Since its establishment in 1976 by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), NBPGR has played a pivotal role in the management and sustainable utilization of plant genetic resources. Considering the suggestions of the Germplasm Advisory Committees (GACs) on the various crop groups, plant explorations were undertaken to collect the trait specific germplasm and wild relatives of crop plants, which constituted 40% of the total collections made during the period under report. Similarly, trait specific germplasm for quality, biotic and abiotic stresses, etc., was introduced from abroad and made available to indentors/ researchers after quarantine clearance. A large number of accessions of agri-horticultural crops were grown for characterization, evaluation, regeneration and maintenance at New Delhi and various regional stations of Bureau located in different agro-climatic zones of the country. Besides, multi-location evaluation of rice, wheat, chickpea and pigeonpea involving AICRP/ ICAR crop-based institutes/ SAUs resulted in the identification of promising accessions for yield, quality attributes and tolerance to biotic stresses. A total of 14,683 accessions of orthodox seeds were added to the base collection raising the total germplasm holding to 3,53,877 accessions in the National Genebank. A total of 1,957 accessions of fruit crops, bulb and tuber crops, medicinal, aromatic and rare/ endangered plants, spices, plantation and industrial crops were conserved as in vitro cultures. Significant progress was made in the development of protocols for cultivar identification in crops of national importance using molecular techniques like STMS, AFLP and ISSR. More than 2500 varieties in different crops were fingerprinted and included in the database on DNA fingerprinting. Three M.Sc and two Ph.D students were awarded degrees in PGR during the year. I take this opportunity to place on record my sincere thanks and gratitude to Dr Mangala Rai, Director General ICAR and Secretary DARE, Govt. of India and to Dr PL Gautam, Deputy Director General (Crop Sciences), and Dr S P Tiwari, Deputy Director General (Education), ICAR for their continued guidance, encouragement and support in executing the mandate of NBPGR. I thankfully acknowledge the contributions made by all the scientists, Technical, administrative and supporting staff NBPGR in this compilation. Sincere efforts of Drs Arjun Lal, Anjula Pandey and Kavita Gupta in compilation, editing and bringing out the report are appreciated. 22 May 2008 SK Sharma New Delhi Director PREFACE v izfrosnu lkjak'k jk"Vªh; Lrj ij ikni vkuqOakf'kd Laklk/uksa OksQ mfpr izcU/ gsrq vkdkj vkfn xq.kksa esa cgqr fofo/rk ikbZ xbZA jrutksr esa Hkh ikni C;wjks us fujarj vxqvkbZ djrs gq, liQy ekxZn'kZu fd;kA blosQ dbZ xq.kksa [kkldj iSnkokj esa dkiQh fofo/rk ikbZ xbZA tsd ikni vkuqOakf'kd Laklk/ukas OksQ izca/u ls lEcfU/r lHkh izQwV (dVgy) dh ,df=kr 24 izkfIr;aks rFkk lhrkiQy osQ 16 xfrfof/;ksa@dk;ksZa ij o"kZ 2007&08 OksQ nkSjku vftZr miyfC/;ksa izkfIr;aks esa fofo/rk ikbZ xbZaA dk Lakf{kIr fooj.k bl vè;k; esa fn;k x;k gS tks bl izdkj gSA Lakxzfgr Hkw&tkfr;ak (yS.M jslst) % oqQy 170 izkfIr;ak ftlesa

  • Revisiting the Status of Cultivated Plant Species Agrobiodiversity in India: an Overview ANURUDH K SINGH* 2924, Sector-23, Gurgaon, Haryana, India 122 017
    Proc Indian Natn Sci Acad 83 No. 1 March 2017 pp. 151-174 Printed in India. DOI: 10.16943/ptinsa/2016/v82/48406 Review Article Revisiting the Status of Cultivated Plant Species Agrobiodiversity in India: An Overview ANURUDH K SINGH* 2924, Sector-23, Gurgaon, Haryana, India 122 017 (Received on 14 March 2016; Revised on 20 May 2016; Accepted on 16 June 2016) A revisit to the literature on cultivated plant species agrobiodiversity in India revealed that the floristic diversity is represented by 17,926 species of angiosperm, while Indian agriculture cultivates 811 plant species and harbours more than 900 wild relatives of the cultivated plant species distributed over 10 (+ 1) biogeographic regions of the the country, significantly higher than commonly cited in the literature. Further, it revealed the role of Indian communities in domestication to cultivation of around 215 economically important plant species, and adaption of around 600 exotic crop species. Based on new evidence, several species require inclusion and others deletion, and many need further investigations to resolve the issue on country of their origin. Cultivation of crop species in diverse natural and man-made agroecological systems for centuries has generated a huge amount of genetic diversity in a large number of crop species, maintained by the farmers in the form of landraces or farmer’s varieties, and conserved as collections/accessions in the national agricultural research system.

Biodiversity Data Journal 3: e4606. doi: 10.3897/BDJ.3.e4606 Abstract Background Vigna subg. Ceratotropis (Piper) Verdc. represents a homogenous and distinct group of species with highly specialized complex floral characters. It is most diverse in Asia. India, with 24 species, represents a secondary center of species diversity of the subgenus. New information A new species, Vigna pandeyana RD Gore, SP Gaikwad & SD Randive, is described from hill slopes of the northern Western Ghats of India. It resembles Vigna yadavii Gaikwad et al. and Vigna dalzelliana (Kuntze) Verdc. but differs from the latter in its dimorphic shoots (some subterranean, with cleistogamous flowers) and densely hairy pods, from the former by its curved style, flattened style beak, foveolate seed coat and absence of standard protuberance and horn-like keel pocket in cleistogamous flowers.

Some practical experiences gathered while working in this facility are also included in the relevant context. Significant output from this facility in relevance of Plant genetic resource is enlisted. Knowledge on various aspects of the herbarium, need based demonstrations and user guidelines were disseminated in various training programmes conducted by ICAR-NBPGR to address various issues. To bring out this manual in present form is an attempt keeping in view various indentors approaching this facility from time to time to satisfied their quarries pertaining to consultation and use. Because of dependency of many users from various inter- disciplinary science especially from agriculture and pharmaceutical sciences, need was felt to develop this manual on NHCP. While developing this efforts have been made to include all the information in simple and user friendly way for benefit of users.

The quantitative data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and multivariate statistics. The pollen grains are prolate spheroidal in shape with equatorial diameter of 36.06– 116.33 µm and polar diameter of 36.31–120.96 µm in equatorial view. The small pollen dimensions were observed in Vigna hainiana, V. trilobata, and V. indica and the largest in V. vexillata. The pollen grains have reticulate-homobrochate and reticulate-heterobrochate types of pollen sculpture. The lumina are psilate or granulate with penta-hexagonal, penta-polygonal, and irregular shape. The muri are sinuous, straight, or narrow-straight.
