ABOUT
Indian Institute of Oilseeds Research in Rajendranagar, Hyderabad, Telangana, India in year 1967 and IIOR established on the directions of a special committee formed by ICAR, with a purpose of a systematic and mission-oriented research programme to enhance the oilseed production. Initially there were 5 crops in the ambit of project i.e., rapeseed-mustard, groundnut, sesame, linseed and castor. IIOR established on the AICRP review committee suggestions of 2018, there is an approach to bring AICRP- Sesame & Niger again under IIOR from 01.04.2020. IIOR assists as a centre for supervising and coordinating research on all manner of groundnut, sesame, linseed and castor, etc.

7 |
Exploiting genetic diversity for improvement of safflower through genomics-assisted discovery of QTLs/genes associated with agronomic traits. |
1) Castor
Castor (Ricinus communis) is a principal industrial oilseed crop with 45%-55% oil and a specific fatty acid, ricinoleic acid (80%-93% of oil). Castor oil and its consequence are used in the production of several industrial items like medicine, laxatives, nail polishes, paintings etc. India considers for 69% of the world’s castor field and 85% of the production with a maximum productivity of 1.8 t/ha for year 2016 - 2017. Commercial utilisation of heterosis in castor led to a rise in productivity from <0.3 t ha-1 to 1.8 t ha-1 throughout the last five decennary in India.
2) Sunflower
Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is one of the valuable oilseed crops in country mainly evaluated for high variety of edible oil with thalamus as protein high feed. Due to its wide adjustability, and short period of time and it is cultivated in all extensive crop growing seasons, cropping systems and soil types. The capacity of sunflower is high in northern parts of country viz., Punjab, Haryana, Bihar, etc. in spring/zaid season. The development of hybrids in sunflower has become verified due to innovation of reliable cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) and restorer network.
3) Safflower
Safflower is a necessary source of high variety of edible oil. Minor uses incorporate as a human food and as poultry feed, petals as nutraceutical standard. It is cultured in about 20 countries in an area of 84 lakh hactre with a development of 2.2 lakh tonnes. Kazaksthan, Russia and India together promote about 70% of safflower field and 60% of production.
4) Sesame
Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is an antique oilseed crop and is an origin of high variety edible oil with pharmaceutical and nutraceutical worth for sesamin and sesamolin. It is traditionally produced in all regions in country. Different varieties of seed coat like white, black and shades of brown are regularly cultivated for its use as oil and confectionery needs. It is essentially a self-pollinated crop, but to some area of cross-pollination happens due to honeybees.
