I am listing here some interseting topics which can help you in your research work.
Hybridization in Plants: Old Ideas, New Techniques:
Hybridization has played an important role in the evolution of many lineages. Availability of genomic tools is increasing and with advancements in genomic analyses, it ihas become increasingly clear that gene flow between divergent taxa can generate new phenotypic diversity, allow for adaptation to novel environments, and contribute to speciation. There are many hypotheses concerning how and why hybridization contributes to biological diversity and which are currently being investigated. These hypotheses were first proposed tens and even hundreds of years ago. Therefore in your research work you can discuss how new advancements in genomic and genetic tools are revolutionizing our ability to document the occurrence of and investigate the outcomes of hybridization in plants.
3D Analysis of Plant Roots Growing in Soil Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI):
For plant phenotyping, precise measurements of root system architecture traits sre an important requirement. Most of the current methods available for analyzing root growth need either artificial growing conditions, are severely restricted in the fraction of roots detectable, or they are destructive. Whereas, modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are noninvasive and allow high-quality 3-D imaging of roots in soil. In your research work, yo can discuss about plant root imaging and analysis pipeline using MRI together with an advanced image visualization and analysis software toolbox.
Functional Prediction and origin of Pollen Allergens in Plants:
Pollen allergies have been a major pandemic health problem for human for long. Although, the evolutionary events and biological function of pollen allergens in plants are still unknown. In your research work, discuss about the genome-wide prediction of pollen allergens and their biological function in the dicotyledonous model plant Arabidopsis or also called Arabidopsis thaliana and the monocotyledonous model plant rice or Oryza sativa.
