Project Overview
To identify and multiply pistillate/parental lines of castor with distinct sex expression pattern under defined conditions. To identify the floral developmental stages in castor parental lines/varieties. To elucidate the cytogenetic and epigenetic mechanisms of sex expression in castor. To evaluate the role of coding and non coding transcripts in sex expression in castor
