HAU Hisar Project cum Practical training on PLANT / MICROBIAL BIOTECHNOLOGY

A Project cum Practical training on PLANT / MICROBIAL BIOTECHNOLOGY

Organized By

Department of Biotechnology & Molecular Biology,
College of Basic Sciences & Humanities
CCS Haryana Agricultural University (HAU), Hisar, Haryana

Objective

Agricultural biotechnology encompassing areas of transgenic development, structural and functional genomics including marker assisted crop improvement could provide us with opportunities towards breaking the yield plateaus for sustainable food production. The recombinant DNA technique has enabled gene transfer across all possible inter-species barriers.

The present era of ‘Gene Revolution’ requires skilled human resources in this high throughput area. The Department of Biotechnology & Molecular Biology, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana is a leading seat of learning in the field of Agricultural Biotechnology with emphasis on plants and microorganisms.

The department is going to organize a six months hands on training on a Project covering different techniques in plant tissue culture, genetic engineering and molecular biology. The proposed training has been designed keeping in view the needs of State Univ. & Colleges and Graduate college students. The training programme will include lectures as well as practical classes.

The broad areas of Project would be from :

1. Micropropagation of important crop plants, cash crops, ornamentals, forest & horticultural trees, medicinal & aromatic plants.
2 Development of regeneration/ transformation protocols in tomato and cauliflower
3. Interspecific hybridization in Brassica and Guar through embryo rescue.
4. DNA fingerprinting of important crops of Haryana.
5. DNA fingerprinting of important horticultural and forest trees.
6. Cloning and characterization of sex-linked markers in dioecious plants-datepalm and jojoba.
7. Manipulation of rhizobia for improved symbiotic infection ability and plant growth promotion.

Duration: OPEN THROUGH 2010
