capacity building and international collaborations.The research
programmes of the Institute were carried out under70 institutional
and25externallyaidedprojects.Threenewvarietiesofdifferentpulsecropsviz.,Shubhraofkabulichickpea,
Sweta of mungbean andIPU 02-43 of urdbean have been developed
forcultivationindifferentagro-ecologicalregions.SeveralpromisinggenotypescombiningresistancetomajorbioticstresseswithhighyieldpotentialsareattheadvancedstageoftestinginAICRPs.Molecularcharacterizationof32isolatesofFusariumudumcollectedfromdifferentpartsofthecountrywasdone.ChickpeagenotypesDCP92-3andC235transformedwithCry1Acgeneconfirmedtheexpressionoftransgenewhensubjectedtoinsect

fieldpea(var.
HUDP15andIPF99-25)usingsevendsRNAgene.FourCMSbasedhybridsofshortdurationpigeonpea
have been found promising. Over 3870 germplasm accessions of
different
pulsecropswereevaluatedandcharacterized.Underconservationagriculture,cropresiduemanagement,raisedbedplantingandzerotillageproved
promising. Newstrainsof PGPR(PSB11, PS8) havebeen identified.1HNMR,
FTIR and 13CNMR analysis of latex of calotropis indicated presence
of polymer ofcarbamate containing isoprene unit. GBNV was
identified as causal virus of leaf curl diseaseofmungbean. Presence
ofchlorogenicacidinrootsof chickpeaandperoxidise (PO)
andphenylalanime ammonia lyase (PAL) in pigeonpea showed positive
correlation with toleranceto Fusariumwilt.Newmachines such

research programmes on heat tolerance in chickpea, impact of
climate change onpest and diseases scenario, molecular
characterization and sequences diversity of
