Completed Projects
Isolation of phloem-specific promoter for tissue-specific expression of lectin genes in plants for insect resistance
May 1, 2000 to
April 30, 2003
@ Isolate and characterize phloem-specific promoters such as sucrose synthase promoter from B. juncea and Arabidopsis@ Carry out deletion analysis of the cloned promoter sequence to identify the core-promoter sequence
@ Perform genetic transformation of B. juncea with snow drop lectin gene under the control of CaMV35S and phloem-specific promoters
@ Test putative transgenic plants in lab for tissue-specific expression of lec GNA
@ Test putative transgenic plants for resistance against aphids under containments

April 1, 2001 to
April 30, 2003
This project included the following activities:1/ Develop acidic-sludge-degrading bacterial consortium;
2/ Select most efficient bacterial strains;
3/ Identify intermediate metabolic products arisen during degradation of acidic-alkane compounds.

National Joint Forest Management Support Centre - Haryana
July 1, 2001 to
January 31, 2003
TERI has extensively worked and collaborated with Haryana Forest Department for integrating the concept of participatory forest management. The programme over different phases of TERIs involvement has progressed from the project approach to process approach. In order to further strengthen the programme in Haryana, the following services are proposed:
@ Assist HFD in Dam maintenance
@ Guide HFD in Systematic record keeping
@ Assist HFD in baseline survey and micro-plan preparation
@ Organized a worked on second generation issues in JFM

January 31, 2003
@ Carry out literature survey and collect secondary data@ Design laboratory prototype for proof of concept
@ Finalize field prototype unit through laboratory trial testing
@ Fabricate and field-install the system
@ Field-test and demonstrate the system
@ Finalize design of gasifier-based crematorium system
