Biography
Dr.Sehroon worked in different research areas and fought against chemical pesticides or plastics wastes, which are hazardous for both environment and humans. My research directions are isolation of fungi from soil and other dumping sites that could be utilized for applied side in various aspects to keep the environment safe. For example, isolation of entomopathogenic fungi or plastics biodegrading fungi that could have direct effect on ecosystem conservation. Similarly, isolation of insect toxin proteins from entomopathogenic fungi and identification of their gene sequence and their secretion expression in endophytic bacteria, the characterization of the engineered strain on biological control.Besides these, Dr.Sehroon is working on isolation and identification of elicitors proteins from phytopathogenic fungi/oomycetes, and determination of their gene sequence. My research interest also include the plant immunity mechanism involved in the Systemic Acquired Resistance pathways on molecular level, or developing biological based pesticides to kill the pests through environmentally safe biogenic compounds. More recently, I get involved in isolation, identification, and phylogenetic classification of micro and macro fungi based on morpho-molecular and phylogenetic analyses of ITS rDNA regions
