July 2, 2019
| Sustainable Agriculture
The main objective of this project is to establish a Farmer Producer Organization at Block Okhalkanda, District Nainital for the benefit of farmers.
Smart/bioactivated nano-probes for extraction and characterization of bioactive compounds from marine resources: macro and micro algae
March 22, 2019
The main objectives of this project are to: (1) Design of nano-probes loaded with probe derived against proposed bio-active molecules which are either metabolites/proteins/peptides (polyamines/ Brassinosteroids/Jasmonides/ signal peptides/antioxidants); (2) Establish a robust reproducible extraction methodology for metabolites/ proteins/ peptides sourced from algae-micro algae; (3) Further screening of algae metabolite or protein/peptide for relevant bioactive molecules with a cell growth inhibitory/ antioxidant properties; (4) Isolation and Characterizat
DBT - TDNBC - DEAKIN – Research Network Across continents for learning and innovation (DTD-RNA)
March 18, 2019
| Sustainable Agriculture
TERI, India and Deakin University, Australia are two destinations in the world that are actively engaged in nanotechnology based research on agriculture, material science, food storage and safety. Considering the importance and relevance of joint research platform, TERI-Deakin Nanobiotechnology Centre (TDNBC), Gurugram, India and Institute of Frontier Materials (IFM), Deakin University, Australia, in association with Department of Biotechnology, Government of India has created "DBT -TDNBC - DEAKIN – Research Network Across continents for learning and innovation (DTD-RNA)".
Coalition for Agricultural Profitability and Sustainability
December 28, 2018
| Sustainable Agriculture
The Coalition for Agricultural Profitability and Sustainability (CAPS) acts as a platform to bring together key stakeholders from the agricultural sector. The aim is to enable transition to a profitable and sustainable agricultural system that also addresses concerns about nutrition and its impacts on health.
Identification of AMF Effectome and Concomitant target proteins in host plant to understand their role in establishing symbiosis using Funneliformis mosseae and Carrot as model species
November 3, 2018
| Sustainable Agriculture
The main objectives of the project are: (1) identification and characterization of effectors coded by Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (Funneliformis mosseae); (2) exploration for role of effector proteins in establishing symbiotic relationship; (3) investigation for whether AM fungi use effector proteins to short-circuit the plant defence mechanism.
Development of an Interface for Farm Level Carbon Footprint Estimation
August 23, 2018
| Environment
| Sustainable Agriculture
| Climate Change
The Project aim to estimate region specific carbon footprint of major agriculture products (rice, region specific horticulture crop, region specific spices) of India at the farm gate through a user friendly tool to measure carbon footprint of farm products with lesser uncertainly level. TERI would be using a process-based model with the input from farmers and meteorological data for the purpose. This would facilitate the farmers to get higher price of their product in the international market.
Centre for processes and structures to support translational research and innovations in Nanobiotechnology
May 22, 2018
| Sustainable Agriculture
The project aims to develop financially independent knowledge centre that can act like a vehicle to support the translational research in Nano-Biotechnology. The Centre's focus will be on developing critical processes, structure and network, evaluation and review mechanisms that enable transformational research in Nano-Biotechnology by networking domain experts, directing the focus on problems and challenges of relevance and marketable propositions.
Development of tailor made nanozeolite carrier for slow release and targeted delivery of nitrogen for sustainable crop production
January 1, 2018
The project aims to develop technology for highly efficacious nitrogenous fertilizer using the tailor made mesoporous nanozeolite carrier that can enable the slow release and targeted delivery of the nitrogen.
Development of Molecular Tools For Detecting Arbuscular Mycorrhizal fungi In The Environment
December 27, 2017
| Sustainable Agriculture
Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Fungi (AMF) are vital components of the microbial soil community, forming the most commonly occurring underground network, probably the oldest and largest symbiotic association between the roots of more than 80% of all terrestrial plant species.
