Ludhiana, August 16

Two researchers from Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), Ludhiana, — Dr Parveen Chhuneja and Dr Satinder Kaur — as a part of a ‘groundbreaking’ international study titled ‘Origin and Evolution of the Bread Wheat D Genome’, published in Nature — world’s leading multidisciplinary science journal — on August 14, have made significant strides in understanding wheat evolution and unlocking novel genetic variations, paving the way for future wheat improvement.

The study, which underscores the critical role of wild wheat relatives in enhancing crop resilience, involved scientists from 36 institutions worldwide. — TNS

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).
