Ravi did his B.Sc.(Agriculture) at Agricultural College and Research Institute, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, Republic of India. Later he became interested in plant breeding and thus went on to complete M.Sc.(Agriculture) with specialization in Plant breeding and Genetics at Centre for Plant Breeding and Genetics(CPBG), Tamil Nadu Agricultural University(TNAU), Coimbatore. He was awarded with Junior and Senior Research Fellowships from University Grants Commission(UGC) to pursue his Ph.D. at Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology(CCMB) Hyderabad,Andhra Pradesh, a constituent research laboratory of Council of Scientific and Industrial Research(CSIR), Govt. of India. Currently he is a postdoc working on centromere biology in Arabidopsis thaliana. List of publications: AtMND1 is required for homologous pairing during meiosis in Arabidopsis. Gamete formation without meiosis in Arabidopsis. Molecular approaches for the fixation of plant hybrid vigor. The plant adherin AtSCC2 is required for embryogenesis and sister-chromatid cohesion during meiosis in Arabidopsis Haploid plants produced by centromere-mediated genome elimination. The rapidly evolving centromere-specific histone has stringent functional requirements in Arabidopsis thaliana. Synthetic clonal reproduction through seeds Meiosis-specific loading of the centromere-specific histone CENH3 in Arabidopsis thaliana Rapid creation of Arabidopsis doubled haploid lines for quantitative trait locus mapping Reverse breeding in Arabidopsis generates homozygous parental lines from a heterozygous plant
