Research Program Genetic Gains (RPGG) Review Meeting 2021: Delivering more produce and income to farmers through enhancing genetic gains for chickpea and pigeonpea By Rajeev K Varshney

  1. Delivering more produce and income to farmers through enhancing genetic gains for chickpea and pigeonpea Project Coordinators: Rajeev K Varshney, ICRISAT & NP Singh, IIPR (2017-2020 with NCE till March 2021)

  3. Target states and partners Pigeonpea Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka Chickpea RARS-N
  4. Objectives Objective 1: Identification and enhancing adoption of superior lines or varieties in chickpea and pigeonpea Objective 2: Targeted and accelerated breeding for developing drought tolerant chickpea cultivars Objective 3: Mapping and validation of QTLs for abiotic and biotic stresses and identification of novel lines with enhanced diversity in chickpea Objective 4: Targeted and accelerated breeding for developing FW and SMD resistant pigeonpea cultivars Objective 5: Novel superior pigeonpea lines with enhanced genetic diversity and markers for early maturity, yield attributing traits, protein content and phytophthora blight Objective 6: Capacity building of NARS partners
  5. 1. Outreach of 16 improved varieties/hybrids each of two leading pulse crops (chickpea and pigeonpea) to 1,821 farmers from 158 villages of 25 districts in six states through FPVS trials 2. Release of new varieties through genomics and molecular breeding innovations: a) Chickpea: (i) Pusa Chickpea 10216 for Central Zone of India (ICAR- IARI); (ii) MABC-WR-SA-1 for Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat and Maharashtra (UAS- Raichur) c) Pigeonpea: GRG-152 (Bheema) for Central Zone of India (UAS- Raichur) 3. Improved lines under varietal release pipeline: a) Chickpea: Two lines in AVT2: BGM 10218 and BG 4005; five lines in AVT1: IPC (L4-25), IPC (L22-33-2) and IPC (L4-14); BGM 10220; NBeG 506 b) Pigeonpea: Pre-released: BDN 2013-41; One line in AVT2: IPA 15-06; One line in AVT1: IPA 15-03; Four lines in IVT: IPAE 15-02, IPAE 15-08, IBTDRG8, IBTDRG10 40%delivery Progress summary
  6. Progress summary 40%delivery 4. A set of ~200 improved lines (100 each in chickpea and pigeonpea) evaluated for higher yield and desirable traits in multi-location trials in different states 5. Molecular breeding deployed for enhancing drought tolerance, fusarium wilt and dry root rot resistance in elite lines of chickpea and fusarium wilt and sterility mosaic disease resistance in pigeonpea 6. Genetic maps and marker trait associations established through high-density genotypingHigh density genotyping and genetic maps 7. Several Farmers fairs, Demonstration, Monitoring and Field visits to reach 1821 farmers in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Telangana, and Uttar Pradesh 8. Knowledge dissemination and promotion of DAC projects activities through pumphlets, brouchures, newspapers, channels in local languages in different states. 9. Publications: >18 publications in the leading research journals.
