摘要:
Indian basil, Ocimum basilicum, belongs to the family of Lamiaceae. The essential oil of Indian basil extracted via hydro or steam distillation from the leaves or whole plants is used to flavor foods, dental and oral products, in fragrances, and in traditional rituals and medicines. Extracted essential oil has also been shown to contain biologically active constituents that are insecticidal, nematicidal, fungistatic or which have antimicrobial properties. The present invention relates to the development of an early, short duration, dwarf, high essential oil, methy chavicol and linalool yielding variety of Indian basil (Ocimum basilicum). Family—Lamiaceae) named as ‘CIM-SAUMYA’. This new variety of Indian basil was developed through open pollination in the germplasm followed by half-sib progeny selection and evaluation for the yield characters of selected population for 3 years in field conditions. The new cultivar possesses better growth and vegetative growth and is able to produce higher herbage, oil and better combination of methyl chavicol and linalool yield per unit area as compared to other control genotypes.

A new and distinct high essential oil variety of lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus) is named ‘Nima’. Further, the invention relates to the high content of the monoterpene citral in the essential oil. This novel variety ‘Nima’ of lemongrass is a selection from the open pollinated seedlings of the seeds obtained from another Cymbopogon flexuosus variety OD 19 from the germ plasm collection of CIMAP. This variety is propagated through vegetative means using the slips and is stable for commercial cultivation.

This invention relates to a new distinct early maturing, high seed and husk yielding variety of psyllium (Plantago ovata) designated as var. ‘Mayuri’ with the distinct pigment marker of the panicles relatable to the maturity thereby indicating the right harvesting stage to prevent the seed shattering, a problem in psyllium. This variety was developed by mutation breeding (gamma rays irradiation) and propagated by seeds for commercial cultivation. The new variety could be differentiated from the other variety through unique RAPD profile and has been tested for uniformity and stability of characters defined. Psyllium plant ‘Mayuri’ with stage marker and early maturity.
