Molecular mapping of dominant gene responsible for leaf curl virus resistance in chilli pepper ( L.).

A resistant source (S-343) having monogenic dominant resistance to chilli leaf curl virus disease (ChiLCVD) has been identified at Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), Ludhiana. The F mapping population of 204 plants was derived from the cross MS-341 (susceptible) × S-343 (resistant) to identify the linked marker with the disease-resistant gene. Out of the 685 single-sequence repeats (SSRs) used, only 160 primers showed parental polymorphism.

Gene pyramiding for elite tomato genotypes against ToLCV ( spp.), late blight () and RKN ( spp.) for northern India farmers.

Mega variety with multiple disease and pest tolerance is one of the major research objectives to protect the crop from biotic stresses in current scenario of climate change. Three tomato leaf curl virus resistance genes (-- and -), two late blight resistance genes (- and -) and one root knot nematodes resistance gene (-) were pyramided from different donor parents with the help of marker-assisted backcrossing followed by phenotypic selection. During 2016-2017 (August-March), 100 lines of BCF mapping population were evaluated against these diseases and pest screening.

Development of cytoplasmic male sterile lines in chilli ( L.) and their evaluation across multiple environments.

A breeding program was initiated in 2009 to develop temperature stable CMS lines in chilli. 'CCA 4261' was used as a CMS donor. From the 11 testcross progeny screened, maintainer plants were identified from 'SL 461', 'SL 462' and 'SD 463'.
