Salient Achievements

Salient Achievements: Over 1,00,000 accessions from different agro climatic zones were acquired in cereals, millets, vegetable crops and medicinal plants. Identified and introduced trait specific germplasm and related information for utilization in crop improvement programs of Indian plant breeders/ researchers. The passport information on the same was documented online. Procured more thn 10,00 trait specific accessions (registered germplasm/cultivars, lines resistance to biotic stresses, abiotic stresses, core collections, mapping populations and other desired characteristics.

Methodologies/techniques developed for effective management of PGR.Development of document on Policies and guidelines regarding the exchange of genetic resources for research for the researchers/users in the country. Facilitated development of computer software for assigning Exotic Collection (EC) number to the material received from different countries for retrieval and querying in the electronic form.Development of Standard Material Transfer Agreement (SMTA)  and Material Transfer Agreement (MTA)  in the light of Biological Diversity Act and International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. Concept note on exchange of plant genetic resources after notifications of all sections of Biological Diversity Act ‘ 2002
