Food Security Research Group

The primary focus has been wheat centering around the genetic resources across its three genomes with a view to integrating new allelic variation for crop production and yield maximization which is sine qua non to ensure food security. Their research has covered genomic diversity across vital research facets of basic, strategic, and applied dimensions. The effort embraces multiple disciplines that are categorized as genetic resources, quality, cytogenetics, molecular cytogenetics, biochemical genetics, pre-breeding, physiology, pathology, breeding, mapping, gene cloning and gene editing.
