1. National Meet - Distant Hybridization in Horticultural Crop Imprevement on January 22-23, 2015 at IIHR, Bangalore
In several of the annual vegetable crops like tomato, peppers, cucurbits, okra, onion and legumes inter-specific hybridization has been very widely used. However, there is great scope considering new emerging biotic and abiotic stresses. In crops like mango the wild relatives have not yet been evaluated/utilized. Hence, there is vast scope for sharing ideas and experiences. Keeping this in view a two-day meet is being organized to discuss the issues, problems related to distant hybridization and to adopt further approaches in horticultural crops with the aegis of “Society for Promotion of Horticulture”. This two day meet is undoubtedly unique in bringing together researchers and students and anyone interested, and also to those who intend to work in the area of distant hybridization or utilization of wild relatives of horticultural crop plants as it provides the platform for the exchange ideas and expertise.
