| Description |
The International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), Patancheru is a science-based international organization, which conducts research on sorghum, pearl millet, chickpea,pigeonpea and groundnut crops that support livelihoods of the poor in the semi-arid tropics. ICRISAT’s strategy (among others) is to make its mandate crops more productive and nutritiousthrough genetic enhancement approach. In this article, we describe briefly (i) priorities of geneticenhancement research and resultant breeding products, (ii) on-farm impact of these products, (iii)application of biotechnology tools, (iv) capacity building of national research and extension programmes and (v) future research focus.
