Phytoplasma are specialized bacteria that are obligate parasites of plant phloem tissue and transmitting insects (vectors) which were discovered in 1967 and belong to the new taxon Candidatus phytoplasma. Evaluation of the genetic variability of phytoplasma infecting various flowering plants, vegetables and other commercially important plants with the symptoms of phyllody, virescence, witches' broom (shoot proliferation), apical dwarfing and yellowing of leaves were collected from different areas of local region. DNA was extracted from the plants through the extraction method was used to obtain DNA which was used in PCR. The method used is based on modified protocol on MLO enrichment and maintenance in an osmotic supplemented buffer, with polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP) to complex polyphenolic compound followed by selective precipitation of nucleic acids using cetyl tri-methyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium chloride.PCR assays were carried out using generic and broad spectrum primers based on conserved sequences. The findings of this research will yield to new knowledge about the plant and insect host ranges, geographical distribution and phylogenetic relationship of phytoplasmas and thus developing a unique taxonomic system for distinct phytoplasmas.

In Silico Search for Potential siRNA Sequences to Develop Begomovirus Resistant Plants
This was my first step towards biotechnological research. This was a curiosity driven initiative in school wherein I tried to analyze the potency of capsules (containing fibrous stem of banana tree) which bursts at acidic pH and neutralizes it to pH 7.0, the aim of this project was to use them to aid people suffering from hyperacidity.
