“Bioprospecting of Genes and Allele Mining for Abiotic Stress Tolerance"
Objective
- Generation of genomic resource base to facilitate gene prospecting and allele mining
- Prospecting for new genes and alleles for abiotic stress tolerance (moisture stress, salinity, sodicity, acidity, adverse temperature, submergence and anoxia)
- Functional validation of the identified genes in model plant systems
- Use of the identified genes/alleles in genetic enhancement of target species
