ARID FOREST RESEARCH INSTITUTE

Introduction
FGTB Division is actively engaged in research related to conservation of genetic resources and variability, screening of genetic variability through provenance trials, improvement of planting stock, mass multiplication through tissue culture and conventional methods of vegetative propagation of forest tree species of arid and semi arid regions. The division is also gearing up to initiate genetic engineering research on forest tree species of medicinal significance and over exploited species of economic importance.The division is well equipped with all the latest equipments required for carrying out research and also have a well established Tissue Culture Laboratory.

Tissue Culture Lab

Tissuecultured Plants of Bamboo

Objectives
	To conserve and utilize genetic resources for increasing forest productivity
	To conserve genetic variability for future tree breeding works
	Screen geographical variations suitable to the planting sites
	To improve planting stock
	To develop alternate and fast mass multiplication protocols for species of the region using biotechnology interventions
	To utilize genetic variability through genetic engineering
	To use new high throughput tools to understand genetics at a molecular level
