Thrust Areas

• Integration of Multi-Omics Platforms to build systems-level insights into seed development, storage behaviour, and germination physiology.
• Deploying computational tools and predictive models to analyse large-scale omics datasets, identify trait-associated polymorphisms, and enable targeted improvement of seed quality traits.
• Accelerating trait introgression and seed quality improvement through marker-assisted selection, genomic selection, and functional molecular markers validated via expression assays.
• Functional genomics of dormancy and germination-related genes.
