Brief Statement of research work
My research work is related to plant stress physiology highlighting the effect of different abiotic stresses on the growth and development of food crops. Furthermore, the use of different strategies including the exogenous application of plant growth regulators for better growth and yield of crops.

Exploring the role of exogenous application of triacontanol on linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) yield and oil quality under salinity and drought stress-induced oxidative stress

20-3823/NRPU/R&D/HEC/14/525 |
Pakistan is facing extremely shortage of edible oil with local production of only 0.680 million tones that provide only 24% of domestic requirement while 76% is imported (GOP, 2010). Linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) is an oldest traditional oilseed crop. Salinity and drought stress significantly reduce growth and yield of oil crops in arid and semi-arid regions. Lot of management practices have been made to alleviate negative effects of salinity and drought stress on crop plants but the progress is very slow due to being time consuming. Of various strategies, exogenous application of plant growth regulators to metigate salinity and drought stress on crop plants is widely used these days. Triacontanol (TRIA) is a naturally occurring plant growth regulator that regulate growth, physiological and biochemical processes in plants under abiotic stresses. Objectives of the proposed project will be to assess the effect of exogenous application of TRIA on modulation of various growth, morphological and physiochemical traits of linseed plants under single and combined salinity and drought stress.
