India is the second largest fruit-producing country in the world. A number of problems including diseases, insects, pests and various disorders are associated with fruit growing in India these problems can solve by utilising of Plant genetic resources. Inferior quality of planting material and poor orchard management are some of the reasons for the low productivity. Plant genetic resources are of great importance as they form the basic raw material to meet current and future needs of crops...

Crop wild relatives have a high level of genetic diversity with rare alleles that enabled them to survive in natural and adverse environments. Most plant breeders fear in using exotic or un-adapted material due to its initial detrimental effects like linkage drag on elite breeding material. It is a necessary first step in the use of diversity arising from wild relatives and...
