Chandigarh, February 7

Prof Kashmir Singh, Department of Biotechnology, Panjab University, has been sanctioned a project, “To study the crosstalk between long non-coding RNAs and MYB transcription factors for enhancement of drought tolerance in Brassica sp”, by the Centre.

The cost of the project is Rs50 lakh and it will be for a three-year duration. Professor Singh said this research could help improve agricultural profits in the long run. He has more than 16 years of experience of working in the field of plant sciences and has completed 12 research projects funded by various agencies of the Centre.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
