Subject Agriculture-Farming, Production, Technology, Economics
 
Description Agriculture Biotechnology has been the priority area of
research in India. DBT has
made sustained investments to set up
centers of excellence, support basic and
applied R&D in universities/institutions.
Today, more than 200 laboratories and
1000 researchers in public and private
sectors are engaged in plant biology,
genetic transformation research and
development; molecular marker assisted
breeding, genome sequencing and
functional genomics. According to data
with regulatory agencies, 24 universities,
37 research institutions and 45 private
sector companies are working on plant
transgenics in about 30 crops involving a
dozen of genes for traits
