Diverse materials with several adaptive traits
Local landraces have better adaptability Good combiners from local land races Genotypes can be preferably used as female line
Utilisation of Near-Related species that offer natural tolerance to stresses Good Crossing ability among some Genus/ species Protecting and strengthening conservation programs of
genetic diversity and special efforts on Farmer’s Participation for on-site preservation of local land races
Adaptive traits differ according to the climatic conditions; emphasis on early and medium maturing hybrids

Climate change and Abiotic-Biotic factors
Understanding climate change in NE region
Crops and varieties are required to withstand unpredictable biotic and abiotic stresses
Manage Limited / Excess water stress (anaerobic) Water lodging (germination/flowering/grain filling) Drought in winter season Monitoring of stresses: Intensity and Duration Germination & Seedling Establishment under prolonged high
moisture condition (Anaerobic)
Low-Nitrogen tolerance and increase Nitrogen Use Efficiency
Disease resistance (BLSB, TLB)

Marker Assisted SelectionVivek QPM 9
New breeding method based on genotypic selection
Genetic architecture of the trait should decide ways of marker intervention (Rex Bernardo, 2008)
In Genotype X environment interaction if genotype explains larger portion of variation then genetic markers can be used to select desirable phenotype; if phenotype is determined largely by environment then changes in agronomy are effective in producing desirable types
