Biotechnology is a precious assest for the Breeding technology. It simplifies the techniques in breeding, and the generations studies of the genotypes and their characteristics, are made easier by the techniques as AFLP RAPID RFLP. The desired genes of interest are now easily identified by molecular markers in the initial generations.

"Rich source of resistance in wild species, are being transferred by wide hybridisation with aid of tissue culture. Embryo culture and somatic fusions are the techniques used for the purpose."

The biotechnology laboratory has been setup with the norms of the DBT Govt. Of India. With the set infrastructure the Ankur Seeds R & D group is now gearing to take up transgenic research.
