Hyderabad: The University of Hyderabad (UOH) has received RS 6 Crore funds from the Biotechnology Department (DBT) to take research on plant metabolomics (small molecular studies) and proteomic (protein studies) for four years of tomato repository Genomics Resources (RTGR).
Established in 2010, RTGR conducted advanced scientific research in the field of genomic, proteomic and metabolomic tomato metabolomics to increase nutrition and the life of tomatoes.
Given his scientific contribution, DBT recognizes RTGR as a center of excellence for genome engineering in tomatoes.
As part of this project, RTGR will provide services to UOH and other academic institutions, industry, seed companies, etc., with a cost base.
It will also train users to understand and execute analysis of metabolomic and proteomic data by conducting an annual direct training workshop.
