Qtlomics

With world's population increasing and decrease in cultivable land - Agriculture is gaining importance, it has to now provide better quality and quantities of food, fiber, fuel, flavor, fodder, drugs, ingradients for industry and even flowers for the growing population fed clothed sheltered and happy. This is a challenge and the 3rd green revolution is in progress - applying genomics (NGS Microarrays and qPCR) and new generation technologies like SiRNA to assist traditional breeding and replace toxic pesticides and reduce the use of protein based GMO's. This group will focus on marker(s) assisted breeding, developing trait assisted markers rapidly using NGS and applying the naturally occurring suppressor / inhibitor RNAs for breeding better plants and agriculture of the future. We will be discussing Cutting edge technologies, markers, traits, technology platforms protocols and key developments in the basic and applied sciences, understanding of the magical hybrid vigor will also be covered. Education, key institutes and breeding companies, service providers, Courses, training, workshops, Jobs, collaboration and partnership opportunities in Agribiotech

We welcome all of you to post developments in these areas. Thank you.
