathway elucidation and engineering for secondary plant products and metabolites Main focus has been to study metabolic pathways and regulation of gene expression involved in biosynthesis of important molecules beneficial to human health and enhanced nutritional quality. To engineering of non-leguminous plants for biosynthesis and accumulation of isoflavonoids, isolated isoflavone synthase (IFS) gene from a traditional medicinal plant Psoralea corylifolia and expressed in non-leguminous plants. The developed transgenic plants showed significant high accumulation of isoflavones in flower petals however no accumulation was observed id leaf tissue (Misra et al., Plant Cell Reports 2010a). Transgenic tobacco and tomato plants developed using various transcription factors with increased biosynthesis and accumulation of the substrate flux for IFS as well as flavonols (Misra et al., Plant Physiology 2010b; Pandey et al., Plant Cell Reports 2012; Pandey et al., Scientific Reports 2014; Pandey et al., Scientific Reports 2015a; Pandey et al., Plant Cell Reports 2015b). Global-gene expression and metabolome in different tissues of the transgenic lines of tobacco and tomato suggested role of AtMYB12 in regulation number of pathways, leading to flux availability for phenylpropanoid pathway in general and flavonol biosynthesis in particular (Misra et al., Plant Physiology 2010b; Pandey et al., Scientific Reports 2015a). Demonstrated involvement of light associated factors in regulation of flavonoid biosynthesis (Bhatia et al., Plant Cell Physiology, 2018). The transgenic tobacco lines expressing AtMYB12 showed significant resistance against two major insect pests, S. litura and H. armigera due to enhanced accumulation of rutin and role of rutin for insect resistance has been well validated through artificial miRNA (Misra et al., Plant Physiology 2010b; Pandey et al., Plant Cell Reports 2012). Transgenic tobacco plants developed with co-expression of AtMYB12 and GmIFS showed substantial accumulation of genistein glycoconjugates to the highest levels that could be engineered in tobacco leaves till date. Estrogen deficient (ovariectomized, Ovx) mice fed with leaf extract from the transgenic plant coexpressing AtMYB12 and GmIFS showed improved bone health (Pandey et al., Plant Biotechnology Journal 2014). Extracts from AtMYB12 expressing flavonol enriched tomato fruit led to the modulation in chondrogenesis to increase bone length in growing animals (Chaudhari et al., Scientific Reports 2016). Identified and functionally characterized miRNA which targets MYB transcription factors involved in regulation of phenylpropanoid pathway. Analysis of miR858 overexpressing and mimic lines suggests involvement of this miRNA in plant growth and development and flavonoid biosynthesis (Sharma et al., Plant Physiology 2016). Established transcriptome sequences of three distinct chemotypes of Withania somnifera (leaf and root) with distinct chemical profiles. Established correlation of transcriptome with metabolic profile and identified genes involved in biosynthesis of specific withanolides (Gupta et al., PLoS One 2013; Gupta et al., Scientific Reports 2015; Agrarwal et al., 2017). Developed Withania omics database which ready for the release. Validated involvement of number of genes in withanolide biosynthesis through Virus Induced Gene Silencing (VIGS) approach (Agarwal et al., Plant cell and Physiology, 2018). Established a genetic transformation system for Withania somnifera and has characterized important genes involved in biosynthesis of withanolides (Pandey et al., Plant Cell Reports 2010; Gupta et al., Plant Growth Regulation 2011; Gupta et al., Protoplasma 2013; Akhtar et al., Protoplasma 2013; Agarwal et al., Functional and Integrative Genomics 2017). Established transcriptome of poppy germplam lines BR086 and pap1 mutant and identified key genes and transcription factors putatively involved in papaverine biosynthesis as well as other alkaloids (Pathak et al. PLoS One 2013; Agarwal et al., Protoplasma 2016). Established high frequency somatic embryogenesis and regeneration systems (Pathak et al., Plant Growth Regulation 2012) as well as Virus Induced Gene Silencing (VIGS) protocol for functional genomics of poppy. Established comprehensive transcriptomes datasets of neem (Azadirahta indica) and identified gene networks involved in azadirachtin biosynthesis pathway (Bhambani et al., Scientific Reports 2017). Used CRISPR/Cas9 approach to establish involvement of small peptide (miPEP858) encoded by pri-miR858 and established regulatory role of miPEP in controlling expression