Several successful research projects were carried out at the
center in collaboration with other national and
international research institutions. The performed projects
included the establishment of transformation system for the
Egyptian clover tolerant to cotton leaf worm and production
of transgenic rice tolerant to stem borers and rice blast.
Previous projects
1- Improvement of drought tolerance and nutritional quality
of Canola using genetic engineering (with collaboration with
NRC) 2004-2007, Financed by the National Academy of Science.
