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.

    IDENTIFICATION OF GENES ASSOCIATED WITH DIRECT AND INDIRECT ORGANOGENESIS EVENTS DURING MICROPROPAGATION OF SANDALWOOD (Santalum album L.) BY qPCR
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) GAREEMA; Dr. G. B. Patil
    Sandalwood (Santalum album L.) is the nature’s gift in the world that requires stringent method for the plant production to avoid scarcity in future. In a bid to conserve the remaining germplasm, blend of plant tissue culture and biotechnology provides a feasible, effective means of propagating members of this genus. The detailed understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying the success or failure of traditional propagation can be explored by application of expression study. Considering the importance of in vitro organogenesis, the present study was carried out at Department of Agricultural Biotechnology, AAU, Anand to standardize the protocol of sandalwood for direct organogenesis and indirect organogenesis coupled with qRT-PCR technique for identification of the genes expressed during direct organogenesis and indirect organogenesis events, validation and absolute gene expression profiling of these genes in organogenesis events.
