Today, students from Deshbandhu College (@UnivofDelhi) visited #NIPGR for a study tour. The outreach session included an engaging lecture/ interaction by @jmsgopal1, & an institute overview by @Ratnesh_thakur on research areas, facilities & campus life. They also toured our labs.

🌾 Shielding Rice, Securing Harvests 🌾 Introducing Sheath Blight Resistant Rice Lines by @NIPGRsocial & @iirr_icar collaboration. BRIC-NIPGR, in collaboration with ICAR-IIRR, has identified a genetic locus for sheath blight tolerance and successfully introgressed this resistance into high-yielding rice varieties such as DRR Dhan, Swarna, and ISM. These improved rice lines are currently undergoing multi-location AICRP trials. To support future breeding efforts, the resistant donor lines have also been formally registered. Enabled under the #BioE3 Policy, this advancement strengthens India’s food security and ensures resilient, high-yielding rice for farmers nationwide. #AgriInnovation #FoodSecurity #AtmanirbharBharat @DrJitendraSingh @rajesh_gokhale @dralkasharma25 @BricDbt @THSTIFaridabad @NABI_India @bric_ils @NIPGRsocial @NImmunology @DBT_NBRC @FollowDbtNibmg @HydNiab @BRIC_CDFD @DBT_NCCS_Pune @DBT_inStem @ICGEB @RGCB_Trivandrum @ICGEBNewDelhi @unescorcb @BIRAC_2012

Today, we welcome Prof. Ramesh V. Sonti, Director @ICGEBNewDelhi, for the Dr. NUGGEHALLI NARAYANA MEMORIAL LECTURE in the Department of Biochemistry. Please join us as he delivers his talk on "A bacterial effector bridging plant and bacterial signaling" For details, see below:
