Overview
Vision
Exploration of natural world of plants and allied creature for unravelling vast untapped resources of nature for the benefit of human race as well as the glorification of knowledge.
Features
Being one of the oldest academic disciplines of this institution, the department is privileged to have a strong faculty and academic program. We are striving to nurture our industry with trained and skilled manpower and with the development of “early bird” innovative production processes.
Our research activities on medicinally important plant-derived constituents, nutritional fortification of edible grains crops, development of industrially important fungal enzymes and natural pigments, edibles free from biotic contaminants, etc. are being valued by national industrial enterprises. An all-out academia-industry linkage initiative has taken off from this forum and the relevant entrepreneurs are approaching us for collaborative research ventures of mutual interest.Currently the department has signed MoUs with WWF, Pakistan, NorthWest & AF University, China for research and academic collaboration. The Botany program is offered at The Government College University Faisalabad.
Tohoku University, Japan has also shown interest in collaborative research ventures and an MoU of mutual partnership is likely in coming days A number of nationally and internationally funded research projects are also underway and the academia is focusing on to broaden need-based research endeavours. Molecular Biology, Plant Physiology, Integrative Biology, Environmental Biology, Economic Botany, Mycology, Microbiology and Biotechnology are some of the focal areas of research at this establishment.
Currently research work is being carried out in the fields of plant molecular biology, fortification of cereal crops, medicinal plants and nutraceuticals, seed priming, enzymology, plant tissue culture, stress physiology, biochemistry, phytoremediation and heavy metal tolerance, improving crop acclimation to different agro-climatic zones and fungal taxonomy.
Research on genetic basis of stress tolerance in different crops is also under way.
