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 is related to the development of a novel, distinct high herb and artemisinin yielding genotype of Artemisia annua obtained through systematic marker assisted breeding followed by selection of uniform population in a methodical way wherein the genotype is distinct, uniform and stably maintainable by continuous rouging of off types in the population using DNA marker at early seedling stage from nursery itself and suitable for commercial cultivation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a high herb yielding essential oil herb variety of Krishna Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum, Family—Lamiaceae, 2n=32) named as ‘CIM-AYU’, more particularly, 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 generation. 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: This invention relates to a new distinct early maturing, high seed and husk yielding variety of psyllium (Plantago ovata) designated as var. ‘Mayuri’ with the distinct pigment marker of the panicles relatable to the maturity thereby indicating the right harvesting stage to prevent the seed shattering, a problem in psyllium. This variety was developed by mutation breeding (gamma rays irradiation) and propagated by seeds for commercial cultivation. The new variety could be differentiated from the other variety through unique RAPD profile and has been tested for uniformity and stability of characters defined. Psyllium plant ‘Mayuri’ with stage marker and early maturity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an efficient process of vermicomposting and production of high-quality vermicompost from agro-waste(including distillation waste) using animal urine such as cattle urine.

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 relates to a new and distinct high essential oil variety of lemon grass (Cymbopogon flexuosus) named as ‘Nima’. Further the invention relates to the high content of the monoterpene citral in the essential oil. This novel variety ‘Nima’ of the lemon grass is a selection from the open pollinated seedlings of the seeds obtained from another Cymbopogon flexuosus variety OD 19 from the germplasm collection of CIMAP. This variety is propagated through vegetative means using the slips and stable for commercial cultivation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an opiumless and alkaloid-free non-narcotic opium poppy designated as var. Sujata having the following morphological/argonomic features: Days to 50% flowering 100-105 Plant height (cm)  80-100 Peduncle length (cm)  18-20 Peduncle colour Patchy-black No. of capsules/branches per plant  3-4 Capsule shape Flat Capsule surface ˜glabrous (white bloom +) No. of stigmatic rays per capsule  10-12 Shape and size of stigmatic rays slightly small, flattened Latex-flow on incision Absent Seed count per gram of weight 3040-3310 Seed colour Dull-white Seed shape Reniform Seed size Bold (Thickness ++) Seed yield (g/m2) 120-140 Straw yield (g/m2) 135-150 (Capsule hulls) Opium alkaloids in straw Absent.

Abstract: The present invention relates a hexane bioactive fraction and obtained from the roots of an aromatic plant named Vetiveria zizanioides commonly found in India for inhibiting the growth of drug resistant bacterial infections in humans and animals; also relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the bioactive extract with other additives for inhibiting the growth of drug resistant bacterial infections in humans and animals and a process for the isolation of said bioactive extract

Abstract: The invention relates to a disease resistant and high yielding variety of opium poppy plant (Papaver somniferum L. 2n=22) christened as ‘Rakshit’.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new and distinct mint plant of Mentha piperita ‘Cim Indus’, selected through screening, field trial and analysis of monoterpene constituents of the essential oil of the germplasm, possessing the characters of producing high amount of menthofuran ranging between 22 to 30% of total oil content, high amount pulegone ranging between 9.0 to 18% of total oil content, with essential oil content ranging between 0.32 to 0.40% of the total oil content.
