Niche Area of Excellence on ‘Development and validation of molecular markers for novel alleles of candidate genes enhancing yield and low accumulation of arsenic from native rice germplasm’ |
Utilization of the advance knowledge of rice genomes for allele mining of the genes enhancing yield and low accumulation of arsenic in grain and training of PG students. |
Jan 2017-2021 |
ICAR -Education Directorate, Govt. of India |
- Superior Candidate gene for yield enhancing and low accumulation of arsenic will be identified based on expression at the transcription and translation level
- Sequence will be compared among the contrasting genotypes to identify molecular markers.
- Polymorphic markers will be validated in several mapping population to confirm their utilities in marker assisted breeding of rice.
