&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Research work related to genetic modification (GM) in the agriculture sector is being conducted on 72 crops/plant species, Parliament was informed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;According to information available with ICAR ( Indian Council of Agricultural Research), research related to genetic modification is currently being carried out in 72 crops/plant species,&amp;quot; Minister of State for Agriculture Harish Rawat said in a written reply to Lok Sabha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
GM research is being carried in cotton, soyabean, rice, maize, wheat, sorghum, potato, brinjal, tomato, sugarcane, castor, blackgram, sunflower, jute, coffee, mustard, onion, ginger, tobacco, and chilli, among others, he added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The traits being examined in these crop plants are abiotic and biotic stresses resistance, nutritional quality improvement, yield improvement etc,&amp;quot; the minister said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rawat said all research work related to genetic engineering requires regulatory approval of the Review Committee on Genetic Manipulation (RCGM) and the Genetic Engineering Approval Committee (GEAC) since 2002.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Replying to a separate question in the house on area under transgenic crops in the country, Rawat said Bt cotton is the only crop approved for commercial cultivation in nine states by GEAC as per provisions of Rules 1989.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The area under Bt cotton is targeted to be around 95.04 lakh hectares for 2011-12,&amp;quot; he added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Answering another question in Lok Sabha on central assistance for promoting the use of GM seeds, the minister said, &amp;quot;The Government of India does not provide any financial assistance in the form of subsidy for promoting the use of GM seeds.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, since 2005-06, the Department of Agriculture and Cooperation is implementing a component &#039;Use of Biotechnology in Agriculture&#039;, he added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The component is being implemented under central sector scheme &#039;Development and Strengthening of Infrastructure Facilities for Production and Distribution of Quality Seeds&#039;, Rawat said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Also, Department of Biotechnology (DBT) has supported a number of R&amp;amp;D projects with ultimate aim to identify important genes and manipulate these for generating transgenic plants with improved agronomic character and resistance against various pathogens/stresses,&amp;quot; he added. &lt;br /&gt;

Research work related to genetic modification (GM) in the agriculture sector is being conducted on 72 crops/plant species, Parliament was informed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;According to information available with ICAR ( Indian Council of Agricultural Research), research related to genetic modification is currently being carried out in 72 crops/plant species,&amp;quot; Minister of State for Agriculture Harish Rawat said in a written reply to Lok Sabha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
GM research is being carried in cotton, soyabean, rice, maize, wheat, sorghum, potato, brinjal, tomato, sugarcane, castor, blackgram, sunflower, jute, coffee, mustard, onion, ginger, tobacco, and chilli, among others, he added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The traits being examined in these crop plants are abiotic and biotic stresses resistance, nutritional quality improvement, yield improvement etc,&amp;quot; the minister said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rawat said all research work related to genetic engineering requires regulatory approval of the Review Committee on Genetic Manipulation (RCGM) and the Genetic Engineering Approval Committee (GEAC) since 2002.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Replying to a separate question in the house on area under transgenic crops in the country, Rawat said Bt cotton is the only crop approved for commercial cultivation in nine states by GEAC as per provisions of Rules 1989.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The area under Bt cotton is targeted to be around 95.04 lakh hectares for 2011-12,&amp;quot; he added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Answering another question in Lok Sabha on central assistance for promoting the use of GM seeds, the minister said, &amp;quot;The Government of India does not provide any financial assistance in the form of subsidy for promoting the use of GM seeds.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, since 2005-06, the Department of Agriculture and Cooperation is implementing a component &#039;Use of Biotechnology in Agriculture&#039;, he added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The component is being implemented under central sector scheme &#039;Development and Strengthening of Infrastructure Facilities for Production and Distribution of Quality Seeds&#039;, Rawat said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Also, Department of Biotechnology (DBT) has supported a number of R&amp;amp;D projects with ultimate aim to identify important genes and manipulate these for generating transgenic plants with improved agronomic character and resistance against various pathogens/stresses,&amp;quot; he added. &lt;br /&gt;

