Current Projects:

• Genetic enhancement of condiment mustard (Sinapis alba and Brassica juncea) germplasm
• Development of high-yielding condiment yellow mustard (Sinapis alba) by using heterosis in synthetic varieties
• Development of high-yielding hybrid cultivars using the Ogura cms system in brown and oriental mustard (Brassica juncea).