of various genes and biological processes (Sharma et al., 2020, Nature Plants). Environmental Biotechnology Carried out extensive studies and suggested that phytochelatins (PC) and antioxidant systems play important role in detoxification of heavy metals in different plants (Srivastava et al., Environ Sci Technol 2007; Mishra et al., Aquat Toxicol 2008; Mishra et al., Bioresour Technol 2009; Shri et al., Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety 2009; Dwivedi et al., Protoplasma 2010a; Dwivedi et al., J Hazard Mater 2010b; Singh et al., Bioresour Technol 2010a; Singh et al., Protoplasma 2010b; Tripathi et al., Environ Monit Assess 2012; Dwivedi et al., Environment International, 2012; Tripathi et al., Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2012; Tripathi et al., Ecological Engineering 2013; Tripathi et al., Environmental Science and Pollution Research 2013; Dave et al., Journal of Hazardous Materials 2013; Dixit et al., Plant Physiology and Biochemistry 2015). PC synthase gene isolated from the aquatic plant, Ceratophyllum demersum and developed transgenic plants. Transgenic plants showed significant enhanced tolerance and accumulation to different heavy metals (Shukla et al., Plant Cell Reports 2012; Shukla et al., Protoplasma 2013a). Rice transgenic lines expression this PC gene showed significantly reduced arsenic content in grain suggesting that this gene can be used to develop low arsenic accumulating rice varieties (Shri et al., Scientific Reports 2014). With transgenic approach, successfully demonstrated that synthetic phytochelatins can be used to enhance accumulation of heavy metal and loids for phytoremediation application (Shukla et al., Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications 2013b). The effect of different heavy metals on genome-wide expression has been studied in rice. Studies suggests that common as well different metabolic networks operate for detoxification of different heavy metals in plants (Chakrabarty et al., Chemosphere 2009; Tuli et al., Molecular Breeding 2010; Dubey et al., BMC Genomics 2010; Rai et al., Chemosphere 2011, Kumar et al., Functional and Integrative Genomics 2011; Kumar et al., Journal of Hazardous Materials 2013; Kumar et al., Plant Molecular Biology Reports 2013; Rai et al., Plant Genome 2015). Identified miRNAs involved in contrasting arsenic stress response in different rice cultivars (Sharma et al., Metallomics 2015). Functionally characterized various genes and showed their involvement in heavy metal tolerance, accumulation and transport (Tiwari et al., Scientific Reports 2014; Tiwari et al., Plant Cell and Environment 2014; Kumar et al., Journal of Hazardous Materials 2013, Kumar et al., Plant Signaling and Behaviour 2015; Rai et al., PLoS One 2015). Studied natural variation in Arabidopsis and suggested differential regulatory mechanism in various ecotypes under arsenic stress (Shukla et al., Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015; Khare et al., Journal of Hazardous Materials 2017; Shukla et al., Journal of Hazardous Materials 2018; Khare et al., Journal of Hazardous Materials 2019) Molecular Basis of Fruit Ripening Identified and characterized genes responsible for ethylene biosynthesis, perception as well as genes responsible for fruit quality in apple. The ACS1 and ERS1 genes were established to play regulatory role in apple fruit ripening (Asif et al., Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry 2006; Asif et al., South African Journal of Botany 2009). During banana ripening, activities of the cell wall hydrolases PME, PG, cellulase and PL studied showed that ripening is largely dependent on ethylene production and in planta perception by banana fruit tissue (Lohani et al., Postharvest Biology and Technology 2004). Different fruit-specific and ripening-related genes and promoters from banana isolated and characterized (Trivedi et al., Plant Science 2004; Kesari et al., Postharvest Biology and Technology 2007; Kesari et al., Postharvest Biology and Technology 2010). Developed transgenic tomato and banana plants with delayed ripening (Batra et al., Current Science 2010). Established transcriptomes of ripe and unripe banana fruit and identified gene networks involved in fruit ripening (Asif et al., BMC Plant Biology 2014). Identified members of different gene families as well as miRNAs which might be involved in banana fruit ripening (Asif et al., Functional and Integrative Genomics, 2014; Lakhwani et al., Scientific Reports 2015; Pandey et al., Scientific Reports 2016; Goel et al., Functional and Integrative Genomics 2016).
