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.

    “PHENOTYPIC AND MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF CHICKPEA ROOT NODULE BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM DIFFERENT AREAS OF MIDDLE GUJARAT
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2007) HINGE VIDYA RAMESH; Dr. G. C. Jadeja
    An investigation was carried out to study the diversity of chickpea Root Nodule Bacteria (RNB) isolated from different areas of middle Gujarat, using various phenotypic and molecular techniques. In all, 22 RNB isolates of chickpea, comprising 18 RNB isolates from different areas of middle Gujarat, two from IARI, one each from Dharwad and one commercial culture (GSFC, Vadodara), were studied with five standard strains of Rhizobium and one standard strain of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The 18 RNB isolates were selected and confirmed as Rhizobium, using several biochemical tests and the pure cultures were preserved on YEMA slants for further study.

    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2008) KHANORKAR TANVI SUBHASH; Dr. R. S. Fougat
    An investigation was carried out at Plant Biotechnology Laboratory, Department of Agricultural Biotechnology, B.A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand to develop amphidiploids using colchicine treatment and analyse the extent of diversity present in the parents by using RAPD and SSR markers and genetic purity testing of inter-specific (Gossypium herbaceum x Gossypium arboreum) hybrids of desi cotton. The experimental material comprised of five genotypes of G. herbaceum as female parents and seven genotypes of G. arboreum as male parents and their nine F1 interspecific hybrids and nine C1 amphidiploids

    MOLECULAR AND BIOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF CHICKPEA (CICER ARIETINUM L.) GENOTYPES
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2008) Suthar K.P.; Dr. R. Bhatnagar
    Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L) is the second most important pulse crop in area under cultivation world wide after dry beans, but ranks third in terms of production. India rank first in the production of chickpea. The present investigation was carried out at Molecular Biology Laboratory, Department of Biochemistry, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand to study the varietal differences with the help of molecular techniques viz. Random Amplification of Polymorphic DNA [RAPD (14 primers)] and Sequence Tagged Microsatellite

    MOLECULAR AND BIOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF QUALITY PROTEIN MAIZE (QPM) GENOTYPES
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2008) Panfair Dilraj Kaur M.; Dr. R. Bhatnagar
    Present investigation on “MOLECULAR AND BIOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF QUALITY PROTEIN MAIZE (QPM) GENOTYPES” was carried out on 25 QPM genotypes. Among maize breeders, there is heightened awareness of the necessity for both maintaining genetic diversity for crop improvement and improving the quality of genetic resources management. SSR analysis is powerful tool for grouping germplasm. Fifteen SSR markers were multiplexed in two panels on an automated DNA sequencer. Sixty six alleles were detected which served as raw data for estimating genetic similarity and the average number of allele was 4.7 per locus with Polymorphic information content (PIC) of 0.61.

    MOLECULAR MARKER POLYMORPHISM AND HYBRID PERFORMANCE IN PEARL MILLET [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R Br. emend. Stuntz] FOR YIELD AND DROUGHT RESISTANCE TRAITS
    (Anand Agricultural University, 2008) VIPULKUMAR BHARATBHAI PAREKH; Dr. G. C. JADEJA
    Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br. emend. Stuntz) is one of the important staple food crops of India. It demonstrates highest level of tolerance to drought and heat, amongst domesticated cereals. Consequently, it is grown on more than 26 million hectors in arid and semi arid regions of Africa and India

    MOLECULAR AND BIOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF SOME ELITE GENOTYPES OF FINGER MILLET (Eleusine coracana L. Gaertn
    (Anand Agricultural University, 2008) MORE AMAR SUDARSHAN; Dr. Y. M. Shukla
    Finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.) is one of the important millets followed by Pearl millet. It is highly nutritious and has got adaptability to a wide range of climatic zones. The present investigation was carried out at Molecular Biology Laboratory, Department of Biochemistry, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand to study the varietal differences with the help of molecular techniques viz. random amplification of polymorphic DNA [RAPD (20 primers)] and single sequence repeats [SSR (9 mapped microsatellite loci) ] as well as by the analysis of proximate composition, isozymes banding pattern and seed protein profiling of 30 finger millet genotypes received from all over country

    “GENETIC DIVERSITY ANALYSIS AND AMPLIFICATION OF SSR MARKERS ASSOCIATED WITH WBPH (Sogatella furcifera, Horvath) RESISTANCE IN RICE (Oryza sativa L.)”
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2010) NIKAM VIVEK SUDHAKAR; Dr. G. C. Jadeja
    Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the most important food crop in the world and a model cereal species for molecular researches. Rice is the staple food in many parts of the world, including many developing countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Through genetic studies, eight major genes conferring resistance to WBPH in rice germplasm Wbph 1 to Wbph 8 have been reported. Among these, wbph 4 is recessive, whereas, the other seven are dominant genes. Besides major genes, QTLs have been reported for WBPH resistance

    GENETIC DIVERSITY STUDIES ON CASTOR (Ricinus communis L.) USING RAPD AND ISSR MARKERS
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2010) GAJERA BHAVESHKUMAR BHIMJIBHAI; Subhash N.
    Castor (Ricinus communis L. 2n=20, family : Euphorbiaceae) is an industrially important for production of non-edible oil. Two DNA based molecular marker techniques, random amplified polymorphism DNA (RAPD) and inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR), were used to study the genetic diversity in castor genotypes. Out of the two hundred RAPD and twenty one ISSR primers screened, a total of 35 polymorphic primers (30 RAPD and 5 ISSR) were used. Amplification of genomic DNA of 22 genotypes, using RAPD analysis, yielded 256 fragments, of which 205 were polymorphic, with an average of 6.83 polymorphic fragments per primer. Number of amplified fragments with RAPD primers ranged from six to twelve and varied in size from 160 to 3000 bp. Percentage polymorphism ranged from 27.27 to 100. The five ISSR primers produced 47 bands across 22 genotypes, of which 32 were polymorphic, with an average of 6.4 polymorphic fragments per primer. The number of amplified bands varied from eight to thirteen, with size range from 240 to 2700 bp
