I worked as a Research Assistant in a short term project entitled “Impact of salinity induced ROS accumulation on pollen
and spikelet fertility and yield of rice and beneficial roles of exogenous ascorbic acid in modulating salt stress tolerance”.
That enabled me◦ to enhance lab work experiences with modern laboratory instruments viz., centrifuge machine, water bathmachine, spectrophotometer machine, vortex machine◦ to work out with hydroponic culture◦ to determine biochemical tests viz., Malondialdehyhe (MDA), Hydrogen peroxide (H 2O 2), chlorophyll content◦ to acquire professional expertise and hands-on experience.
