Scientists

1. Exploration and collection of Citrus and underutilized fruits from various parts of India and suggested various in situ on farm conservation sites for these.
2. Established comprehensive Cryobase collection of Indian Citrus, Underutilized fruits, TBO’s and plantation crops in the cryogenebank.
3. Developing and improving cryoprotocols for Citrus and other non-orthodox seeded species.
4. Proposed an in situ-on farm conservation model for wild species of Citrus in northeast India and underutilized fruits in north-west India.
5. Established 22 community seed banks in district Udaipur and under taken in situ on farm conservation efforts.
