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.

    “DIFFERENTIAL GENE EXPRESSION ANALYSIS FOR DOWNY MILDEW (Sclerospora graminicola Sacc.) IN PEARL MILLET (Pennisetum glaucum L.)”
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2012) KRISHNABAHEN C. PATADIYA; Dr. Y. M. Shukla
    Pearl millet (Pennisetum glauccum (L.) R. Br.) is an annual, cross pollinating, monocot crop belonging to the family Poaceae and sub family Penicedae. It is the sixth most important cereal of the world and has critical value as food security in some of the world’s hottest and driest cultivated areas of Africa and Asia. However, the crop faces constraints to the productivity which includes the prevalence of different biotic and abiotic stresses. Among them, the major biotic constraint in pearl millet production is downy mildew disease caused by the pathogen Sclerospora graminicola (Sacc.) which has a great negative impact on the Indian economy with an estimated yield loss of up to 40–60%. The present work was carried out with an aim to find out the candidate genes responsible for resistance in pearl millet against downy mildew and comparison of gene expression between control and infected (different time interval) tissues within susceptible and resistant genotypes through RT-PCR. The current study helped to understand

    “MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF RED RICE GENOTYPES (Oryza sativa L.)”
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2012) DESAI AMRUTA S.; Dr. Subhash N.
    Rice is one of the most important staple foods for a larger part of the world’s population. Among the major micronutrient problems common in rice-consuming countries, iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) deficiencies are highly predominant. Red rice is traditional pigmented rice grown in Southeast Asia. It is considered highly nutritive and medicinal as it possesses antioxidant properties and also has a higher content of important micronutrient like Fe and Zn. Hence it is utilized as an objective in breeding programs for the nutritional improvement of cultivated varieties. The present study focuses on approach to characterize
