Scientists

1.  Conservation and management of ~27,000 accessions of vegetable germplasm conserved in the National Genebank
2. Developed seed dormancy breaking methods in wild species for effective conservation and management of PGR in seven genera consisting of 27 species viz  wild Solanum, Allium , Abelmoschus, Momordica,Thespesia lampas,Hibiscus, Crotalaria and Corchorus  species .
3. Standardized quick viability testing methods in Jatroph and Baliospermum.
4. Seed storage behaviour was worked out in Rheum emodi, Rheum moorcroftianum, R. australe , Aegle marmelos and Wrightia tinctoria
5.  Contributed for developing the best practices for ex situ conservation of radish germplasm in the context of the crop genebank knowledge base (http://cropgenebank.sgrp.cgiar.org/).
6. Involved in the development of Core set in Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) for effective utilization in breeding 

7. Registration of Genetic Stocks

   Based on the evaluation / characterisation of germplasm,five accessions with unique traits were registered as follows:

   1. Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum Lam), IC564448 (INGR NO:09065):  NBPGR Tomato-1 with High TSS (6.00 B ) in 2009.

         2.Brinjal (Solanum melongena L), IC090982 (INGR NO:09123): Doli-5 resistant to Bacterial wilt.

         3. Brinjal (Solanum melongena L) IC249349 (INGR No:09122):P-61 resistant to Bacterial wilt  in 2009.

         4. Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) IC257296 (INGR NO:18030) with two female flowers per node, small fruited in  2018.

         5.Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) IC420405 (INGR NO:18029) for high carotenoid content and orange flesh colour  in 2018.
