Anand Agricultural University, Anand

Anand Agricultural University (AAU) was established in 2004 at Anand with the support of the Government of Gujarat, Act No.(Guj 5 of 2004) dated April 29, 2004. Caved out of the erstwhile Gujarat Agricultural University (GAU), the dream institution of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Dr. K. M. Munshi, the AAU was set up to provide support to the farming community in three facets namely education, research and extension activities in Agriculture, Horticulture Engineering, product Processing and Home Science. At present there seven Colleges, seventeen Research Centers and six Extension Education Institute working in nine districts of Gujarat namely Ahmedabad, Anand, Dahod, Kheda, Panchmahal, Vadodara, Mahisagar, Botad and Chhotaudepur AAU's activities have expanded to span newer commodity sectors such as soil health card, bio-diesel, medicinal plants apart from the mandatory ones like rice, maize, tobacco, vegetable crops, fruit crops, forage crops, animal breeding, nutrition and dairy products etc. the core of AAU's operating philosophy however, continues to create the partnership between the rural people and committed academic as the basic for sustainable rural development. In pursuing its various programmes AAU's overall mission is to promote sustainable growth and economic independence in rural society. AAU aims to do this through education, research and extension education. Thus, AAU works towards the empowerment of the farmers.

    BIOCHEMICAL AND MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF SWEET CORN (Zea mays L.)
    (AAU, Anand, 2013) SALEHA, BASHIRAHMED DIWAN; Dr. J. G. Talati
    Investigations were carried out at the Department of Biochemistry and the Department of Biotechnology, B. A College of Agriculture, A. A. U., Anand to study the biochemical and molecular characterization of different fourteen sweet corn (Zea mays L.) genotypes procured from Main Maize Research Station, Godhara. These genotypes were screened through analysis of proximate composition for various biochemical parameters, protein analysis through SDSPAGE electrophoresis, isozymes study, enzyme activity and SSR analysis. Among maize breeders, there is heightened awareness of necessity for both maintaining genetic diversity for crop improvement and improving the quality of genetic resources management.

    EFFECT OF BENZYLADENINE ON BIOCHEMICAL CHANGES DURING WATER DEFICIT STRESS IN PEARL MILLET SEEDLING
    (AAU, Anand, 2013) JOSHI, PRATHMESH GOVIND; Dr. J. J. Dhruve
    Benzyladenine is synthetic cytokinin accelerates the germination process (Maria et al., 2004). Benzyladenine accelerates the passage of cell from G1 to G2. It can increase plant height, leaf area, chlorophyll and pigment content. BA increased proline, carbohydrares, soluble protein, total amino acid, peroxidase activity, mineral content. BA increased the activity of leaf peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase in PEG induced water deficit stress in groundnut (Dhruve et al., 2009). The effect of benzyladenine on growth of seedling, ATP pool size and the rate and amount of RNA synthesis. (Sussex, 1975). Chlorophyll content and relative water content is increase in application of benzyl adenine (Dhruve and Vakharia, 2008). Therefore efforts have been made in present study to characterize as well assess the difference and effect of benzyladenine under water deficit stress on two pearl millet seedlings showing resistance/susceptible reaction against water deficit pearl millet seedlings which were collected from Regional Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand.
