He is recognized as an international authority for the development of genetic and cytogenetic resources that are being used by the scientists around the world. He has developed, evaluated and released backcrossed interspecific chromosome substitution lines from other tetraploid cotton species.
This research opens new paradigms in cotton breeding and genetics studies providing a tool to overcome the problems of interspecific introgression and in the discovery of some novel genes or traits. He also made a major contribution in developing PCR-based SSR markers, a critical first step for the use of PCR-based marker technologies in the cotton breeding.
Dr. Saha has mentored many Ph.D. students, post-docs and visiting scientists in his lab.
