 started with the major emphasis afterwards, my research was to develop a high-yielding variety of basmati quality. That was my major work, 25 years I worked on it. It is a very complex trait, the quality in basmati is very complex, genetically very complex, because you have to improve all the starch characteristics. Every character is not simply inherited and more and above you have to have the yield of the high-yielding varieties. So to combine all the quality features of the traditional basmati with yield is not an easy task. It took nearly 25 years for me and a couple of people who worked with me and my students. And finally we succeeded in developing the pusa basmati one, which was actually a very big breakthrough, because for that variety nobody could have actually developed that kind of plant type with basmati quality, because that has been used very extensively by both the public and private sector and still it is a ruling variety that one stage some people came to me, they asked, you are working for so many years still you have not come out with that high-yielding basmati rice. I don't want to name them, they were very highly placed people. I told them when they were visiting the field and that person very sarcastically asked me that should we bring actually Norman Borlaug to develop the kind of basmati you are trying to develop. I told him in the presence of many people, you may bring not one Borlaug, you can bring many Borlaugs. If a person understands the complex nature of this basmati quality and you have to combine with high-yield background of the new plant type varieties, it will not be possible. But in the next 3-4 years we came out with this, the major problem was elongation, that is the characteristic of basmati rice, excessive elongation on cooking. That took nearly 7-8 years for me and my students, at least half a dozen students worked on this problem alone. And it was actually I would say I should thank God that finally, you see, whole day in the day time we will be in the field, selecting the material of the required plant type, I mean desired plant type and also yield potential, everything we will be selecting. In the evening hours we will come and cook and see how they are. And there were nights, I slept in the lab but we were disappointed every time, the kind of type we wanted we could not easily combine.
