There’s a new, exciting story on the cotton campus. It’s called apomictic hybrid
In what could be an important breakthrough in agro-technology, scientists at the Central Institute for Cotton Research (CICR) have been able to apply apomixis—a technique to develop cotton hybrids that behave virtually as varieties—enabling the farmers to replicate the seeds themselves. It promises an end to the costly hybrid bargain for cotton farmers before every sowing season, and if everything goes well, farmers using other crops will also benefit.
