The International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (Icrisat) and the department of biotechnology have launched a project for establishing a platform for translational research on transgenic crops (PTTC). The foundation stone for PTTC was laid by DBT secretary MK Bhan and Icrisat director-general William Dar at the Icrisat campus in Hyderabad.
