  David A. Animasaun (PhD) Research Visit to C. G. Bhakta Institute of Biotechnology, Uka Tarsadia University, Bardoli, India

  Dr. D. A. ANIMASAUN is a lecturer in the Department of Plant Biology, Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria. He was at GBIBT on staff research exchange programme between 2013-2015 to conduct part of his PhD research work.He worked extensively on DNA fingerprinting and genotyping; genomic size quantification and functional gene analysis of Nigerian and India accessions of pearl millet and napier grass. Under the mentorship of Prof. (Dr.) R. Krishnamurthy, the Director of CGBIBT and conducive researchenvironment of UTU, Dr David conducted high throughput research on flowering genes expression modeling Arabidopsis thaliana ABC flower genes using cutting edge technologies to unravel the inconsistent flowering pattern of napier grass. The outcome of his research findings were published in Gujarati Times in 2015 and highly reputable international journals.

  Dr David is presently in CGBIBT, UTU on a research visit (March-May2017) to complete some collaborative works and in areas of Plant biotechnology and molecular biology. He would also carry out collaborative research in the area of Plant tissue culture. DNA fingerprinting of important medicinal plants and comparative phytochemical analysis of active components of selected medicinal plants. His longtime research focus is on development of operon system and gene pyramiding for cereal crops. It is expected that he would interact with our M.Sc students and Research scholars on interesting research areas to foster and strengthen the MoU between UNILORIN and UTU.

  Dr David expressed his appreciation to the CGBIBT and UTU management team for the opportunity granted him to build capacity and enrich his research experience by interacting with the students and faculty members. He is also grateful to the Management, UNILORIN, for granting him permission and supports for the research visit.

• UTU - University of Ilorin, MoU collaborative research Press Note Publication
• Joint Research of UkaTarsadia University and Nigerian University (Unilorin) on Napier Grass(Elephant Grass)

  The Uka Tarsadia University (UTU), Bardoli, India has signed an MoU with University of Ilorin (Unilorin), Nigeria on 19th March 2013 for collaborative research and academic exchange. As a part of this move, Mr.David Animausan,Assistant Lecturer, Department of Plant Biology,Unilorin conducted his partial research with C.G.Bhakta Institute of Biotechnology(CGBIBT) ,UTU from November 2013 to March 2015 on Napier Grass under the guidance of Professor Dr.R.Krishnamurthy,Director,CGBIBT,UTU,India and Professor Dr. Morakiya,Deparment of Plant Biology, Unilorin, Nigeria. Mr.David has registered for his Ph.D. with University of Ilorin. The research is conducted to find out genetic relationship between Indian and Nigerian Bajra/pearl millet(Pennisetum glaucum) and Napier Grass(Pennisetum purpureum). Napier Grass is used as a cattle feed because of its rich nutritional content like protein(11%),fat(11%),fibre(33%), minerals(8%),calcium(0.7%) and phosphorous(0.3%).The napier grass is specially recommended for lactating cattle. Mr. David traced the evolution of napier grass (commonly known as Elephant Grass) from pearl millet (Bajra). He noticed that napier grass lost some of the original genetic material. Napier grass has greater chromosome numbers (tetraploid,2n = 4x = 28 ) with reduction of chromosome size. In Bajra, chromosome number is smaller (2n = 2x = 14) but with larger sized chromosome.During his stay in India, in addition to his research work, he taught the graduate students and also helped M.Sc. Dissertations. Some of these works has been published or are in process of publication in International journals. The provost Dr.Dinesh Shah and Management of UkaTarsadia University have appreciated the work.
