The research work was supervised by Professor Dr M.Saleh Memon, Professor Dr Abdul Wahab Ansari and Professor Dr Basir Ahmed Arain.

Ms Shah said she had developed a new computerised method 'Asbaan' which was low cost for chemical analysis with the help of computer software through anatomical structure of plant.

She said the method would be useful for biochemists and botanists for proximal chemical analysis.

She said her research work comprised three parts which included chemical analysis of plant proteins, anatomical structure (sections) of plants and development of software.

She also highlighted details of the research work and its importance in the field of science and biochemistry.
