Promising Introductions in Horticultural Plants and Oil Seeds 83(e)OrchidsOrchids are most beautiful flowers which.are valued as cutflowers. Most of the commercial hybrids and species generallybelong to the genera Cymbidium, Cattlaya, Dendrobium, Paphiopediumetc. N<strong>BP</strong>GR has introduced 23 hybrids/ cultivars from Thailand,Australia and passed on to IIHR, Bangalore ..III. . Oil Seed CropsDiverse germplasm of over 27160 accessions of differentoilseed crops from more than 26 countries were introduced during1976-1994 viz., groundnut 3198 accessions; sunflower 3819accessions; sesamum over 3800 accessions; safflower 5321accessions (this includes duplicates); rapeseed & mustard 3069accessions; soybean above 7220 accessions; linseed 542 accessions;castor 120 accessions and selected germplasm collections ofoilpalm (74 accessions). The gennplasm resources were madeavailable to coordinated project in oilseeds/ oilseed researchworkers in the country and public and private sector.(a)Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea)Several promising cultivars like Banting, Petandur, Tapis,Anoa, Typai, Gagas, Rusa (EL.170361-367 ex Indonesia), Taining4,5, Taman Sel. 69 (EC-170433 -455 ex Taiwan) UPLPN-2, ACC 72,CBS 2-25, F 334-33, PI 118200, M 10, CBS 101, CES 102, (BC 168099-106 ex Philippines); Lompong, SK 38, Taiwan 9 (BC 169319-321 exThailand), rust resistant lines (EC 115767-80 USA), droughtresistant early types (BC 115992-993 ex Senegal) were introduced.A large number of Arachis species like A. villosa, A. spinalba,A. batizacoi, A. chacoensis, A. correntina, A. stenosperma, A. duranensis,A. rigonii, A. paraguariensis were. also introduced.(b)Sunflower (Helianthus annuus)The promising introductions include improved cultivars/hybrids, cytoplasmic made sterile lines, maintainers/restorers,source of resistance to Alternaria blight and downy mildew, lineswith high oil content. Some of the useful introductions include birdresistant strains-BRS1, BRS-2, BS5-3 (Be 172473-475 ex USA),CMSHA 207 and HA 207 (ex USA), CM 306, CH 77/ HA 89(sel -2) CH 77/HA 89 (sel-2), RHA 265, CMS 400, CH 77/HA 89
