About NRCPB

The National Research Centre on Plant Biotechnology (NRCPB) was established in 1985 with a vision to impart the biotechnology advantage to the much-needed thrust to Indian Agriculture. The Centre had adopted relatively softer option of tissue culture based research in its infancy in view of the build-uptime required for a strong self-sustaining infrastructure.

Today almost a decade later, it stands poised to deliver impact-making results of research being pursued in upfront areas of plant biotechnology. Utilization of existing genetic variability by developing molecular aided selection, exploitation of heterosis, generation of new variability by tissue culture route, management of biotic and abiotic stresses, quality improvement by genetic engineering and biological nitrogen fixation are some of the salient research objectives being actively pursued at the Centre.
