The above sub-project has been funded by National Science Foundation of USA under the Developing Country Collaboration in Plant Genome Research project at IIT Roorkee and CCS University of Meerut at a total cost of US$ 96 628 for a period of two years from March, 2005. Under the project DEALING (Detecting Adduct Lesions IN Genomes) an important tool of reverse genetics will be used for annotation of genes of economic importance in diploid wheat Triticum monococcum . About 5000 M1 plants of a T. monococcum line DV92 treated with a deletogen diepoxybutane (DEB) are being grown for generation of M2 progenies which will be used for high throughput DEALING. Prof. G. S. Randhawa of IIT Roorkee has already received advanced training from North Dakota State University , USA during June-July, 2005 to train other scientists and students in India for undertaking the project effectively. There will be frequent exchange of Indian and US scientists and students under the collaborative project.