Research work related to genetic modification (GM) in the agriculture sector is being conducted on 72 crops/plant species, Parliament was informed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;According to information available with ICAR ( Indian Council of Agricultural Research), research related to genetic modification is currently being carried out in 72 crops/plant species,&amp;quot; Minister of State for Agriculture Harish Rawat said in a written reply to Lok Sabha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
GM research is being carried in cotton, soyabean, rice, maize, wheat, sorghum, potato, brinjal, tomato, sugarcane, castor, blackgram, sunflower, jute, coffee, mustard, onion, ginger, tobacco, and chilli, among others, he added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The traits being examined in these crop plants are abiotic and biotic stresses resistance, nutritional quality improvement, yield improvement etc,&amp;quot; the minister said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rawat said all research work related to genetic engineering requires regulatory approval of the Review Committee on Genetic Manipulation (RCGM) and the Genetic Engineering Approval Committee (GEAC) since 2002.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Replying to a separate question in the house on area under transgenic crops in the country, Rawat said Bt cotton is the only crop approved for commercial cultivation in nine states by GEAC as per provisions of Rules 1989.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The area under Bt cotton is targeted to be around 95.04 lakh hectares for 2011-12,&amp;quot; he added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Answering another question in Lok Sabha on central assistance for promoting the use of GM seeds, the minister said, &amp;quot;The Government of India does not provide any financial assistance in the form of subsidy for promoting the use of GM seeds.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, since 2005-06, the Department of Agriculture and Cooperation is implementing a component &#039;Use of Biotechnology in Agriculture&#039;, he added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The component is being implemented under central sector scheme &#039;Development and Strengthening of Infrastructure Facilities for Production and Distribution of Quality Seeds&#039;, Rawat said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Also, Department of Biotechnology (DBT) has supported a number of R&amp;amp;D projects with ultimate aim to identify important genes and manipulate these for generating transgenic plants with improved agronomic character and resistance against various pathogens/stresses,&amp;quot; he added. &lt;br /&gt;

Research work related to genetic modification (GM) in the agriculture sector is being conducted on 72 crops/plant species, Parliament was informed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;According to information available with ICAR ( Indian Council of Agricultural Research), research related to genetic modification is currently being carried out in 72 crops/plant species,&amp;quot; Minister of State for Agriculture Harish Rawat said in a written reply to Lok Sabha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
GM research is being carried in cotton, soyabean, rice, maize, wheat, sorghum, potato, brinjal, tomato, sugarcane, castor, blackgram, sunflower, jute, coffee, mustard, onion, ginger, tobacco, and chilli, among others, he added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The traits being examined in these crop plants are abiotic and biotic stresses resistance, nutritional quality improvement, yield improvement etc,&amp;quot; the minister said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rawat said all research work related to genetic engineering requires regulatory approval of the Review Committee on Genetic Manipulation (RCGM) and the Genetic Engineering Approval Committee (GEAC) since 2002.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Replying to a separate question in the house on area under transgenic crops in the country, Rawat said Bt cotton is the only crop approved for commercial cultivation in nine states by GEAC as per provisions of Rules 1989.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The area under Bt cotton is targeted to be around 95.04 lakh hectares for 2011-12,&amp;quot; he added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Answering another question in Lok Sabha on central assistance for promoting the use of GM seeds, the minister said, &amp;quot;The Government of India does not provide any financial assistance in the form of subsidy for promoting the use of GM seeds.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, since 2005-06, the Department of Agriculture and Cooperation is implementing a component &#039;Use of Biotechnology in Agriculture&#039;, he added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The component is being implemented under central sector scheme &#039;Development and Strengthening of Infrastructure Facilities for Production and Distribution of Quality Seeds&#039;, Rawat said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Also, Department of Biotechnology (DBT) has supported a number of R&amp;amp;D projects with ultimate aim to identify important genes and manipulate these for generating transgenic plants with improved agronomic character and resistance against various pathogens/stresses,&amp;quot; he added. &lt;br /&gt;

GM research being conducted on 72 plant species

-PTI   Research work related to genetic modification (GM) in the agriculture sector is being conducted on 72 crops/plant species, Parliament was informed. "According to information available with ICAR ( Indian Council of Agricultural Research), research related to genetic modification is currently being carried out in 72 crops/plant species," Minister of State for Agriculture Harish Rawat said in a written reply to Lok Sabha. GM research is being carried in cotton, soyabean, rice, maize, wheat, sorghum, potato, brinjal, tomato, sugarcane, castor, blackgram, sunflower, jute, coffee, mustard, onion, ginger, tobacco, and chilli, among others, he added. "The traits being examined in these crop plants are abiotic and biotic stresses resistance, nutritional quality improvement, yield improvement etc," the minister said. Rawat said all research work related to genetic engineering requires regulatory approval of the Review Committee on Genetic Manipulation (RCGM) and the Genetic Engineering Approval Committee (GEAC) since 2002. Replying to a separate question in the house on area under transgenic crops in the country, Rawat said Bt cotton is the only crop approved for commercial cultivation in nine states by GEAC as per provisions of Rules 1989. "The area under Bt cotton is targeted to be around 95.04 lakh hectares for 2011-12," he added. Answering another question in Lok Sabha on central assistance for promoting the use of GM seeds, the minister said, "The Government of India does not provide any financial assistance in the form of subsidy for promoting the use of GM seeds." However, since 2005-06, the Department of Agriculture and Cooperation is implementing a component 'Use of Biotechnology in Agriculture', he added. The component is being implemented under central sector scheme 'Development and Strengthening of Infrastructure Facilities for Production and Distribution of Quality Seeds', Rawat said. "Also, Department of Biotechnology (DBT) has supported a number of R&D projects with ultimate aim to identify important genes and manipulate these for generating transgenic plants with improved agronomic character and resistance against various pathogens/stresses," he added.
