然而国际半干旱热带作物研究所(ICRISAT)利用生物技术，成功地帮助印度农民克服了这一问题。

But using biotechnology, the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) has been able to help Indian farmers cope with the problem.

首先，国际半干旱热带作物研究所绘制了珍珠谷子的基因区，这些谷子可控制干旱条件下的霜霉病抗性、谷物产量和产草量。

First, ICRISAT mapped the genomic regions of pearl millet that control downy mildew resistance, grain production and straw yield under drought conditions.
