Myself, K. Padmasree, Professor in the Department of Biotechnology and Bioinformatics, School of Life Sciences, University of Hyderabad (UoH), Hyderabad, India, is working in the area of Plant Physiology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology. I was born on 17th Feb 1968 in an educated middle class family in Guntur district.  I qualified in Master’s (Biochemistry, 1989) and Ph.D. (Plant Sciences, 1998), both at UoH. Also, worked as CSIR-Post-Doc (Plant Sciences, 1998-2001) at UoH, India  and Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellow (2005-2006 & 2007) at University of Osnabruck, Germany. I joined the Faculty fraternity at UoH as Lecturer in 2001 and promoted as Associate Professor (2013) and Professor (2016), I am working in the direction of (i) metabolic interactions between chloroplasts & mitochondria and (ii) purification & structure-function relationships of two defense proteins – (a) Mitochondrial Alternative Oxidase (AOX) and (b) Proteinaceous seed Proteinase Inhibitors (PIs) using various physiological, biochemical, biophysical, rDNA technology, metabolic and proteomic approaches. Guided 8 students for their PhD Degree (besides six ongoing Ph.D. students); published 56 research papers in National & International Journals, Book Chapters/Proceedings/NCBI submissions; completed Ten Research Projects (DBT, DST, CSIR and UGC). Also, guided 47 project students for project dissertations/interships (both internal and external) and participated in several national and international conferences (108).

Area(s) of Research Interest:

My research team is actively working on two agriculturally important defense proteins, (i) Novel seed proteinaceous proteinase inhibitors (PIs) and (ii) Mitochondrial Alternative Oxidase (AOX). These proteins are expressed under both biotic and abiotic stress conditions in plants

I.     Novel Seed Proteinase Inhibitors in Pest management and Therapeutics

Our research team focused on screening, identification, purification and characterization of novel seed proteinaceous proteinase inhibitors (PIs) useful in protecting crop plants against insect pests. The biochemical and biophysical properties of PIs, their structure-function relationship was extensively studied from legume crop plants such as redgram, blackgram, greengram, chickpea and peanut. These PIs showed specificity in inhibiting the larval gut proteases of different lepidopteran pests such as Achaea janata, Manduca sexta, Spodoptera litura and Helicoverpa armigera. The design of novel PI bioformulations and testing its efficacy in the green house is underway.

Also, a few medicinal properties such as anticoagulant and antioxidant properties are identified for the PIs from legume crops.

Collaborators:

1)      Late Prof. Aparna Dutta Gupta (Dept. Animal Biology & Biotechnology, UoH)

2)      Prof. Saradadevi Tetali (Dept. Plant Sciences, UoH)

3)      Dr. Nalini Mallikarjuna & Dr. Jagdish Jaba (ICRISAT, Hyderabad)

 

Significant Achievements :

1.      The biochemical and biophysical properties of Bowman-Birk Inhibitors (BBI) and Kunitz Inhibitors (KI) from cultivated and wild-relatives of pigeonpea, blackgram and peanut are revealed.

2.      The PIs when supplemented in the diet, they either retarded larval growth and developed abnormal larval-pupal / pupal-adult intermediates in the life cycle (or) induced mortality in lepidopteran larvae.

3.      Cajanus cajan (pigeonpea) is identified as an important non-host resource for PIs active against larval midgut proteinases of a lepidopteran pest A. janata.

4.      The BBI from peanut is effective in the management of a polyphagous pest
H. armigera.

5.      Both BBI and KI are separated from the seeds of Rhynchosia sublobata with significant specific activity.

6.      BBI and KI differed in their molecular mass, secondary structural elements and temperature stability.

7.      BBI and KI from R. sublobata differed in their specificity to interact with the gut proteases of A. janata and H. armigera. While BBI is effective in the management of A. janata, the KI is effective in the management of H. armigera.

8.      Both BBI and KI genes are cloned from R. sublobata seeds.

9.      The Kunitz/Miraculin-like PIs purified from C. platycarpus, a wild-relative of pigeonpea showed specificity towards gut proteases of H. armigera and provided evidences for its management.

Thus, these contributions added knowledge to the basic research which in turn can be applied to crop protection from polyphagous pests and improve productivity of crop plants.

 

II. Significance of Mitochondrial cyanide resistant Alternative Oxidase (AOX)
       Pathway in Sustaining Photosynthesis

 

We also worked extensively in revealing the significance of a mitochondrial cyanide resistant AOX pathway in sustaining chloroplastic photosynthesis. The concept was established using the system of mesophyll protoplasts as well as leaf discs as experimental material by over lapping both metabolic inhibitors and transgenic/reverse genetic approaches in model plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana and Pisum sativum. The molecular mechanisms involved in interactions between chloroplasts and mitochondria are explored. Further, the significance of AOX pathway in optimizing photosynthesis in C4 plants is under way. Besides, the recombinant AOX1a isoform from the model plant A. thaliana was purified and functionally characterized using E. coli and S. cereviceae.

Collaborators:

1) Prof. A.S. Raghavendra (Dept. Plant Sciences, UoH)

2) Prof. Renate Scheibe (University of Osnabrueck, Germany).

3) Prof. Saradadevi Tetali (Dept. Plant Sciences, UoH)

4) Prof. P.B. Kirti (Dept. Plant Sciences, UoH)

5) Prof. B. Senthil Kumaran (Dept. Animal Biology & Biotechnology, UoH)

Significant Achievements :

1.      AOX pathway optimize photosynthesis, particularly under high light stress by dissipating excess reducing equivalents from chloroplasts through (i) operation of specific metabolite shuttles related to cellular redox state (Malate-OAA shuttle) as well as reactive oxygen species (Asc-Glu cycle); (ii) modulating enzymatic activities of both Calvin cycle and antioxidant metabolism .

2.      The AOX1a isoform play a significant role over AOX1d isoform in not only optimizing photosynthesis but also protecting it from photoinhibition.

III. Exploitation of the potential of Lignin Nanoparticles as Matrix in preparation of
       Nanobioformulations
:

Spherical shaped nanoparticles are fabricated from Subabul stem lignin using nanoprecipitation method. These lignin nanoparticles possessed significant antioxidant and UV-protectant properties and utilized in preparation of diuron nanobioformulation by optimizing the process parameters of nanoprecipitation method. The diuron loaded lignin nanoparticles did not show any negative affect on the seedling growth and development, and is considered as a ‘eco-friendly’ as well as a ‘non-toxic’ carrier for the dispersal of natural products such as herbicides, fertilizers and pesticides.
