Significant achievements	1: RNAi-based gene silencing strategies conferring virus resistance in soybean and tomato (Oligonucleotides 17:251-257; Transgenic Res. 19:45-55; J. Plant Interact. 2(4):213-218) 2: A tool to evaluate the soybean genotypes for yellow mosaic disease resistance (which otherwise requires natural screening of genotypes at virus disease "hot spot") and viral quantification using the binary plasmids harbouring head-tail tandem dimers of MYMIV genomes (J. Virol. Methods https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jviromet.2019.03.002). 3: sRNA biomarkers for MYMIV resistance: Soybean derived miRNAs that potentially repress MYMIV genomes (Phytopath. 104 (11): 107, Current Science 110 (3): 424-428) and show antiviral capability (Physiol. Mol. Plant Path. 100: 13-22). 4: Elucidated the biological significance of host-derived, conserved miRNAs during virus infections (Virus Genes 48:1-14). 5: Virus detection assay: A PCR based assay to detect two major species of begomoviruses infecting soybean [Biotech J Int. 12(3): 1-10]. 6: Drought responsive transcripts ie) gmDRT1 and gmDRT2 from soybean cultivar NRC7 [Transcriptomics 3:105] use of phenomics tools for screening drought tolerance in soybean (Scientific Reports 7(1): 6958). 7: Host-virus interactions and molecular insights thereof with special reference to small RNAs [Viruses 9(9) 256; Gene 678:184-195]; Interactome map of Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) derived small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and host transcriptome [Virus Res. 238:13-23] ; Potyvirus-potato interactions : Potato virus Y derived small interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs) and the potato transcripts [Virol. J. 14:129]. 8: Genomics of phytopathogenic viruses: First report of complete genome of Potato mop-top virus (PMTV) infecting in Americas (Arch. of Virol. 159:3427-3433); First report of complete L RNA of TSWV in United States (BMC Res. Notes 9:200); Whole genome of MYMIV-sb isolate from Central India (Plant Omics 10(2): 88-96); Molecular evolutionary genomics of Iris yellow spot virus (Gene 547:111- 118), legume yellow mosaic viruses [Plant Omics 10(2): 88-96; Biotech. J. Intl. 12(3): 1-10); Soybean Res. 14(1): 01-12] and their implications for disease control. 9: Environmental risk assessment (ERA) features of genetically modified (GM) crops working on the principle of small RNAs and putative pit falls thereof (Mol. Biotech. 55:87-100; Virus Genes 48:1-14). 10: Soybean Genetic resources (Current Science 114 (4): 906-908; Ind J of Genet & Pl Breeding 75(3):382-385).
