His first achievements include the development of RFLP maps, large scale ESTs and EST-derived SSR and SNP markers and arrays as well as mapping of various agronomic traits. Pursuing genome wide association studies in barley, his institute has recently decoded inflorescence patterning and genetic architecture of plant stature. He was recognised as a Highly Cited Researcher by Thomson Reuters in 2015. A leader in ex situ conservation management and in Triticeae Genomics with partners in 30 different countries, Prof. Graner has played an important role both in advancing agricultural science research in India as well as development of world class human resources from India, training / employing a large number of Indian scientists / PhD Students / graduate students at IPK, Germany.”
