PPI’s starts crop improvement by thoroughly understanding the roles played by key plant genes in normal plant growth and development. PPI looks for individual plants that exhibit improved traits like drought tolerance or increased biomass. These traits are usually found to result from the increased or reduced expression of normal plant genes. PPI uses this genetic information to reproduce the same improved trait in a variety of crops using marker assisted breeding or genetic modification.
