102 Deep Chandof Sri Lanka and South West Indies. Ginger (Zingiber officinale),the country of origin is not known but certainty presumed to bein the region of India or China (Purseglove, 1977). Other importantginger growing countries are Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Jamaica,Taiwan and Australia; Turmeric (Curcuma Zanga syn. C. domestica),place of origin is presumed to be South Asia and cultivated specieshave naturalized in some areas of north eastern India and Islandsof Java:Condiments : Grain spices or minor spices constitute a group ofcondiments which have considerable opportunity for cropimprovement by introducing high yielding, better qualitygermplasm (genotypes) from mediterranean region.Utilization of Exotic GermplasmThe main recepients of germplasm introductions made by theBureau were the net work of All India Coordinated Project onMedicinal and Aromatic Plants, National Research Centre forSpices, various coordinating centres and scientists handlinggermplasm in agricultural universities and other centres. Besides,the Bureau too evaluated and conducted performance trials of suchmaterials at its headquarters and some of its regional stations.These efforts culminated in the identification of several promisinggenotypes, some of which are released as primary introductions.Promising IntroductionsIntroduction activities resulted in selection of promisingmaterials in crop plants. In this context mention may be made ofsome of the recent promising introductions in the following :Opium poppy: Accession (EC 179777 ex Hungry) is tall, late inflowering and bear small sized capsules rich in alkaloid content,line (Ee 196429 ex Finland) yields morphine (0.40-0.82%) and subsp. satigerum (Ee 232605 ex West Germany) presently being usedin specific crossing programmes.Licorice: A selection of the accession (Ee 114303 ex USSR) nowplaced under cultivation in Western and Central parts of thecountry produces 20-30 cm long thick stolens containing 5.5-8.0%of total glycyrrhizic acid acceptable to user ,industry in the country(Gupta et al., 1988). Another introduction (EC 120170) provedrei a tively resistant to rhizctonia root rot and showed response tohigher yield at closer planting.
Priorities for Promising Plant Introductions 103Psyllium: Accession (Be 321635) established well at Anand centre,mutants from accession (Be 42706) developed (Ee 42706-1, 42706-11 A, 42706-2/P2) were found promising in multilocation testingat some of the centres.Henbane : In the genus Hyoscyamus (H. aureus var. rhodes)accession (Be 251945) performed better with higher foliage yieldcontaining 0.207% total alkaloids. H. muticus (Be 251936, BC251938) produced higher herbage yield with average of 0.511% oftotal tropane alkaloids tested at Indore centre and H. aibus (BC146198) observed superior genotype providing dry herbage yield(24.67 g/plant) and total alkaloids (0.089%). H. niger (Ee 251943) __performed well prOViding higher fresh and dry herb yield of 408.33glplant at Indore centre. Ee 115996 of foxglove (Digitalis lanata.)from Poland was selected for higher content of glycoside in tRefoliage at Solan centre. Twenty accessions of different medicinaland aromatic plants established well at different coordinatedcentres at GAU, Anand (Gujarat), Yercaud (TN), Solan (HP),Indore (MP) and N<strong>BP</strong>GR Regional Station, Bhowali. These areDigitalis purpurea (Ee 202761 & Ee 303213), D. ambigua (Ee 333801-02 ex Japan), Aconitum nepallus (Ee 303220), Solanum laciniatum(303294), Salvia sclarea (Be 182901-02, Ee 314221, Ee 314226 andEe 314327), S. officinalis (Ee 314321). Seed setting started underSolan conditions in Silybum marinum (Ee 314324 Ee 308204 exHungary), Anacyclus pyrethrum (Ee 281897 ex France), A. depress us(Ee 340085), Melissa officinalis (EC 273873), Valeriana officinalis (Ee314322), Hypericum perforatum (BC 303214), Pimpinella saxifraga (EC314319), Papaver bracteatum (Ee 179994) Asparagus officinalis (EC280562-63 ex Russia), Satureja hortensis (Ee 328517 ex Iran),Hyssopus officinalis (Be 174790). "Periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus syn. Vinca rosea) : AICP on M& AP has identified "an accession (BC 120837 ex Poland) havingtotalleaf alkaloid yield (25.215 kg/ha), total root alkaloid yield(2.49%) and alkaloids Ajmalicine + serpentine (0.33%) whichoutyielded in different agrodimatic conditions (<strong>Singh</strong> et al., 1992).Ocimum : Its oil is used in perfumery and food flavouringindustry. Ocimilm basilicum (Be 176934 from France) with thehighest percentage of'oil (0.43%) and linalool (76.86%) and 43 exoticgermplasm lines were identified under Delhi condition for majorchemical components.
