Indian Scientists Crack Drought Resistant Crop DNA for Climate Resilient Farming
In a major stride for food security, ICAR researchers decoded key genes in millets and pulses that boost drought resistance and yield. Using CRISPR Cas9 gene editing, scientists created improved plant lines now undergoing field trials in arid zones of Rajasthan and Telangana. This can aid farmers battling unpredictable monsoons, aligning with India’s National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture.
