Since inception in 1986 Tissue Culture & Cryopreservation Unit at @INbpgr pioneered development of micropropagation, in vitro conservation & cryopreservation protocols & applying them for in vitro genebanking (1,927 accessions, 38K cultures) & cryo-genebanking (12K accessions).

We must teach students at all levels (from school to PhDs) benefits of 'discussing' with their peers, and how to do so without feeling inadequate or threatened. Our exam-oriented system makes students mug up text books, but they don't know when and how to engage in a discussion.

Thanks @serbonline for funding the research

[ICAR-NBPGR @INbpgr]

#TCCU Researchers of @INbpgr developed a #cryopreservation protocol for critically endangered medicinal plant Dioscorea deltoidea and successfully cryobanked 15 germplasm accessions.

"Reviewer #2 wants us to validate RNAseq data with qPCR"

[ICAR-NBPGR @INbpgr]

@INbpgr researchers develop for the first time genome wide SSR markers in Bunium persicum. Markers are expected to facilitate the diversity studies, population assessment & breeding in Bunium persicum (Kala jeera), a valuable medicinal spice plant.

#HimachalPradesh has been one of the first states to administer at least one vaccine dose to the entire eligible population. It is also ahead of others as far as complete vaccination is concerned and is followed by Kerala, Uttarakhand, and Delhi.

Worried about diminishing agricultural crop diversity in the farming fields?
The good news - many were collected & conserved in the genebanks, with phytosanitary protection.
Ex-situ conservation is the insurance
