and yellow rust

Strategies
to
cope
with

changing
climate

1.  Exploitation of alien genetic variation (wild
species and genera, land races etc.)
2.  Enhanced input use efficiency
3.  Breeding for earliness
4.  Varieties for fragile ecosystems
Ø Plant breeding strategies:
Ø Biotechnological tools:
1.  Marker assisted breeding
2.  Transgenics/Cisgenics
3.  Genomics, proteomics etc.
4.  TILLING/ECOTILLING (search for new genes)

Guidelines on NILs/MAS Product
Testing/Release/Notification under
Seed Act 1966
Approved during the 48th Meeting of Central Sub-Committee on Crop
Standards, Notification and Release of Varieties for Agricultural
Crops, 24 Dec. 2007

Ø Notified on 24 Dec 2007 as proceedings of 48th Meeting of Seed Committee, GoI

Ø The recurrent parent (RP) should be a notified variety/parental line of a hybrid
lacking in specific traits

Ø NILs (EDV) should be in conformity with RP for DUS trait but should have one
or two phenotypic characters differing from RP to facilitate seed certification
and yield at least on par with RP

Ø The NILs (EDV) should have a minimum of 85% RPG recovery based on
background selection.

Ø Identification, notification and release of NILs: The NILs which have
successfully completed two years of testing under AVT1-NIL as per the
guidelines/criteria mentioned above should be identified, released and notified
as a new variety

notification under Seed Act 1966)

How was the Challenge Tackled …contd.
A. Durable or Horizontal Resistance Breeding
•  Exposure of the segregating materials at hot
spot locations (Wellington, Dhaulakuan,
Dharwad, Indore) at different stages
(shuttling)
•  Facilitation of screening against yellow/black
or yellow/leaf or black rust enabling us to pick
up only the disease resistant plants with levels
of 10S-30MSS under high disease pressure
