Indian Scientists To Help Decipher Wheat Genetic Code

Indian
agricultural scientists have collaborated with the International Wheat
Genome Sequencing Consortium (IWGSC) to decode the genetic blueprint of
wheat, which would help breeders produce better quality cereal.
Scientists from the National Research Centre on Plant Biotechnology (New Delhi),
Punjab Agricultural University and Delhi University, in collaboration
with the IWGSC, have published a chromosome-based draft sequence of the
'bread wheat genome,' the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR)
said.
