    Project Name:Exogenously applied 24-Epibrassionolide (EBL) ameliorates detrimental effcets of salinity by reducing K+ efflux via depolarization -activated K+ channels (Stress physiology laboratory, University of Tasmania, Australia).Objective: To investigate downstream targets of EBL and impact of exogenous application of EBLon kinetics of net ion fluxesand tissue ionic relationsin salt stressed plants.Key tasks: 1. Developed keen understanding of laboratory methods, which included Micro Electrode Iona Estimation (MIFE) technique, aerated hydroponic culture, vapour pressure osmometer,flame photometer.2. Established ion flux measuring protocols by using Microelectroe ion flux estimation (MIFE) technique in arabidopsis and barley.3. Kept laboratory equipment clean and in good working order for optimal functionality and longevity.4. Performed analysis at whole plant level and he deeper insight at cellular level by using Microelectrode Ion Flux Estimation (MIFE) technique.5. Checked the effect of epibrassionlide (EBL) on seed germination and growth rate, root/shoot length, relative water content, osmolality,K+ and H+ flux on barley roots and arabidopsis mutanats.Project outcomes: 1. The results clearly showed that the exogenoulsy applied EBL ameliorates detrimental effects of salinityby reduced K+ efflux via gated outward rectifying K+ channels (GORKs), most probably as a result of EBL induced activation of H+-ATPase activity. 2. The novelty of this project is in the form of a research publication in “Plant and Cell physiology” and published paper has been recommended in F1000Prime as being of special significance in its field by F1000 Faculty Member Ramón Serrano.
