Abstract
Based on our study, we conclude that because of its long, spreading awns and small and soft grains, the land race Tank is not preferred by the monkeys. The wisdom and experience of hill farmers were used and ‘Tank’ land race was registered with the National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources, New Delhi vide INGR Number 06006 (IC 398287). This will help in protecting the national interest on sovereign rights, community rights, biopiracy, unlawful patenting and misuse of native, indigenous plant wealth.
