| Post Name | Research Associate, Project Associate |
| Project Name | Investigating the thermosensing mechanism of Camellia sinensis mitochondrial superoxide dismutase underlining its activation and stability at temperature extremes (GAP-0351) |
| Project Description | This project focuses on understanding how tea plants use a special internal "sensor" to protect themselves from extreme heat and cold. By studying a specific protein called superoxide dismutase (SOD) found in the plant's energy centers, the research into agricultural health aims to figure out how tea stays healthy even when the weather is very harsh. This project is funded by the CSIR-Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology (CSIR-HBT) to ensure that the nation can continue to grow high-quality tea as global temperatures change. The goal is to provide a better treatment for our national crop standards by learning the plant's natural defense secrets, helping the whole community enjoy a more stable and healthy farming future. |
