Details
Executive Summary : | Deciphering photosynthetic efficiency in wheat genotypes, and elucidating physiological, biochemical and anatomical traits in released Indian wheat varieties |
Co-PI: | Dr. Rinki, Scientist, Indian Institute of Wheat and Barley Research (IIWBR), Karnal, Dr. Sneh Narwal, Scientist, Indian Institute of Wheat and Barley Research (IIWBR), Karnal, Dr. Rajender Singh, Scientist, Indian Institute of Wheat and Barley Research (IIWBR), Karnal |
Achievements : | Variation in pith characters (solid/hollow) has also been identified among the sixteen popular wheat varieties. Stem solidness is a considerable character for tolerance against abiotic stress. |
