Advancing agricultural biotechnology through cutting-edge genomics research, commercial tissue culture production, and hands-on scientific training at CUTMAP's Andhra Pradesh campus.
The GGPTC Research Centre at Centurion University of Technology and Management (CUTMAP), Andhra Pradesh, is a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to advancing plant biotechnology โ bridging laboratory discoveries with real-world agricultural applications.
We integrate modern molecular biology with classical tissue culture methods to develop superior planting material, support conservation biology, and train the next generation of agricultural scientists.
Cooling centrifuge, electrophoresis, PCR, gel documentation, and spectrophotometric instruments for genomic analysis.
Large-scale culture rooms housing thousands of plantlets under controlled photoperiod, temperature and humidity.
Skill development workshops for students, farmers, and agri-entrepreneurs on biotechnology techniques.
A glimpse into the daily work, facilities, and living plant collections at our research centre.
Our interdisciplinary team works across three major pillars of modern plant biotechnology โ from the molecular to the agricultural scale.
Characterising crop genomes, identifying molecular markers, DNA barcoding of economically important plant species, and genetic diversity analysis for conservation and breeding programs.
Large-scale clonal multiplication of elite crop varieties through shoot tip culture, somatic embryogenesis, and organogenesis โ specialising in banana, orchids, and medicinal plants.
Investigation of secondary metabolite biosynthesis in medicinal plants, optimisation of elicitor treatments to enhance bioactive compound yields in in-vitro culture systems.
Our flagship commercial programme produces high-quality, virus-indexed banana plantlets (Grand Naine / G9, Robusta, Red Banana, and other varieties) through a rigorous micropropagation pipeline.
All plantlets are tested for somaclonal variation and confirmed pathogen-free before dispatch. We supply disease-free, true-to-type tissue culture banana plants to farmers, nurseries, and agri-entrepreneurs across Andhra Pradesh and beyond.
Every batch tested for BBrMV, BSV and other banana viruses
Capacity to supply thousands of plantlets monthly
Grand Naine, Robusta, Poovan, Red Banana & more
Hardened plantlets shipped in optimal condition
Three interconnected facility wings supporting the full pipeline โ from genomics to commercial plant production.
Climate-controlled chamber with fluorescent and LED grow lights on a programmable 16/8 h photoperiod. Houses thousands of culture jars at precise temperature and humidity.
Fully equipped with cooling centrifuge, electrophoresis unit, gel documentation system, thermocyclers, and spectrophotometric instruments for advanced genomic analysis.
Multiple laminar air flow cabinets for sterile subculturing and explant initiation, with UV sterilisation and positive-pressure air handling for contamination-free work.
From short skill-development workshops to formal research collaborations โ we welcome students, farmers, and industry partners.
Hands-on training in media preparation, explant sterilisation, laminar flow technique, subculturing, and hardening. Ideal for UG/PG students and the farming community.
Laboratory training in DNA extraction, PCR, gel electrophoresis, DNA barcoding, and sequence analysis. Suitable for research scholars and biotech graduates.
We invite national and international researchers for joint projects, MoU-based collaborations, and shared grant applications in plant biotechnology and genomics.
Place bulk orders for banana and other tissue culture plantlets. Quality-tested, hardened plantlets ensure better field establishment and higher yields.
For workshop registrations, training programmes, research collaborations, and commercial tissue culture orders โ reach out to our coordinators directly.
We welcome queries from students, researchers, farmers, nurseries, agri-entrepreneurs, and anyone interested in plant biotechnology. Whether enrolling in a workshop, collaborating on research, or placing a commercial tissue culture plantlet order โ our team is here to help.
