  1. Pre-breeding & genetic enhancement in breaking yield barriers in bread wheat, Kabuli chickpea, barley & lentil ICAR-ICARDA Collaborative Research Indian Institute of Pulses Research, Kanpur Directorate of Wheat Research, Karnal and ICARDA , Aleppo, Syria

  2. Breaking yield barriers in Kabuli chickpea & lentil through pre-breeding & genetic enhancement IIPR, Kanpur & ICARDA, Syria • Exploring the exotic genetic resources of wheat and barley for gene discovery/bio-prospecting towards pulses improvement, particularly in developing varieties in response to climate change • DWR, Karnal & ICARDA, Syria

  3. Pre-breeding & genetic enhancement in breaking yield barriers in Kabuli chickpea & lentil Indian Institute of Pulses Research, Kanpur and ICARDA South Asia & China Program, New Delhi

  4. Collaborating Institutions • Lead centres: • Indian Institute of Pulses Research, Kanpur • ICARDA, Aleppo, Syria • Cooperating centres • Chickpea • Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi • Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri (Maharashtra) • NBPGR, New Delhi • Lentil • Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi • RMVSKVV, Sehore (Madhya Pradesh) • NBPGR, New Delhi

  5. Objectives • Identification of appropriate germplasm from ICARDA gene bank (landraces & wild species) for resistance to keys biotic and abiotic stresses. • Synthesis of new gene-pool with higher frequency of useful genes from exotic landraces & wild progenitors of Near-East origin. • Evaluation of new recombinants (pre-breeding lines) at farmers’ fields. • Identification of high yielding cultivars through multi-location testing for various production environments

  6. Objectives Cont… • Capacity building • For enhanced utilization of PGR and adoption of frontier technologies in crop improvement. • Empowerment of farmers for participatory breeding.

  7. Targeted Traits Kabuli chickpea Terminal heat & drought tolerance, and resistance to Ascochyta blight Lentil Earliness, tolerance to heat and drought, resistance to Stemphylium blight, root rots

  8. Expected Outputs • Development of varieties for adaptation to changing climate (mitigating soil moisture stress and temperature extremities) • New set of modern cultivars will be available for evaluation at farmers’ field/multilocation evaluation for their possible release • Wide range of varieties will be available to farmers • Appropriate cultivars will be selected by farmers for use in various cropping systems. Seeds of these cultivars would be multiplied and supplied to farmers

  9. An example: economic return • Due to high temperature in central India the • estimated loss (>10%) in chickpea production (2009-10). • The varieties which are likely to be developed • through this project will help in reducing this • damage. Even 1% saving will value about Rs. • 5.00 crores. More than this would be saving in • lentil too.

  10. Budget: Head-wise tentative breakup estimates (Rs. in Lakhs)

  11. A nine-member steering Steering Committee • Annual evaluation and monitoring of project implementation • Mid-term evaluation and if required modification in programme for implementation • Recommendation for policy interventions and strategy for expansion of program • Dy. Director General (Crop Sciences), ICAR Chairman • Joint Secretary (Crops), DAC Co-Chairman • DDG (Research), ICARDA, Aleppo, Syraia Member • Director (Crops) DAC Member • Director (wheat)/(Pulses),DAC Member • ADG(OP), ICAR Member • Reg. Coordinator, ICARDA, SACRP, New Delhi Member • Director, IIPR, Kanpur Member Secretary

  12. Exploring the exotic genetic resources of wheat and barley for gene discovery/bio-prospecting towards pulses improvement, particularly in developing varieties in response to climate change Directorate of Wheat Research, Karnal and ICARDA, Aleppo, Syria

  13. Collaborating Institutions Lead centres: Directorate of Wheat Research, Karnal ICARDA, Aleppo, Syria Cooperating centres: GBPUA&T, Pantnagar JNKVV, Powerkheda NBPGR, New Delhi ARS (RAU), Durgapura, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Rewa

  14. Objectives Use of of appropriate germplasm/genes (primitive landraces & wild species) for synthesis of new gene pool with higher frequency of useful genes to address climatic variations/new diseases and to fulfill farmers' demands. Evaluation of new recombinants (pre-breeding lines) under targeted agro-ecological conditions, and in farmers’ fields. Identification of high yielding, stress tolerant genotypes through multilocation/multi-season testing for the development of cultivars for commercial cultivation.

  15. Germplasm Utilization • Exploration of exotic germplasm and landraces of wheat and barley from West Asia and growing in India for phenotypic characterization in response to climate change (heat and water-use efficiency) • Genome mapping and synteny of the genes sequenced from wheat and barley could be assigned to encoding abiotic stress tolerance and can be utilized for pulses improvement.

  16. Expected Outputs New useful genes which have not been exploited in Indian programs will be available in Indian gene-bank for long-term use Stabilizing yield and higher productivity under biotic and abiotic stress environments (terminal heat and drought stresses) Seeds of appropriate cultivars selected by farmers for use in various cropping systems would be available for multiplication and distribution

  17. Year-wise proposed budget (Rs. in lakh)
