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.

    MORPHO-PHYSIOLOGICAL AND NUTRACEUTICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF JIVANTI [Leptadenia Reticulata (Retz.) Wight & Arn.] AT DIFFERENT HARVEST TIME
    (DEPARTMENT OF BIOCHEMISTRY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) Patel Divyeshkumar Mangubhai; Dr. Nitesh S. Litoriya
    Jivanti (Leptadenia reticulata (Retz.) Wight & Arn.) is an important medicinal plant as it provides various nutrients and having different active compounds, which cure different human illness. Jivanti is a crop in which entire plant is considered to be economically valuable parts of plant. Moreover, it is evident that phytoactive compounds present in the plant, are accumulated at different parts of the plant and their concentrations varies with plant growth and developmental stages. As a result, in order to get the maximum benefit, it is necessary to determine best harvest time and plant part.

    EFFECT OF MELATONIN UNDER SALINITY STRESS IN CUCUMBER (Cucumis sativus L.)
    (Department of Biochemistry B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University Anand, 2020) Jadeja Malharsinh N; Dr. Y. M. Shukla
    Salinity is a major abiotic stress limiting growth and productivity of plants in many areas of the world due to increasing use of poor quality of water for irrigation and soil salinization. Seed priming is basically a pre-sowing controlled seed hydration treatment, it has proven successful in enhancing seed performance for a number of crops including vegetables. Several physiological and biochemical changes take place in seeds during the priming treatment or as a consequence of the osmotic condition. Melatonin play an important role as antistress agent abiotic stress, exogenous Melatonin applications improved growth, photosynthetic capacity, antioxidant activity and chlorophyll content, but decreased the ROS level.

    STUDY ON WATER STRESS AND MELATONIN IN TOMATO (Solanum lycopersicum L.) AT SEEDLING STAGE
    (DEPARTMENT OF BIOCHEMISTRY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2020) Vadee Dhruvinkumar N.; Dr. J. J.Dhruv
    Tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum L., 2n=2x=24) belongs to the genus Solanum under the Solanaceae family. Its center of origin was Peruvian and Mexican region. It is one of the most popular vegetables widely grown in the world. It’s known as protective food, because of its special nutritive value and also its widespread production. Water deficit or drought stress is the most common environmental stress factor which limits plant productivity. Under drought stress, net photosynthesis is reduced caused by the regulatory mechanisms. Melatonin is a new plant growth regulator and it has been reported to alleviate the oxidative damages caused by water deficit stress. The presence of melatonin in plants is universal. The present experiment was carried out to study the effect of water stress and melatonin in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) at seedling stage in laboratory condition on various biochemical, photosynthetic pigment, osmolytes, enzymatic antioxidants, non-enzymatic antioxidants and molecular parameters in leaf of three tomato cultivars (1) ATL 11-05 (2) GAT 5 (3) AT 3 and five treatments i.e. (1) T1 = Control (Absolute control) (2) T2 = Hydropriming (Control) (3) T3 = Seed priming treatment of Melatonin (0.1mM) (4) T4 = Water stress ( At seedling stage ) and (5) T5 = T3 + T4.

    EFFECT OF SPROUTING TIME ON NUTRITIONAL QUALITY OF CHICKPEA (Cicer arietinum L.) AND MUNGBEAN (Vigna radiata L.)
    (Department of Biochemistry B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University Anand, 2020) Madastu Saikrishna; Dr. N. J. Patel
    Sprouting tends to enhance the nutritional value of the legumes or pulses. These contain certain anti-nutrients including phytic acid and protein inhibitors which locks up important minerals. It also inhibits our digestive enzymes that can cause indigestion and intestinal gas. Sprouting increases the nutritive value of the ingredients and provides better digestion. Further, it provides the amino acids more readily available. And increase antioxidants which helps in detoxifying body by boosting the oxygen levels in the body.
