Scientific Activity
Dr. Sneh has been involved in teaching and research at ICGEB for the past one and a half decades. Her group has been focusing on understanding the basic responses of plants towards abiotic stresses such as salinity, drought and high temperature. Her group has developed various novel strategies to combat these stresses and thus has generated various products with improved tolerance to abiotic stress, in addition to improved nutrition and high yield. To carry out evaluation of these modified crop plants, she has developed state-of-the-art green house and screen house facility at ICGEB. She has been contributing to the overall functioning of the Institution being member of various vital committees such as Institutional Biosafety committee, Seminars committee, Purchase committee, Green house maintenance committee and PhD admissions committee. For training manpower from neighboring countries, she has also conducted various short duration theoretical and practical workshops at ICGEB. Besides this, she has coordinated a Centre of Excellence, DBT Project on “Translational program in agriculture biotechnology: developing transgenic rice for salinity/drought stress tolerance” along with several bi-national research programs and industry supported programs. Her lab has fetched international recognition where she has developed international collaboration for research with various Universities, such as UC Davis, and Washington University, USA, University of Melbourne, Australia, University of Helsinki, Finland, Utrecht University, Netherlands, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh, Bangladesh Rice Research Institute, Bangladesh and Koltzov Institute of Development Biology, Russia.
She has made outstanding contribution in establishing unequivocally the role of glyoxalase pathway, including many novel members, in plant stress physiology. She has also assigned functions to many hypothetical proteins in stress responses and has developed marker-free transgenic rice plants, which can grow and yield high in saline and dry lands.
