In diffi cult terrain of Ladakh region, where land resources are meager, animal wealth plays an important role in the life of the local people. Common native livestock genetic resources in Ladakh include yak, cattle, dzomo, dzo, goat, sheep, donkeys, horses, double hump camel, etc . For adaptability at cold as well as hypobaric hypoxic condition of Leh-Ladakh, the native animal genetic resources have developed certain physical and physiological adaptations. The physical changes include small statured body, large hair fur, and thick skin while physiological changes include unique circulatory adaptability with enlarged lungs, heart and larger concentration of red blood cells to accommodate the hypobaric-hypoxic environment. These unique traits make these livestock thrive and perform at under low oxygen and temperature; high ultraviolet exposure, and scarce nutrition in lean period.

Genebanks preserve the valuable genetic diversity in the form of huge collections of plant genetic resources (PGR). Dr Raj S. Paroda has spearheaded the modernization of one of the world’s largest genebanks, the ICAR-National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR), New Delhi, India, which currently houses nearly 462,466 accessions. Dr Paroda’s notable contributions in the fi eld of PGR management have earned him the popular name of “Genebank Guru”. As Dr Paroda turns 80 on August 28, 2022, we commemorate the occasion by synthesizing an article in line with Dr Paroda’ forward-thinking vision for PGR management and utilization. The present article highlights how modern genetic technologies have expanded our capacity to characterize and exploit the unexplored genetic diversity from genebanks. Extensive molecular and phenotypic characterisation support effi cient strategies to minimize large PGR collections to workable sizes, thus allowing targeted search of plant diversity for sustainable agriculture. As the technological innovations transform genebanks into “bio-digital resource centres”, availability of detailed genotype-phenotype maps and genomic predictions for large PGR collections will guide selection and breeding decisions in crop improvement programmes. Eff ective preservation and use of PGR collections is imperative to impart climate change adaptation to crop production systems and safeguarding our future food supply.
基因库以大量植物遗传资源(PGR)的形式保存着宝贵的遗传多样性。Raj S. Paroda博士领导了世界上最大的基因库之一——位于印度新德里的icar -国家植物遗传资源局(NBPGR)的现代化工作，该基因库目前拥有近462,466份资料。Paroda博士在PGR管理领域的杰出贡献为他赢得了“基因库大师”的美誉。在Paroda博士于2022年8月28日年满80岁之际，我们根据Paroda博士对PGR管理和利用的前瞻性愿景，合成一篇文章来纪念这一时刻。本文强调了现代遗传技术如何扩大了我们从基因库中描述和利用未开发的遗传多样性的能力。广泛的分子和表型特征支持有效的策略，以最大限度地减少大型PGR收集到可行的规模，从而允许有针对性地搜索可持续农业的植物多样性。随着技术创新将基因库转变为“生物数字资源中心”，大量PGR收集的详细基因型-表现型图谱和基因组预测的可用性将指导作物改良计划中的选择和育种决策。有效地保存和利用植物遗传资源对于提高作物生产系统对气候变化的适应能力和保障我们未来的粮食供应至关重要。

This paper discusses the importance and potentiality of novel approaches such as ‘Forest gene banks’ and ‘ circa situm conservation’. It also emphasizes creation of range-wide, spatially explicit big-database on circa situm conservation value of agro-forestry systems as well as to develop guidelines for establishment of circa situm gene banks across the country.

Small ruminants (Goat and Sheep) form an integral part of Indian agriculture and widely distributed across all agro-ecological zones. There are 148.88 million goats and 74.26 million sheep in India and are reared mainly by small and marginal farmers. They contribute significantly to rural economy as they can sustain on paltry input resources and harsh environmental conditions. There are 44 and 34 registered breeds of sheep and goat respectively, beside large number of non-descript animals. Due to intermixing among breeds in the field, breed purity is being diluted. Hence there is need to develop suitable breeding policy for genetic improvement and conservation of goat and sheep by different states.

Insects are a highly diverse group of organisms and their rich diversity is essential for ecosystem functioning. Insects have more influence on agriculture and most agricultural pests are invasive species that have been introduced into a new ecosystem. These invasive species have the capacity to compete, establish and displace the native species and therefore can be a threat to biodiversity. Introduction of such invasive species has increased with the increase in trade across the globe. Therefore, it is pertinent to strengthen the International cooperation and coordination between the affected countries and the country of native origin to identify the threat for the execution of different mitigation strategies. International Organization for Biological Control (IOBC), Centre for Agriculture and Bioscience International (CABI) and the Biotechnology and Biological Control Agency facilitate international collaboration and play a vital role in managing invasions by alien pests. In India, Directorate of Plant Protection, Quarantine and Storage (DPPQ&S), ICAR-NBPGR, ICAR-NBAIR and other crop-specific institutes of ICAR, Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare, Government of India are the bodies engaged in monitoring of invasive insects/invasive alien species. Thus, international collaboration plays a key role in research on the prevention of future invasions, the development of more effective surveillance and eradication methods and the implementation of classical biological control.

Horticultural crops comprise diverse economic species ranging from the fruits/nuts, vegetables, spices and condiments, ornamental plants, aromatic and medicinal plants. Besides the tangible materials, horticultural genetic resources (HGR) also encompass the indigenous knowledge accumulated over ages among gardeners, and which surround the use of such biological resources. Global climate change is causing challenges in productivity with the rise in global temperature and reduced amount of precipitation. It is crucial to develop strategies for effective conservation and judicious use of HGR to improve nutritional security and food safety for human health. This paper describes the present status of HGR in India, its scientific management aspects, including their diversity, conservation and sustainable use. It also addresses crucial concerns regarding conservation in India vis-à-vis recent advances in management of the HGR.

Plant Genetic Resources play an important role in the genetic enhancement of different crops leading to food and nutritional security of the nation. India is genetic diversity rich country with more than 4.62 lakh accessions of 2065 crop species conserved National Gene Bank at National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources, New Delhi. Oilseeds are integral part of the various crop breeding programmes under National Agricultural Research System. In case of nine edible oilseed crops grown in India 57977 accessions of 13 species are conserved in the National Gene. In general, it has been observed that the utilization of germplasm conserved in the National Gene Bank is very low. Characterization of the germplasm and identification of trait specific donors is pre-requisite for successful utilization in the various breeding programmes. In this direction efforts have been made by the Oilseed Breeders in the country and in addition to release and notification of 956 varieties of nine oilseed crops since 1969, 193 novel genetic stocks of different oilseed crops for different agro-morphological, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, high seed meal and oil quality traits have been registered with NBPGR. In addition, a large number of exotic collections have also been procured and being utilized in breeding programmes and more trait specific germplasm of all the oilseed crops has been identified along with their source country. For Atmanirbharta in edible oils in our country, we need to follow two-pronged strategy i.e. horizontal expansion targeting more area under oilseed crops and vertical expansion by deploying high yielding varieties and adoption of good agricultural practices. In vertical expansion breeding high yielding varieties is the main component which can be achieved with the use of diverse germplasm available globally. Hence, characterization and wider use of trait specific diverse germplasm of oilseed crops will be of great help in making the country Atmanirbhar in edible oils.
