Progress reported towards <strong>the</strong> achievement <strong>of</strong> milestone for 2010 will contribute towards achievement <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

milestones listed below.<br />

Milestone: Ten advanced generation <strong>in</strong>terspecific derivatives screened for Helicoverpa, AB and BGM <strong>in</strong> target<br />

locations <strong>in</strong> India (NM/HCS/SP/PMG) 2012<br />

Milestone: Wild relatives with diverse mechanisms <strong>of</strong> resistance to Helicoverpa, AB, and BGM identified<br />

(HCS/SP/NM) 2009<br />

Evaluation <strong>of</strong> wild relatives <strong>of</strong> chickpea for resistance to Helicoverpa armigera: We evaluated seven accessions<br />

<strong>of</strong> wild relatives <strong>of</strong> chickpea, along with resistant (ICC 506) susceptible (ICCC 37, ICC 3137, and L 550) l<strong>in</strong>es <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> cultivated chickpea for resistance to pod borer, H. armigera us<strong>in</strong>g detached leaf assay. Ten neonate larvae <strong>of</strong> H.<br />

armigera were released on fresh term<strong>in</strong>al branches <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> test genotypes embedded <strong>in</strong> 3% agar-agar <strong>in</strong> 250 ml plastic<br />

cups. <strong>The</strong>re were five replications <strong>in</strong> a completely randomized design. Observations were recorded on weights <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

larvae on 10 th day after <strong>in</strong>itiat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> experiment. <strong>The</strong> larvae weighed 41.3 to 61.6 mg per larva when reared on IG<br />

70034 (Cicer judaicum), ICC 17148 (C. microphyllum), IG 70006 (C. bijugum), and ICC 69979 (C. cuneatum)<br />

compared to 74.2 to 79.6 mg on C. reticulatum (IG 72933 and IG 72953), 141.5 mg on Annigeri, 188.6 mg on ICC<br />

506, 225.2 mg on L 550, and 222.3 mg on ICC 3137. <strong>The</strong> results suggested high levels <strong>of</strong> antibiosis to H. armigera<br />

<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> wild relatives <strong>of</strong> chickpea belong<strong>in</strong>g to <strong>the</strong> tertiary gene pool (C. judaicum, C. bijugum, C. cuneatum, and C.<br />

microphyllum), and moderate levels <strong>of</strong> resistance <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> secondary gene pool (C. reticulatum), and low levels <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

cultigen.<br />

In ano<strong>the</strong>r experiment, 12 accessions <strong>of</strong> wild relatives were tested along with resistant (ICC 506) and susceptible<br />

(ICC 3137) checks under greenhouse and field conditions. <strong>The</strong> term<strong>in</strong>al branches were <strong>in</strong>fested with 10 neonate<br />

larvae <strong>of</strong> H. armigera us<strong>in</strong>g detached leaf assy. At five days after <strong>in</strong>itiat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> experiment, <strong>the</strong> larval weights were<br />

lower on ICC 69979, IG 70032, IG 70034, and ICC 17248 (
