Welcome to Agri Vision-2025
Dr. Prasanta Kumar Subudhi is a Professor in School of Plant, Environmental, and Soil Sciences, Louisiana State University Agricultural Center, USA. He served as Associate Professor, LSU Agricultural Center (2007-2013), Assistant Professor (2001-2007), Postdoctoral Researcher, Texas Tech University (1996-2000), Project Scientist, International Rice Research Institute, Philippines (1994-1996). He has completed his B.S. in Agriculture, Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology, 1982, M.S. in Agriculture (Plant Breeding & Genetics), Orissa Univ. of Agric.and Technology, 1984 and Ph.D. in Genetics, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, 1992.
He taught Applied Plant Genomics (AGRO 7080). This graduate level course is offered in fall of each odd year. The objective of this course is to familiarize the students to the modern molecular and genomics tools, which are now routinely used in both private and public sector plant breeding programs.
Dr. Subudhi brings with him experience and expertise on conventional plant breeding, molecular breeding, and genomics in five important food crops: wheat, Brassica, sorghum, soybean, and rice. His current research interests are development of climate-smart rice varieties, genetics of aflatoxin resistance, development of corn inbred and hybrids with resistance to aflatoxin accumulation, genetics of domestication traits, and germplasm characterization. The ultimate goal of his research projects is to apply novel plant breeding and genomics tools to develop improved field crops with superior agronomic attributes and climate-resilience. He has published 80+ Research articles, and 10+ Book chapters.
