About KRDL

Research that Moves
Agriculture Forward

Karnavati Research and Development Laboratory (KRDL) is the scientific innovation arm of Karnavati Research Lab LLP — a division dedicated to frontier research in plant genomics, molecular breeding, and agricultural biotechnology.

We partner with seed companies, public research institutions, universities, and breeders to deliver custom research solutions — from marker discovery and genome-wide association studies to tissue culture protocol development and transformation systems.

Every project at KRDL begins with a deep understanding of the client's breeding objective and ends with deployable, validated, field-ready scientific outcomes. Pricing is customised to your research scope — contact us with your requirements for a tailored proposal.

What We Research & Deliver

Nine focused research programmes spanning molecular genetics, genomics, and applied plant biotechnology.

1
🎯
KRDL · MAB
Marker-Assisted Backcrossing
Accelerate introgression of target traits — disease resistance, quality, abiotic tolerance — into elite backgrounds using tightly linked foreground and background markers. Reduce generations required by up to 60% versus phenotypic selection alone.
Foreground Selection Background Recovery BC2–BC4 Design
2
🔍
KRDL · VMI
Varietal & Hybrid Specific Marker Identification
Discover and validate molecular markers that uniquely distinguish your variety or hybrid from competitors and related germplasm. Essential for intellectual property protection, DUS support, and identity preservation programmes.
SSR / SNP Screening SRAP Profiling Proprietary ID
3
🗺️
KRDL · AMP
Association Mapping
Genome-wide and candidate-gene association studies linking marker polymorphisms to complex agronomic traits — yield components, stress tolerance, quality parameters. Identify QTLs in diverse germplasm panels without structured populations.
GWAS LD Analysis Population Structure
4
🧬
KRDL · NGS
Genome Sequencing — Trait Identification
Next-generation sequencing strategies for whole-genome, RADseq, and targeted resequencing to identify trait-associated loci. SNP discovery, haplotype analysis, and structural variant detection for breeding application.
WGS RADseq SNP Discovery Haplotype Phasing
5
🌿
KRDL · DHT
Haploid Culture Development
Anther culture, microspore culture, and gynogenesis protocols for accelerated doubled haploid (DH) line production in key crops. Achieve complete homozygosity in a single generation for rapid inbred development.
Anther Culture Microspore Culture DH Line Development
6
⚙️
KRDL · TFP
Plant Transformation Protocol Development
Agrobacterium-mediated and biolistic transformation systems for target crop species. Protocol development, optimization, and validation including binary vector construction, selection marker strategy, and regeneration system design.
Agrobacterium Biolistics Vector Design
7
🔬
KRDL · TCP
Tissue Culture Protocol Development
Callus induction, shoot organogenesis, somatic embryogenesis, and micropropagation protocol development and optimisation. Species-specific media formulation, growth regulator optimisation, and acclimatisation strategies.
Callus Induction Organogenesis Micropropagation
8
✅
KRDL · MVL
Validation of Methods
Systematic validation of molecular and analytical methods against defined performance criteria — specificity, sensitivity, reproducibility, robustness, and limit of detection. Supports laboratory accreditation, regulatory submissions, and quality system implementation.
Specificity / LOD Reproducibility Regulatory Support
9
🌾
KRDL · CRD
Custom Research & Collaborative Studies
Bespoke research projects designed around your specific crop, trait, or breeding challenge — genetic diversity analysis, genomic selection pipeline development, bioinformatics support, and multi-location trial data analysis. We structure every project around deliverables that matter to your programme.

Our Scientific Approach

Research
Designed to
Be Used.

Every KRDL project is structured around practical deployment in your breeding or commercialisation programme — not academic outputs alone.

01
Discovery Consultation
We begin with a deep technical consultation to understand your crop system, breeding objective, germplasm, timeline, and budget. This scoping exercise defines what success looks like for your programme before any bench work begins.
→ Requirements & Scope
02
Custom Research Design
Our scientists design a research plan with clearly defined milestones, sample requirements, analytical methods, statistical approach, and expected deliverables. You receive a detailed proposal with timeline and pricing before work commences.
→ Proposal & Agreement
03
Laboratory Execution
Research is conducted by our specialist team using validated protocols, advanced molecular infrastructure, and rigorous quality controls. Progress is communicated transparently through the project timeline with interim data updates.
→ Lab Work & Analysis
04
Data Analysis & Interpretation
Raw data is processed through bioinformatics pipelines and statistical analyses specific to the research question. Results are interpreted in the context of your breeding programme — not just reported in isolation.
→ Bioinformatics & Stats
05
Deliverable Report & Knowledge Transfer
You receive a comprehensive research report with all raw data, interpreted findings, recommendations, and deployment guidance. A knowledge transfer session ensures your team can act on the outcomes immediately in the field or lab.
→ Report & Transfer
Why Choose KRDL

Science That Serves
Your Programme

🧠

Domain Expertise in Crop Genomics

Our team brings deep, hands-on expertise in molecular plant breeding for Indian crop systems — cotton, cereals, pulses, vegetables, and oilseeds. We understand what markers actually need to do in a breeding context.

🔗

Integrated Research-to-Deployment Pipeline

As part of KRLL, KRDL works seamlessly with our seed testing (KSTL) and proficiency testing (KPTL) divisions — from marker discovery through to validated testing protocols and certified laboratory methods.

⚡

Responsive, Client-Centred Science

Every project is scoped and priced specifically for your requirements. No fixed off-the-shelf packages — just honest scientific consultation and a proposal built around what you actually need to achieve.

🌍

Gujarat-Based, India-Focused

Located in Anand, Gujarat — India's agricultural science hub — we are close to the seed industry we serve. We understand local crop priorities, growing seasons, and the regulatory environment for seed registration.

📋

Regulatory & IP-Ready Outputs

Research outputs from KRDL are structured to support practical outcomes: variety registration, plant breeder's rights applications, DUS testing support, IP documentation, accreditation submissions, and peer-reviewed publication. We build documentation into the research process from day one — not as an afterthought.

Pricing Philosophy
🔬
Priced for Your Research.
Not a Price List.

Research is never one-size-fits-all. Every crop, every trait, every programme has different complexity, timelines, and resource requirements. KRDL does not publish fixed prices — because quoting without understanding your project would not serve you well.

Contact Karnavati Research Lab LLP with your research requirements. Our scientists will review your project scope and provide a transparent, itemised proposal within 5 business days.
