Germplasm distribution
Germplasm distributionICRISAT
?
The ICRISAT genebank distributed over 1.4 million germplasm samples to scientists in 145 countries in accordance with the MLS of ITPGRFA. The majority of samples were distributed to universities (45%), national agricultural research systems (33%), and CGIAR centers (15%). Over half a million samples were distributed within ICRISAT, mainly of sorghum, pearl millet, chickpea, pigeonpea, and groundnut. Additionally, the genebank repatriated over 55,000 accessions to nine countries to replenish collections lost to disasters.Flowering-stage heat tolerance in pearl millet
Flowering-stage heat tolerance in pearl milletICRISAT
?
The document summarizes research on screening pearl millet lines for heat tolerance at flowering stage. Key findings include:
1) Field screening at multiple locations over three years identified lines with good seed set (>50%) at temperatures above 42¡ãC, including lines ICMB 05666, ICMB 92777, and germplasm line IP 19877.
2) Growth chamber studies found the boot leaf stage was more sensitive to heat than panicle emergence stage, and stigma was more sensitive than pollen to heat stress.
3) Crossing studies showed heat tolerance is a dominant trait in pearl millet, with one heat tolerant parent sufficient to produce a heat tolerant hybrid.Germplasm assembly
Germplasm assemblyICRISAT
?
The document summarizes the germplasm assembled by ICRISAT's genebank from various sources between 1975-2012. Over 120,000 plant accessions have been collected, representing over 75 countries. Key sources include 293 organizations that have contributed over 82,000 accessions, as well as 216 collecting missions led by ICRISAT that gathered over 33,000 additional accessions. The collection focuses on mandate crops like sorghum, pearl millet, chickpea and pigeonpea. Future efforts will aim to fill geographical, ecological and taxonomic gaps to create a more complete collection.Genetic resources documentation
Genetic resources documentationICRISAT
?
This document discusses genetic resource documentation at ICRISAT. It maintains four categories of information for each accession: passport data, conservation data, characterization data, and distribution data. Staff are engaged in entering, verifying, scanning, and photocopying germplasm documentation. They also use GIS software to assign geographic coordinates to over 30,000 accessions with location data. Scientists at ICRISAT have published numerous articles, book chapters, and other materials to disseminate knowledge about the genebank collections.Eccentricity from transit_photometry_small_planets_in_kepler_multi_planet_sys...

Query Plan Generation using Particle Swarm Optimization
Query Plan Generation using Particle Swarm OptimizationAkshay Jain
?
This document discusses using particle swarm optimization to generate query plans in a distributed database system. It notes that joins are an important operation but generating all possible query plans leads to exponential growth. Particle swarm optimization is proposed to produce low-cost query plans by modeling query planning as particles that track the best solutions. The approach breaks queries into local subqueries, executes them in parallel, and combines results to reduce data transfer and response times compared to alternative algorithms like genetic algorithms. The goal is to optimize query performance by selecting plans with minimum processing costs.Germplasm conservation

The ICRISAT genebank stores seed germplasm in different facilities based on storage time and conditions needed to maintain viability. Seeds are dried and stored in moisture-proof containers under controlled temperature and humidity in short, medium, and long-term stores. The long-term store at -20¡ãC can maintain viability above 85% for 50+ years. Non-seed producing species are maintained as live plants in a field genebank or glasshouse. Safety backups of germplasm are stored at other regional and international seed banks.Genetic enhancement of groundnut
Genetic enhancement of groundnutICRISAT
?
Groundnut varieties are being developed with multiple resistances to diseases and drought tolerance in short and medium duration varieties through screening, identifying desirable genes from other sources, and hybridization. Breeding efforts also focus on screening for confectionery traits, high oil content, and resistance to groundnut rosette disease.Revised schedule-vi-print-disabled-1

The document provides information on the revised Schedule VI to the Companies Act applicable from the 2011-2012 financial year. Some key changes introduced in the revised Schedule VI include a new prescribed format for the statement of profit and loss based on the nature of accounts, appropriations of profit now forming part of notes to accounts rather than the statement of profit and loss, removal of schedules and inclusion of all details in notes to accounts, and balance sheet and profit and loss statement now only required to be presented in a vertical format. The revised Schedule VI is also applicable to consolidated financial statements and comparative figures for 2010-2011 need to be presented in the revised format.Case 19 harley davidson inc. 2008 IUBAT

Harley Davidson presented a case study on the company's current performance and strategic posture. In 2008, Harley Davidson saw declines in revenue, net income, earnings per share, and motorcycles sold compared to 2007. However, the company maintained its mission to fulfill customer dreams through extraordinary motorcycles and experiences. Key strategies included getting costs under control, funding for Harley Davidson Financial Services, and investing in the brand. An analysis of external factors found opportunities in international growth but also threats from rising fuel prices and a potential recession. Internally, strengths included financing availability and brand loyalty, while weaknesses were lower sales volumes and higher prices.
