Name : Dr. Sujata Tetali

Designation : Scientist – D

Brief Background :

My basic research training was in Cytogenetics and Plant breeding. Research topic for my Doctoral Degree was ‘Cytogenetic studies in Crotalaria Spp’. I studied mitotic and meiotic behaviour of 19 Crotalaria species and genetic diversity of 48 varieties of Crotalaria juncea.

After completion of my degree, I worked as Research Associate in developing Male sterile lines of Bajra in All India Co-ordinated Pearl Millet Improvement Project. The project involved large number of crosses in Pearl millet for developing male sterile lines, building of hybrids and testing their combining ability. It also involved multi-location trials for evaluation of promising hybrids and analysis of data from all centers.

Later on, Department of Science and Technology(DST), New Delhi awarded me a special woman scientist Project (WOS-B) entitled “Cultivation, harvesting, processing of Catharanthusroseus and Nothapodytesfoetida for the benefit of marginal women farmers.”

We educated and induced marginal women farmers of Bhima catchment area from Pune district of Maharashtra to cultivate medicinal plants in part of their farmland. The project involved extraction of two anticancer molecules viz. – Vinblastin sulphate and Camptothecin from Catharanthusroseus and Nothapodytesfoetida respectively.

DST also granted me another Woman Scientist Project (WOS-A) entitled “Haritarium – Preparation of digitized information database on threatened and endemic plants of Maharashtra”. The project helped in developing a digitalized mega database on endemic and threatened plants of Western Ghats. A software package for easy identification of Endemic and Threatened plant species of Western Ghats has been developed during the project.

My present research interest is in breeding grapes for disease resistance and seedlessness and implementation of molecular tools for grape improvement.

A project on molecular characterization of a seedless mutant in Grapes variety ARI 516 is in progress. Marker assisted selection for seedlessness in table grape breeding is also in progress.

Previously I was associated with International project on wheat entitled “Generating wheat germplasm with drought/heat tolerance using AB genome genetic diversity” – An international project of Generation Challenge program (GCP)funded by CGIAR.

During the course of this project, about 2,500 dicoccum based SHW (synthetic Hexaploid Wheat) and SBLs (Synthetic Backcross Lines) using A/B genome diversity were developed.
