Efficient shoot regeneration from double cotyledonary node explants of green gram [Vigna radiata L. (Wilczek)]

Not AvailableAn efficient shoot regeneration protocol has been developed yielding up to 27 shoots using double cotyledonary node explants of cultivar ML 267 of green gram [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek]. The explants were derived from 3-d-old seedlings germinated on Murashige and Skoog (MS) and Gamborg’s medium (B5) containing (2.0 mg/L) 6-benzyl aminopurine (BAP). They were initially cultured onto MS B5 medium augmented with different concentrations of BAP and very low concentrations of different auxins (NAA, IAA & IBA) and cytokinin (Kn) for shoot bud induction. The explants showing multiple shoot bud initials were transferred to MS B5 media containing reduced concentrations of BAP for shoot proliferation. Among the different auxins and cytokinins tested, presence of BAP+NAA in shoot bud induction and low BAP in shoot proliferation medium gave the best regeneration response. Profuse rooting was achieved in 90% of explants on ½ MS B5 medium devoid of any hormones. Over 90% of the rooted plants grew well and were fertile after transfer to glass house and set seeds normally. Histological examination of 4-d-old explants confirmed direct organogenesis through axillary shoot regeneration. Protocol so developed is currently being utilized for genetic enhancement of green gram using Agrobacterium mediated transformation.Not Availabl

Incentivizing individual employees and teams for their outstanding performance, across organizations, make them more efficient, responsive and productive apart from improving their level of job satisfaction. The awards, besides recognizing merit and accomplishments, generate healthy competition among individuals, groups and institutions to strive and attain still higher levels of excellence in their respective areas of work. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research has been recognizing and rewarding the institutions, scientists, teachers, farmers and agricultural journalists every year. It is satisfying to note that during this year; 161 awardees under 20 different categories have been selected. These comprise three Institutions, two AICRP, 14 KVKs, 94 Scientists, 31 farmers, 6 journalists and 10 staff members of various ICAR Institutes. It is heartening to note that of the 141 awarded persons 19are women. Among the Agricultural Universities and Deemed universities, Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture & Technology, Pantnagar has been bestowed upon the Best Agriculture University Award for the rapid strides in all spheres of teaching, research, extension and innovations, ICAR- Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Kochi has been awarded the Best Institution Award among the large institute category whereas, the ICAR-Central Institute for Research on Cotton Technology, Mumbai has been adjudged the best ICAR institution among smaller ICAR Institutes categor

SARDAR PATEL OUTSTANDING ICAR INSTITUTION AWARD 2019 ICAR-CENTRAL MARINE FISHERIES RESEARCH INSTITUTE KOCHI, KERALA CITATION

ICAR-CENTRAL MARINE FISHERIES RESEARCH INSTITUTE, KOCHI, KERALA has been awarded Sardar Patel Outstanding ICAR Institution Award 2019 in the category of Large Institute. The ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (ICARCMFRI), the largest fisheries research institute in the region, through its seven decade long committed R&D efforts has been able to sustain the marine fish production by way of its uniquely twin role of generating fisheries governance/policy oriented knowledge system as well as resource augmenting and conservation oriented technological options that transform the marine space as a frontier food production system. Mandated for developing time series database on marine fish production from the EEZ of the country, their biology, distribution, abundance, fishery forecast, potential yield, and stock assessment, the Institute has been assisting the Central Government as well as maritime states informulating and implementing management measures for sustainable production. The mariculture technologies developed for open sea cage farming of high value marine finfish and shellfish, bivalves and marine ornamentals have bolstered the coastal livelihood-cum-nutritional security and women empowerment. The Institute also addresses issues of ecosystem health, biodiversity conservation, marine biotechnology, and coastal pollution. The HRD and out-reach extension programmes of the Institute have an enduring impact on the sector. The CMFRI has demonstrated its competence, commitment and mission to the overall fisheries development, fulfilling the Blue Economy aspirations of the nation. ICAR-CMFRI has emerged as a global leader in research and development related to tropical marine fisheries and mariculture. The outstanding work carried out by the Institute truly deserves the recognition of this award

Marine Fisheries Resources Research is the principal function of the vessel. It is well equipped for locating fish resources, assessing the extent of their distribution and quantifying the fish stocks in the column waters and on sea bottom through effective use of different fishing gears such as bottom trawl, pelagic and midwater trawls and long-line with the aid of modern underwater acoustics and electronic data processing systems
