Meanwhile, researcher Mian Faisal Nazir stressed the need for the flow of knowledge as an important part of scientific research.

Currently, he works as a postdoctoral research fellow at Institute of Cotton Research (ICR) of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS).

During the course of his PhD, he studied the genomic aspects of genetic differentiation and adaptive evolution of upland cotton in Anyang, China.

According China Economic Net (CEN), he told reporters that besides field-based work, lots of advanced molecular research is also going on in China.

He said that we are also doing molecular research, but due to the limited resources, its scope isn’t much wider in Pakistan.

However, he noted difference of dimension of Pakistan and China’s research on cotton.

He said it has a wider scope in China, while in Pakistan it remains limited.

Most of the cotton research work in Pakistan remains focused on field-based evaluation and developing new cultivars.
