Name : Dr Abhinandan Surgonda Patil

Designation : Researcher (Ramalingaswami Re-entry Fellow)

Brief Background :

Dr Abhinandan S. Patil, working as Ramalingaswami Re-entry Fellow (Equivalent to Scientist D/ Assistant Professor) in the Department of Genetics and plant breeding at Agharkar research institute, Pune, His research focused on “Breeding for high-yielding elite soybean cultivars with climate/disease resilience and end-use quality traits by multi-parent hybridisation and genomic-assisted selection” (Sposered by-The Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India). Previously, He worked internationally (for six years) with IRRI (Philippines), PGBI, CALS, SNU (South Korea), and the ARO-Volcani Center (Israel). He had an academic/professional research work experience in agricultural sciences, particularly in research and development related to improving the yield and component traits via field, molecular and transgenic plant breeding in soybean, rice, capsicum, peanut, castor, safflower, mustard, Desmodium, drumstick, chickpea, finger millet, mango, clementine, avocado, and wheat crops.

  • Doctorate of Philosophy (PhD), Genetics and Plant Breeding, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh, Dissertation: Crop Improvement Unit, ICAR-Directorate of Groundnut Research (ICAR-DGR), Junagadh, India
  • Master of Science (MSc Agriculture), Plant Breeding and Genetics, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, India
  • Post-Graduate Diploma In Intellectual Property Rights (PGDIPR), Indira Gandhi National Open University, New Delhi, India
  • To develop the Multi-parent Advanced Generation Intercross (MAGIC) population in soybean. High-yielding, early maturity (<90-95 days) elite soybean cultivars with nutritionally enhanced quality traits (oil and protein) for wider agronomic adaptability through the integration of multi-parent hybridisation, speed breeding techniques, and genomic aided selections
  • Targeted integration of practical and durable multiple disease resistance genes (haplotypes) in soybean cultivars to withstand fungal (Rust), bacterial (blight), and viral (mosaic) diseases
  • Improvement of nutritional quality (Oleic acid/Soy isoflavone/Sucrose) of soybean by reducing anti-nutritional factors (Null LOX II/KTI-Kunitz trypsin inhibitor/Phytase) using molecular marker approaches to apt for end-use quality (Vegetable and Food grade soybean)
  • To identify novel Marker Trait Associations (MTAs)/Multi-trait Quantitative Traits Loci (MT-QTL)/haplotypes and to study Genotype х Environment x Management (different crop management practices) (G x E x M) interactions for the targeted trait of interest including climate resilience traits like water-logging tolerance and long juvenility
