The Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) has entered into a strategic partnership with Gujarat State Seed Corporation (GSSC) through the signing of memorandum of understanding during Global Agriculture Summit of Vibrant Gujarat 2013, held at Gandhi Nagar recently.

This step is aimed at developing and commercializing cotton transgenic hybrids. The major motive of PAU entering into an agreement with GSSC is the introgression of BG-II genes-event Mon 15985 to the parental lines of PAU cotton hybrids.

Besides, PAU has also signed a material transfer agreement with Assam Agricultural University (AAU), Jorhat for the development of chickpea transgenic. Under this pact, the AAU will supply seeds of two transgenic lines, BS100B and BS100E carrying Cry1Ac gene for evaluation against helicoverpa resistance and introgression breeding.
