What happens when Pangenetics meets AI-powered Prediction? Next Frontier of AI-driven Crop Design
In a recent study, the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), together with collaborators from the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK), Germany, and the University of Queensland, Australia, proposes a new framework that could transform crop breeding by integrating biology-driven pangenetics with artificial intelligence (AI)-powered prediction models.
ICRISAT Scientists Decode the Genetics Behind Seed Coat Removal in Industry-Ready Groundnut
In a significant breakthrough for groundnut improvement, scientists at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) have unraveled the genetic basis of blanchability—the ability to easily remove the seed coat—a critical trait that determines processing efficiency and product quality for food industry.
Biodiversity Day Feature Story: A Delicate Balance: Insect Pests, Pollinators and Food Production
In the delicate interplay between agricultural expansion and ecological sustainability, insects occupy a dual role—both as essential allies and as threats. ICRISAT works to ensure farming practices maintain this delicate balance between productivity and ecological sustainability.
