“Bioprospecting of Genes and Allele Mining for Abiotic Stress Tolerance"
Expected Outcome and Impact
- A thrust to basic research involving a wide gamut of expertise available in various institutions in the country breaking the barrier of biological species
- Basic resources for exploiting the science of genomics for relatively less studied species
- Development of a core group of scientists to provide cutting edge leadership in research in the field of gene and allele prospecting
- Greater precision in genetic improvement programmes thereby increasing the capability of Indian agricultural research system to meet the challenges to productivity and its sustainability
- Greater understanding of indigenous biological wealth; identification and protection of genes, germplasm and processes with high economic potential
