Alla Singh is working as a Scientist (Agricultural Biotechnology) at the ICAR-Indian Institute of Maize Research, Ludhiana. He is currently working on the evaluation of potential of maize in the bio-based industry. He is also working to develop rapid tests for differentiating quality protein maize (QPM) from normal maize, to integrate it into the market chain for increased farmer remuneration. He has worked on the computational prioritization of gene targets for low phytate maize, which is expected to deliver low phyate phenotype without negative pleiotrpoic effects, known in case of natural null mutants.
