Ramanjulu Sunkar

editor of "Plant Stress Tolerance" Methods in Molecular Biology and Plant Stress Tolerance: Methods and Protocols

November 4, 2015

Dr. Ramanjulu Sunkar received his Masters in Science and Ph.D. from Sri Krishnadevaraya University, Anantapur, India. He obtained his post-doctoral training at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, University of Bonn, Germany and University of California, Riverside. In 2006, Dr. Sunkar joined the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, OSU as an Assistant Professor. His research primarily focuses on gene regulation during plant stress tolerance. Research in his laboratory funded by the USDA, NSF, OCAST, Oklahoma Tobacco Research Centre (OTRC), and Oklahoma Agricultural Experiment Station. He is an associate editor of BMC Plant Biology and BMC Genomics and serving on the editorial board of several other International peer-reviewed Journals.

A number of abiotic factors such as drought, salinity, extreme temperatures (very low and very high), low or high light intensity, deficiency or toxic levels of nutrients have huge impact on crop productivity, and a further understanding of the molecular, biochemical and physiological basis of stress tolerance has been widely recognized as critical. It is also critical that the available techniques are applied in an effective manner. Plant Stress Tolerance: Methods and Protocols, include a wide range of protocols catering to the needs of plant physiologists, biochemists and molecular biologists interested in probing plant stress tolerance. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective subjects, necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
