\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nRibosomal proteins (RP) are important house keeping proteins and are involved in ribosome assembly \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nand protein synthesis in the cell. Professor Kirti’s recent work has concentrated on the extra-ribosomal functions of ribosomal proteins, both large subunit (RPL) and smaall subunit proteins (RPS). \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nThe screening of an activation tagged population of rice and characterization of the activation tagged \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nmutants have resulted in the identification of two large Subunit genes RPL6 and RPS23A in water use \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nefficiency and photosynthetic efficiency in rice (Moin et al. 2016). This has lead the group to study the \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nexpression profiling of the RPS and RPL genes in rice (Moin et al. 2016b; Saha et al. 2017). This study \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nhas shown that the RP genes have differential expression at the developmental level with significant \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\ndifferential expression patterns under the treatments with several signaling molecules and stress \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\ntreatments (biotic and abiotic). His group generated the transgenic rice plants overexpressing RPL23A \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\n and their analysis has confirmed the stress tolerance phenomenon in the transgenic plants \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\n(Moin et al. 2017). \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nTarget of rapamycin is a multifunctional protein, which controls cell division, embryogenesis, stress \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\ntolerance etc. In water use efficiency, his group also demonstrated that the ectopic expression of the \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nArabidopsis target of rapamyci (AtTOR) has resulted in significantly enhanced water use efficiency, \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nphotosynthetic efficiency and yield related parameters in rice transgenic plants (Bakshi et l. 2017a). \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nIt has also been demonstrated that the AtTOR modulates several development related genes in the \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\ntransgenic plants, which has resulted in enhanced phenotype in rice (Bakshi et al.2017b). \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nThe activation tagged population has also been used in cloning and characterizing a novel transcription \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nfactor gene, NF-YC13 of rice that was associated with enhanced tolerance to sodium chloride (Maran et al.2017) \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\n: \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nSome recent publications: \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\n \\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\nGautam R., Shukla P.
