Mridul Chakraborti
Dr. Mridul Chakraborti is a Senior Scientist in Crop Improvement Division of ICAR-National Rice Research Institute, Cuttack, Odisha, India. He has wide experience of working with different model organisms like Drosphila, maize and rice. He was involved in developing world’s largest ploidy series (up to 11x ploidy level) through partitioning of apomixis in guinea grass. He has also identified the mechanism of induced apomixis in scented orchid Zygopetalum. In case of Egyptian clover, he has developed series of interspecific hybrids and novel genetic stocks. His current research interest is development of genomic resources for wild and cultivated rice for imparting biotic and abiotic stress tolerance.
