About the course Currently the world is facing several challenges, namely population growth, shrinking of arable lands, climate change etc. Conventional breeding methods and general increase in agricultural productivity alone will not be suffice to provide sustainable answer in due course of time. Therefore, alternative technologies, including the plant genetic engineering, a tool since its discovery 25 years ago, has already proved its potential worldwide, including India. The major emphasis is on using this technology for sustainable use of land for growing crops with less usage of land, nature, fertilizers and agrochemicals. During this intensive laboratory course, the basic biology underlying plant genetic engineering , demonstration, success stories and research gaps will be exposed.
