MISSION
The mission of the National Botanical Research Institute is:
To act as a premier plant research centre of India under the umbrella
of CSIR by undertaking both basic and applied research in various
aspects of plant sciences for the conservation and sustainable utilization
of plant genetic resources for human welfare and sustainable development.
MANDATE
 |
|
To
undertake both basic and applied research on plant sciences
in taxonomy (including biosystematics and molecular taxonomy),
conservation biology, pharmacognosy, ethnopharmacology, biomass
biology, microbiology, environmental sciences, molecular biology
and genetic engineering, Tissue culture plant physiology, phytochemistry,
genetics and plant breeding, floriculture and bioinformatics
of the non-crop and wild plant genetic resources of India. |
The
