Plant Molecular Genetics Laboratory
The main interest of this laboratory is to do research related to the enhancement of drought tolerance in different plant species, improvement of plant resistance against pathogens and using different approaches of molecular breeding to enhance yield in different plant species especially barley and wheat. Furthermore, genetic diversity and population structure of locally collected plants studies are done.
