Genetics and Tree Improvement Division (GTI)
|
Introduction
GTI Division is actively engaged in research related to conservation of genetic resources and variability, screening of genetic variability through provenance trials, improvement of planting stock, mass multiplication through tissue culture and conventional methods of vegetative propagation of forest tree species of arid and semi arid regions. The division is also gearing up to initiate genetic engineering research on forest tree species of medicinal significance and over exploited species of economic importance. The division is well equipped with all the latest equipments required for carrying out research and also have a well established Tissue Culture Laboratory.
