The Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (CIMAP) has set up a DNA bank of 128 medicinal plants that will help in conducting multi-dimensional research, save endangered plants and develop improvised varieties.
The DNA bank is an efficient, simple and long-term method to conserve the genetic information, he said.
The genetic material from plants provides endless information about each species. The bank will make available all information about a plant on its website.
CIMAP also plans to set up a DNA bank that will house an extensive collection of medicinal plants and will be a national-level DNA centre where research can be carried out - IANS
