Prof. Yelam Sreenivasulu obtained his master
degree in Plant Sciences from Vikram University and secured GOLD MEDAL, and
also obtained his M.Phil and Ph.D degrees from the same university. Prof.
Sreenivasulu has more than 22 years of research experience in Plant Proteomics, Plant Transgenics, Plant Genomics and Plant Reproductive
Developmental Biology.
Lab interest:
The
plant life cycle alternates between a diploid sporophyte and a haploid
gametophyte generation. Sporophytes to
gametophyte transition, control of gametogenesis and gamete cell specification
are
the important open questions in plant reproductive biology. Prof. Sreenivasulu lab interest is to understand the molecular
mechanisms that coordinate the mitotic-to-meiotic and meiotic-to-mitotic
transitions and cell specification during the gametophyte development in
Arabidopsis. The findings will provide important leads for
developing new methods for fixation of hybrid vigour in plants.
Prof.
Sreenivasulu has guided 5 students towards their PhDs and
17 students for their M.Sc. projects. At present, four PhD students and two
Post-Doctoral Fellows (One SERB-NPDF and One Kothari Fellow) are working
in his group. Currently, his lab research activities are supported by the
grants from the DST-SERB and IoE (UoH).
