Research Projects

Development of high yielding genotypes having tolerance to spot blotch, leaf rust and pre-harvest sprouting (PHS), evaluation of breeding material for major biotic and abiotic stress tolerance and quality traits using physiological, phyto-pathological, biochemical and molecular tools, sharing shuttle breeding material for multi-location evaluationfor identifying stable genotypes, anticipatory breeding for tackling wheat blast

DBW 39 variety can give very high yields in North Eastern Plains Zone (NEPZ); DBW 46 (INGR 11010) has shown highest 1000-grain weight under timely sown condition and minimum reduction in the grain weight under late sown situation thereby indicating that it has some degree of heat tolerance; DBW 51 (INGR 11011) has potential to accumulate more micro-nutrients; Double digit scale to appraise spot blotch disease; Sharing of ISBL lines with researchers in eastern region; QTLs identified for Spot blotch resistance; Wheat improvement for water logging, salinity and element toxicities in India; preliminary screening for pre-harvest sprouting tolerance; mitigating new threat of Wheat Blast; Creating repository of mapping populations of wheat at GRU
