National Institute of Plant Genome Research
Indian research Institute
National Institute of Plant Genome Research (NIPGR) is an independent research institute based in New Delhi, India. It specializes in plant genomics and biotechnology and aims to carry out sophisticated research in the fields of plant biology, particularly in comprehending the structure, function, and evolution of plant genomes.
History
The institute was set up in 1998 under the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India. It was formed to succeed the previous Plant Genome Research Unit at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi.
Research areas
NIPGR conducts research across various domains of plant biology, including:
Structural and functional genomics
Molecular breeding and crop improvement
Plant-microbe interactions
Stress biology and signaling
Computational biology and bioinformatics
The institute is particularly known for its work in the genomics of important crop plants such as rice, wheat, tomato, mustard, and chickpea.
Academic programs
NIPGR offers doctoral (Ph.D.) programs in association with Jawaharlal Nehru University. Students receive training in cutting-edge research methodologies in plant biology and genomics.
Collaborations
NIPGR has national and international collaborations with various research institutions and universities. It is part of global initiatives in plant genomics and contributes to crop improvement programs through biotechnological innovations.
The public source identifies “National Institute of Plant Genome Research” as indian research Institute. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around National, Institute and Plant.
Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “National Institute of Plant Genome Research”, the useful work is to connect “indian research Institute” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q135396737. VIAF identifies the subject as 155180505. The Library of Congress control number is no2010023124. Authority coordinates are 28.531, 77.166. None of the 3 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1998.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
