Research Interests
Physiological
and biochemical changes under boron toxicity in differentially
sensitive and tolerant cultivars of barley.
Effect
of boron toxicity on the antioxidant enzyme (superoxide dismutase,
catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione reductase) activities.
Effect
of boron toxicity on lipid peroxidation and cell membrane
stability. Possible relationship between tolerance to excess boron
concentrations and antioxidant defence system in barley.
Professional
Skills
Native,
denaturating and 2-D gel electrophoresis techniques, negative
activity staining for determination SOD isoenzymes, silver
staining, proline content determination, spectrophotometric
methods for determination of enzyme activities, qualitative and
quantitative protein determination by several methods.
