Abstract: The present invention relates to the development of a novel, morphologically and genetically distinct khusinol rich essential oil producing clone of vetiver [Vetiveria zizaniodes (L.) Nash. syn. Chrysopogon zizanioides (L.) Roberty; family Poacaeae} named ‘CIMAP-Khusinolika’. The plant of this clone is characterized by spreading type clump canopy in the initial stage, white feathery stigma and capable of producing >1% (v/w) essential oil containing 45-50% Khusinol (v/v) obtained after hydro-distillation from fresh roots harvested from 6 month old plantations. This clone has unique ISSR profiles that serve as DNA-fingerprints. The clone was obtained through recurrent selection in polycrossed population generated from the bulk of wild collection, and can be propagated through vegetative slips (3 to 6 month old stem with few roots) for commercial plantation as a short duration crop.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the development of a novel high herb yielding essential oil herb variety of Krishna Tulsi (botanically known as Ocimum sanctum, from the Family—Lamiaceae, 2n=32), and hereinafter named as ‘CIM-AYU’. In particular, the invention is related to the development of a high eugenol yielding variety of Krishna Tulsi named ‘CIM-AYU’ through open pollination in the germplasm followed by recurrent progeny selection and evaluation for the yield characters of selected population for 3 years in field conditions. The selected variety is high yielding and stable in subsequent generations. This invention thus relates to the high yielding seeds, plants and plant parts of plant named ‘CIM-AYU’ and its components, to a method of producing named ‘CIM-AYU’, and to a method for producing high eugenol using ‘CIM-AYU’ as a pollinator or parent.

Abstract: The invention provides a simple method for isolation of calliterpenone (16?,17 dihydroxy-3-oxo phyllocladane), a phyllocladane diterpenoid with the plant growth regulating properties, from plant genus Callicarpa.

Abstract: Indian basil, Ocimum basilicum, belongs to the family of Lamiaceae. The essential oil of Indian basil extracted via hydro or steam distillation from the leaves or whole plants is used to flavor foods, dental and oral products, in fragrances, and in traditional rituals and medicines. Extracted essential oil has also been shown to contain biologically active constituents that are insecticidal, nematicidal, fungistatic or which have antimicrobial properties. The present invention relates to the development of an early, short duration, dwarf, high essential oil, methy chavicol and linalool yielding variety of Indian basil (Ocimum basilicum). Family—Lamiaceae) named as ‘CIM-SAUMYA’. This new variety of Indian basil was developed through open pollination in the germplasm followed by half-sib progeny selection and evaluation for the yield characters of selected population for 3 years in field conditions.

Abstract: The present invention was related to the development of a novel, distinct high yielding plant with rapid regeneration ability obtained through screening of the somaclones in a methodical way for fast regeneration in the tissue culture stage itself which was achieved by inventing the plant ‘Kushal’. The plant yield higher herbage with corresponding high essential oil when evaluated with available superior varieties of mint in late planting condition during April when the fields are vacated after the harvest of Rabi crop like wheat, chickpea, coriander etc. Further the suckers required for commercial vegetative planting can be produced even in low land condition as the plant is reasonably tolerant to water logging compared to the best check ‘Kosi’.

Abstract: The present invention provides a formulation for increasing the synthesis and accumulation of essential oil in aromatic plants and other plants. The formulation disclosed herein comprises a resistance inducer, such as an isomer of amino butyric acid or another amino acid, which is capable of increasing the synthesis of essential oil in an aromatic plant. The formulation may further comprise secondary metabolites as well as a carrier. Aromatic plants that may be used in the present invention include, but are not limited to, rose-scented geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) and menthol mint (Mentha arvensis). The present invention also provides a method of increasing the essential oil content in aromatic crops and other plants.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of a growth media for mass multiplication of bio-control fungi, comprising a chopped, shade-dried distillation waste in a plastic bag that is plugged with cotton followed by autoclaving and an inoculation of a strain of bio-control fungi such as Trichoderma harzianum or Gliocladium virens, and incubating the bags at room temperature for 14-30 days, and then shade drying and grinding the product to obtain a fine powder.

Abstract: The present invention is related to the development of a new and chromosomally distinct vegetatively propagated frost resisted plant of Cymbopogon flexuosus by genetic selection in open pollinated seed progeny of high yielding variety ‘Cauvery’.
