	Transgenic Crops in India Several transgenic crops have been developed in India or imported from abroad either for direct field testing or for involving them in plant breeding programmes to develop varieties that are adapted to Indian conditions, but carried transgenes.
Transgenic crops being developed In several laboratories in India, transgenic crops have been successfully produced. In still other cases, transgenic work is still in progress and transgenic plants will soon become available. The details of the laboratories where this work is in progress, at the beginning of the year 2002, are given in Table 35.10. Programmes are also underway to develop transgenic pulse crops including chickpea and pigeonpea.
Transgenic crops field-tested Among crops that were field tested in India during 1996-2001, the main crops are cotton, brinjal, tomato and rice. While Bt-cotton, that was grown without approval in large areas (> 10,000 hectares) in Gujarat in the year 2001, was later field tested (Mahyco-Monsanto) and approved for commercial cultivation in the year 2002. Several other transgenic crops have been approved for large scale field trials.
For instance, the first large scale Bt.-rice (IR64 and Basmati, carrying Bt-gene) field trials were conducted in the year 2001. Similar trials have also been conducted in brinjal and tomato. In the private sector, Proagro is conducting large scale field trials of hybrid Brassica juncea, developed from transgenic male-sterile (due to barnase) and restorer lines (due to barstar). This hybrid mustard could not receive approval for commercial cultivation in the year 2002, but should receive this approval in 2003-04.
