Agrobiotechnology Department was established in 2008. Through its research activities, using next generation sequencing, metabolomics, and bioinformatics provides solutions to arising agricultural problems in a climate changing environment via state of the art technology. Along with its research activities, the Agrobiotechnology Department performs chemical analyses for research programs of other Departments of the Institute. Also Agrobiotechnology Department is hosting undergraduate and graduate students for their practical training and thesis.
