Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Gajanan R Saykhedkar"
- Gajanan R Saykhedkar's recent research focuses on improving maize resistance to sorghum downy mildew and enhancing its nutritional content through molecular breeding techniques, particularly emphasizing the use of quantitative trait loci (QTL) and genome-wide association studies (GWAS).
- In a 2022 study, Saykhedkar identified QTLs associated with resistance to sorghum downy mildew using a recombinant inbred line population, providing insights that could help combat this significant agricultural threat.
- A 2018 article highlighted the identification and validation of genomic regions linked to increased kernel zinc and iron content in maize, suggesting that molecular breeding could play a pivotal role in addressing global under-nutrition by bio-fortifying this staple crop.
