The present invention relates to the development of a novel, morphologically and genetically distinct khusinol rich essential oil producing clone of vetiver [(L.) Nash. syn.(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 &#x3e;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.

Vetiver plant named 'CIMAP-KHUSINOLIKA'

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'.

Mint plant 'Kushal' for late transplanting

The present invention relates to a new and distinct mint plant of'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.
