Importance of Mustard Breeding
- The barnase-barstar GE mustard technology is aimed at
developing efficient hybrid seed production system in widely cultivated Indian mustard (Brassica juncea)
- DMH-11 hybrid, based on barnase-barstar technology, is the
first public sector mustard hybrid developed by Delhi University South Campus with the funding of DBT and NDDB
- In the past, the Brassica group at Delhi University South
Campus identified and developed the cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) based conventional mustard hybrid DMH-1 way back in early 2000
- Subsequently, many public and private sector institutions
have developed CMS based mustard hybrids, however, constrained with various limitations associated with CMS systems

The Enormity of Edible Oil Problem
- 60 lakh mustard farmers grow mustard over 6.5 million ha
contributing 30% of total domestic edible oil production
- Indian mustard farmers suffer from very low mustard
productivity as low as 1000 kg per hectare – one third of those in Canada, China and Australia
- A narrow variability in mustard germplasm and multiple
biotic and abiotic stresses affect potential yield realization
- India is hugely edible oil deficit country and annually imports
- approx. 14.5 million tons of edible oil worth Rs. 78,000 crore
to meet domestic requirement pegged at 20 million tons
- Imported edible oils comprise of palm oil, GE soybean and
GE canola oil
- Indian farmers are at disadvantage viz-a-viz imported edible
- il due to lack of access to innovation farm technologies
