Executive Summary : | Development / utilization of biparental, multi-parental and mutant populations for yield and abiotic stress related traits, and genomic analysis of abiotic stress responsive genes and their validation |
Co-PI: | Dr. Rajender Singh, Scientist, Indian Institute of Wheat and Barley Research (IIWBR), Karnal, Dr. Pradeep Sharma, Scientist, Indian Institute of Wheat and Barley Research (IIWBR), Karnal, Dr. Sonia Sheoran, Scientist, Indian Institute of Wheat and Barley Research (IIWBR), Karnal |
Achievements : | Multiparent and training population in wheat; Two EMS derived mutant lines DMW1820 and DMW1822 previously found resistant to yellow rust; Genome-wide analysis led to identification of 157 and 111 TaWRKY and TaSnRK family genes |
