Interactive lecture organised
Kurukshetra: The Institute of Environmental Studies organised an interactive lecture on "Climate resilience crops: Strategies for mitigation of abiotic stresses in crops plants" for the students of life sciences by Dr Sarvajeet Singh Gill, associate professor, at the Centre for Biotechnology, MDU, Rohtak. The lecture was conducted at the seminar hall of the institute and Dr Meenakshi Suhag welcomed all guests. On the occasion, more than 100 students from various departments participated and benefitted. Prof Jitender Sharma, director of environmental studies and dean of life sciences, emphasised on the importance of agriculture biotechnology and genetic engineering as a mitigation approach for sustainable agriculture. Dr Gill said global warming and climate change were driving an alarming increase in the frequency and intensity of different abiotic stresses, such as droughts, heat waves, cold snaps, and flooding, negatively affecting crop yields and causing food shortages. Climate change is also altering the composition and behaviour of different insect and pathogen populations adding to yield losses worldwide. Additional constraints to agriculture are caused by the increasing amount of human-generated pollutants, as well as the negative impact of climate change on soil microbiomes.
