Salient Achievements:
|
- Three hundred eighty eight germplasm accessions of different species of Brassica viz. B. juncea (133 accessions), B. rapa var. yellow sarson (102), B. rapa var. toria (58), B. rapa var. brown sarson (32), B. nigra (24), B. napus (18), B. tornefortii (16) and close relative, Lepidium sativum (5) were screened for tolerance against mustard aphid (Lipaphis erysimi).
- Out of 288 accessions of Brassica accessions, 63 accessions of different species of Brassica were found highly tolerant and tolerant to aphid infestation.
- Among the 34 identified Brassica juncea accessions, two accessions of Brassica juncea, viz. IC 326353 and IC 491414 were identified as highly tolerant to mustard aphid (Lipaphis erysimi).
- Core collection of 223 accessions (out of 1515 accessions) of Setaria etalica was identified using qualitative and quantitative traits with the help of power core software. Thus identified core accessions were also validated using molecular marker (SSR).
- Three accessions IC-415421 (Chenopodium album) and EC-507740 & EC-507744 (C. quinoa) identified as longest flowering (102 days) and maturity (155 days) period, respectively.
- Among C. quinoa accessions, one accession EC-507740 from USA have higher amount of Fe (11.58 mg/kg leaf), Cu (0.86 mg/kg leaf) and Zn (1.10 mg/kg leaf).
- Among the different species of Chenopodium, C. album has highest amount of Fe (13.30 mg/kg leaf), Mn (11.37 mg/kg leaf) and Zn (1.17 mg/kg leaf) from accession of HP, Assam and Uttrakhand, respectively.
- Among the different accessions of Chenopodium, highest amount of Alanine (13.75), Aspartic acid (18.66), Glycine (10.00), Leucine (11.74) and Isoleucine (15.31) was found in Chenopodium album with accession number IC-622184 collected from Arunachal Pradesh.
- Different biotypes of Echinochloa colona (93 biotypes) and Commelina sp. (38 biotypes) was collected from central India and maintained at DWR weed seed bank.
- E. colona was tested for imazethapyr resistance at 100, 200 and 400 g/ha at 4-5 leaf stage. Among the different biotypes of E. colona, 36 biotypes showed variable resistance against imazethapyr.
- Commelina spp. was tested for imazethapyr resistance at 100, 200 and 400 g/ha at 4-5 leaf stage and 3 biotypes showed variable resistance against.
