Bio
Arunabha Mitra
I have known Chiti for the past two years as we are both plant pathology graduate students at WSU working on our own doctoral research projects. Having studied through multiple courses together and interacted about our respective fields of research, I have come to know Chiti as a bright and intuitive scholar with acute interest in her project as well as in plant pathology research. She has excellent communication skills, is adept at public speaking, and deftly balances work with other aspects of her student life.

Identified Sources of resistance in mini-core chickpea collection from ICRISAT, India, and NPGR, U.S. to seed rot and pre-emergence damping-off caused by Pythium ultimum by developing cornmeal vermiculite inoculum.Performed genome-wide association mapping (GWAS) and quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping for resistance to diseases caused by metalaxyl resistant Pythium ultimum and Ascochyta rabiei using chickpea recombinant inbred lines (CRIL-7) and mini-core chickpea collection. Identified significant SNP molecular markers and candidate loci for resistance to seed damping-off and seed rot caused by Pythium ultimum and Ascochyta blight to improve chickpea breeding program.

Jul 2012 - Aug 2014
Worked on genome wide association mapping for agronomic traits of dry bean breeding population. Identified candidate genes associated with plant height, yield, 100- seed weight and, days to maturity.Conducted statistical analysis on the data collected from the fields and greenhouse. The results provided valuable SNP markers and genes for dry bean breeding program. Identificated and characterizated of new sources of resistance to white mold in dry beans breeding lines using SCAR, RFLP, SRAP, RAPD and SSR markers. Show less

Collected phenotypic data from bean fields and greenhouse, involved in harvesting and processing of the plant samples, generation increase by single seed descend method, recurrent selections, plant row selection, followed by primary and advanced yield trial. Worked in the wheat breeding lab and screened spring wheat populations in the greenhouse to identify Fusarium head blight disease-resistant genotypes and evaluated greenhouse and field data of North Dakota. Biometrical analysis of fossil seeds from Miocene-aged deposits in Antarctica using digital microscopy.Analyzed ACCase sequences and compared the mutation sites to identify herbicide-resistant or suseptible wild oat.
