Project formulation
Need
- Drought tolerance
- Bending - Stem formation
- Early detection of SEX
- PY/WY
- Copicing need in C. equisetifolia
Sequencing
- BGI - estimated size of C. species 340 per haploid genome, so most species will have ~700MB
- Cost today: ~1.5 crores
- Which species to go in?
Markers
- Apart from PY/WY/drought, what will you address?
- SEX
Outcome from Bussiness (Kulkarni and Pradeep)
Significance to ITC
- Owning genes
- First in the world and no entry barrier in terms of research
- Variety of patent possibilities
